JTB: ... but I have to wonder why the likes of Mining companies ,pharmacuticals oil and gas plays all see shareprices far above their real value while they are in what can only be described as developemental stage ,Poet is beyond that and we don't seem to get the recognition that we should ...

Photonics is not hyped. Pharma is. Simple as that.

Everybody reads about pharmaceuticals and the incredible chances (who did some years ago?). But very few out there know about the future need of photonic integration, and very few of them know the different approaches (monolithic/bonded or III-V/SiPhotonics), and very few of them know POET and its potential. Who reads "compound semiconductor magazine"? No analyst, no investor. It´s an unknown megatrend knocking at the door. The door is yet to be opened but there is no doubt it will be opened widely.

Besides: Investors all over the world are looking for hidden future super heroes like POET. If we leave the Venture Exchange, these investors may have a closer look if they understand the technology.

Three things have to happen to boost SP:

- Megatrend "Photonics" is recognised (will happen, but we can´t accelerate this)

- Change the stock exchange (Management doesn´t even think about it as today)

- Let the world know about POET´s potential (Customers and working products are needed for this)

So you are part of a minor elite waiting for a coming out. Or you accidentally stumbled over this stock, just as me. However, we both have to wait. Dammit.

That´s the way I see it. Good luck!
