I do believe that Suresh wants to be absolutely sure and ready before going to market with products. You only get one chance to make a great impression, but not many chances at mediocre impressions. At the THM, Ajit had seemed to make it sound like POET was just around the corner and that we should be happy impatient shareholders and buy more stock. Well that was at the $1.20 to $1.40 range at the time. We still however have to thank Ajit for bringing Suresh aboard and that has resulted in bring Bill Ring aboard so our team credibility grows. I also feel that when the time is right, Ajit's Indian company probably is a future prospective customer for POET's products. So Ajit seems to be distancing himself more from POET now to get ready for something, I suspect. Ajit's specialty is manufacturing and that is where we will probably see him at his best (retirement, yeah, right). Suresh and the others at POET seem to be the drivers in advancing Dr. Taylor's innovations to commercial viability. In hindsight, I have lost respect for Ajit somewhat for his comments at the THM, but I still hold him in regard for his vision and letting those whom he brought to POET to do the grunt work, as he is or wants to be retired, semi-retired or something. Well, that something is that he wants to make his legacy for India's hi tech industry by somehow bringing POET into the fold down the road as what I suspect is a customer of POET. I claim no accuracy for this forward-looking statement as it is a hunch.
