This was not a good day for POET longs any way you'd like to slice it. At 100,000 volume, I wouldn't be very concerned, this was concerning. It may just mean that this was a risk on day, so people wanted to get out of POET and into something that has a better chance of moving up in the next month or two. Just guessing, but that would be a very optimistic guess.
Nothing wrong with the new guy's post, I was thinking the same thing - of course it's hyperbolem, and meant with a bit of sarcasm (but what would I know about sarcasm? :)), but hyperbole has been far more common over the years with the pump side than the dump side.
