By the way, Finisar is an example of a tech company that did a reverse stock split (1:8) in September of 2009. The stock suffered for 3 months or so, and then started rising and has done fine since. Horrible things did not befall the company.

Since it appears there's some indication that Finisar may be involved with POET, I think that's a good move, but I was hoping for "multi-billion" to mean more than two. But they do say they are the leader in their business, so that's definitely encouraging.
