It has been made absolutely clear that POET will only launch onto the NASDAQ from a position of strength; meaning with a deal(s) in hand.
Once POET announces the first significant deal, the SP will shoot north, beyond the levels required for a minimum NASDAQ listing qualification.
However, the Market Makers and Sponsors may insist on an even higher SP level, meaning $10 USD or higher in order to open access to huge tech type funds that only enagage in stocks of $10, $15 or $20+++ USD; they might want access by these huge funds to be immediate, literally upon the opening bell of our first NASDAQ trading day. The reasons why this would be beneficial to ALL stock holders is obvious. If it is not obvious to you, you should not be in this game.
There is no need to fear the RS.
When POET lifts the monetization curtain, there are many strategic reason where I would absolutely welcome a RS.
And then in the future, I would also welcome forward splits with open arms.
Enjoy the trip, it is going to get very exciting, very soon.
You'll see, the writing is on the wall already.
