The title says it all "POET Technologies Announces Technology And Regulatory Updates".

I agree with Dereks points. Though this is formal confirmation that they did achieve scaling down to 100nm, there appears to be more work done before they can check off MS8. Look at all the other milestone achievements and all of them include in the title of the news release that POET announces "completion" or "achievement" of a particular milestone.

Also by looking at the stock price reaction (which a lot of the gains IMO were likely carry over from yesterday), a completed MS 8 would have sparked a much larger gain today (IMO at least 20-25%). I would never have expected only a 9% gain on MS 8 the day of the announcement. This was another news release that was worded in such a way that has created a bit of confusion, but the timing was interesting nonetheless. I loved the news about Manocha yesterday but this one is throwing me off a bit. There should be enough irons in the fire and excitement to keep this run going a while longer while we wait for third-party validation. Good luck.
