Message: Then and Now

Just thought I would share a little story. A guy who I bump into once in awhile on the golf course is an investment advisor. Around three years ago I told him about POET (then OPEL) and asked him for his opinion. He told me he would do his regular DD and research and get back to me. About a week later he called me and all he had to say was "is this a real company?".

Recently I saw him on the golf course, only because I was near some water, where I seemed to put my ball in the middle of (apparently not part of the plan for golf). I met up with him after the round for a beer and we discussed POET. He said he took notice when Ajit was hired and started to follow POET. He has recently been floored by the people POET has hired. He always does his regular DD, looking at the balance sheet, debt, available cash, etc., but commented that he puts the Lions share of weight on the people running a company. Given the hires, over the past several weeks he has invested ~ $100,000 of his own money.

He commented that he would also recommend POET to his clients, but can't, due to being on the Venture and the current stock price. He is not the only investment advisor with similar limitations. Well, that will change.

Good luck!! (hoping for a turnaround this afternoon, may or may not happen, no big deal either way, but can still hope)
