Most Vancouver-listed stocks are hype or turn out to be hype. The real companies rise to the top and eventually get a major listing. Quick one-liners by executives and CEOs do nothing for the reputation of the exchange. There are good CEOs and bad CEOs and some that should never be a CEO. Despite what has happened in the past with POET, I think that management has evolved and is doing it's best, and that best is just around the corner. They fessed up to delays, hinted about the challenges beyond their control and in a previous NR they alluded to "managing their own destiny". They had to absorb Denselight and BB Photonics and integrate all employees in a unified culture under POET. Based on their past NRs and commentary here by the technically astute, it is fair to assume that POET will deliver upon its promises in 2017. It must have been a lot of $%#@ to wade through, but I do not feel that their technical progres ever has lagged --- call it, a gut feeling ---- sometimes one just has to rely on their gut. My gut says we have a winner that does not look like a winner at the moment, but is at an inflection point of living up to being a winner. Anything north of $3 per share and beyond will make this stock a winner because we have to overcome the suppression of share dilution from the last financing on our share price. Of course, my expectations expect news of 'substance' to support my lofty price expectation of $3 per share or more. Positive persistence keeps the opportunities alive. Our management has maintained positive persistence; therfore, the opportunities still remain to be realized. We must be getting close or am I just a wishful thinker?
