Abel00, that is the BEST post I have read in a long time. I hardly read this forum any more. The hub leaders and a few select others. I have been in POET for about two years, which I know is a lot less time than many on this board. However it is definitely enough time to ride the emotional roller coaster. People say: "you shouldn't invest money that you can't afford to lose." That makes me think of someone telling a young person: "you can't get a job without work experience". How does one get to a place where they can lose, say $30,000 and just shrug it off. I'm certainly not there. I correspond privately with another member of the board. Someone who is highly regarded here. We have both come to temper our expectations. As the CC approached I thought: "if there is not, literally, earth shaking news, the SP will go down." Well, I wasn't disappointed... how's that for irony.

I am happy that POET is in the hands of business executives that can bring Dr. "Genius" Taylor's work to the world. I don't think I could go through the up-down emotional cycle many more times without some kind of heat protection when I leave the earth's atmosphere.

I am long POET. I will stay with it til it reaches a suitable conclusion. People say: " you don't lose money until you sell. I believe that's true. I'm not selling POET. It's my line in the sand. However, I did sell lots of other stocks, at a loss, to buy more POET. And let me say this: I can't"afford to lose a single dollar.

So Abel00, you are a very high quality individual and I wish you were a hub leader.
