Re: "do you believe that no news is good news", I have an opinion on that which does not matter, however I don't think the market likes the silence at all, and that worries me short term. My worry is if the silence continues for the next few weeks. It is time to communicate!!
Re: "Poet is certainly testing everyone's courage now wouldn't you say .....??" I would agree in a big way, I am a patient guy, but recently the silence is frustrating and testing me in a very huge way, and at times it makes me angry.
Back to what Junkers said a few days ago "For some reason I am feeling optimistic". I am as well, and I hope we are right. Something has to be said soon, even just the schedule for the next update.
I do feel that the lack of involvement in public companies is showing. I understand that the focus is to execute, as it should be, I just hope it is understood that once they execute, they need to publically communicate that. The management may be confident and quite happy with the direction and recent progress, but we don't know anything about that for the most part, and they need to realize that. I also feel that they should stop making some public statements that set up expectations that are not being met. Of course the statements are open to interpretation, but I think we can all agree that "soon" has now passed, we have not seen "up and to the right", and how long after a discussion is "advanced" does it take for something to come to fruition.
In all fairness, it could be argued that "early Q4" is up until the end of this month, after which point it becomes middle Q4. Time will tell. It is time for some proof to the public, rather than just words, as the words have not had the desired impact on the SP, obviously.
Best of luck with your investment, and patience!!
