Why can't you compare? All those companies were once in R&D themselves. Then they became huge, and as they declined...what was the board begging of its shareholders? Patience.
It's all about what your money could be doing otherwise. Up until recently, the markets were on a huge uptick...from around this point last year. POET sat stagnant. I'm not giving up here...just making a point. It's time to show me something.
