Discoswede: The more they educate themselves, the less whining we endure.

Very true! However, I would like to encourage everybody to first educate themselves about the POET technology, the semiconductor market, and the technology's poetentials in the various markets.

Once you have come to end with that :-) for one or the other reason, you might want to educate yourself about technical analysis (TA), too. However, you should be aware of what TA can do and what it cannot do. Basically it is a system of self-fulfilling prophecy based on past trading, making no attempt to take the future into account. This might work to some extend under certain conditions and with certain probabilities – until being disrupted by news or by otherwise changed fundamentals.
