I am sure that - especially since all the TV-adds started - there are several interested invstors arround. Not the classic institutionals, but hedge funds, grass root scouts or e.g. the people from the fool.

But what should these investors do to buy a significant portfolio of - let us say 10 Mio PTK shares? They want to get in with the lowest possible SP before they tell the story and before POET goes out of stealth.

So I guess exactly this is what we can see since quite a while. MM are playing games to get into PTK, step by step, day by day. My suspicion is that many of these constant bashers at the other board (and from time to time also here - but they all soon get banned :-) ) are not shorting, their agenda is to keep the SP down, to seed doubt, and to collect low price shares from shaky hands. Up and down, again and again.

I can be patient, and I can - from time to time, get a stinky bid filled.
At the moment PTK is my piggybank!
