Perspective is a funny thing. If you're like many (and me) and say you bought in 2011, when there was a buzz about this OPEL...you will have endured 4 years of ups and downs; excitement and uncertainty.
If you just heard about POET yesterday, and you bought in below $1.30 today, you'd be pretty thrilled, and maybe even a bit nervous about buying a Venture stock, over a buck.
Having a stake in the game is all that really matters if you believe in the story.
