I concur with this part of your post "It will take more time but I think management buying D/L and BB may have saved our bacon in the long run.. It will take longer but I think in the end most of longterm shareholders will be ok."
I am so grateful to POET management for having the thoughtfulness and methodology on not limiting itself to one platform. Having both a GAAs (even though it is taking longer than imagined to bring to fruition) and InP platform with products releasing in 2017, yes in 2017; that does save our bacon and buys POET time to fulfill its aspiration of becoming a true photonics integrator. It is on that point that I do still see a tremendous future with POET's opportunities. The WDM InP products will save POET's bacon in the short term. After the AGM formalities are complete, it would be interesting on how management responds to any questions about it's InP platform, general strategy and aim to get a strong foothold in data rooms globally. We already have distributors (see POET website), so there should be no delay once we are ready to market our products. In hindsight, the Denselight/BB Photonics acquisitions will probably turn out to be among the best investments that this company has ever made. I feel that confident. The last presentation was their best in terms of providing more clarity to help make this company easier to understand. mazan4, don't give up as POET has obviously not given up --- it is really only getting started in a more realistic, with excellent probabilties and in a serious way now in my opinion.
