Quan Gork: I also don't think it would make any sense that POET is involved in the bidding war for ANAD, not even with a partner. Why would they? What would they gain? POET needs bigger partners and bigger capacity in the future. As for any comments about POET directly buying ANAD, my only comment is I should hope not!!

I very much agree with your view, Quan Gork. I also don't see that bidding war as an excuse for POET not having announced the conference call yet. Business realities like having too much work on to few shoulders, negotiating and closing deals with partners, fostering the business versus preparing a conference call would be a far better excuse. And it would be one I'd happily accept.
