I have been heavily invested for going on 5 year now, adding more every chance i get.

That said, I do feel revenue is key given the exchange on which we are listed. The talent being added and potential of the stock are weakened by the listing. Given the same circumstances on the Nasdaq, we would probably be seeing better numbers.

Many smart investors won't buy anything on the "lesser" exchanges, and many usually look for a dividend. Many investment firms just won't acquire from these exchanges. Some require a certain value and minimum revenue ratios. The Nasdaq requirements to obtain and maintain a listing set a certain standard that many investors will look for.

The Nasdaq listing therefore becomes as important as revenues if we can't have both simultaneously.

Having the best product/process, doesn't guarantee success either. Similar to how Beta lost out to VHS, or Mac lost out to PC (originally), we aren't guaranteed anything just because we have the superior product. The manufacturers and consumer market have to be aware and embrace the product.

The key personnel additions to the company are extremely promising and suggest the board are making the right moves toward success. These big names are necessary to make the Silicon Valley insiders understand what they are looking at.

We can speculate that the silence and black out period suggest something big is being assembled, but until they show us the signed dotted line, (like it or not) it remains speculation for now.

On paper to someone ill-versed on the company, they see a lot of well paid executives, with no physical product and a process that has yet to be picked up by anyone. No revenue stream and a lot of (albeit lesser) competition. No dividend and a lot of flip flopping in the price. I can see why it hasn't won over huge support from those giving it a simple quick glance.

Many of us have been following a long time and have a lot of faith and confidence that it will become one of The biggest technological advances in decades. Following the developments on a daily basis of Dr. Taylor's work over 2 decades. Developments for NASA and military. Now to perfect it for the masses to be patented, commercialized, and sold to the masses for immense multitudes of modern day products that continue to grow exponentially every year.

We have a better appreciation and understanding of what we are looking at opposed to the individual glancing at a snapshot of this company. That said, we are still counting on the "deal" to be made by the POET team.

Many have said this often already, but don't be discouraged by ups and downs in the stock price right now. $0.01 or $10 means very little to the longevity and success of this company until an uplisting occurs and deals are signed.

It would be hard to imagine over 2 decades of work being rushed and squandered. They had the patience to wait until things were ready and began setting it in motion when the timing was right. You can bet that once the CEO is announced, deals will be quick to follow. Initial deals will make a Nasdaq listing easily obtainable (if it hasn't already been secured), deals to follow should snowball if the manufacturers are embracing the technology as the new standard.

Many of us have held POET while watching other stocks we could have invested in go up significantly. We have done this because we see serious astronomical possibily with the process that could lead to exponential stock growth of many many times its current value. This is what keeps us here and not as upset as we should be when watching other possibiliies pass us by.

The company seems to poised to set 2015 as the breakout year. Now's the time to be holding tight and awaiting the next move. I would imagine given the timing, that this will be the last dip we see before things gets interesting.
