FJ - A good post but in reality it is none of our business as to why Dr. T sold his shares. No more then it is anyone's business if I sell mine. Fact is - he made POET what it is today, we are taking a risk ( of free will I might add ) of investing in POET. If it succeeds, the risk pays off. If it doesn't, well we lose on the investment. No one is forcing us to stay on with POET. The sale was announced along with a statement from him. As an investor risking my money, I accept his statement and will continue to hold POET. I don't need him to explain his personal life to me and neither does anyone else here.
