I remember vividly shortly after the financing and the shelving of GaAs the great lament.  Numerous posters felt bad enough seeing their investment tank but the most regretable sentiment was the fact that many promoted POET to friends and family who, likewise, invested.  It strained relations.  So are we at a point of going back to the same people?  I for one will not be doing that just yet.  Better to have friends and family buy in later on 99% footing: after all if POET has the goods then there is a lot to be made even with an entry at $5 or more.  

So what is that 100% footing?  Announcement of big name buyers? Detector portion fully qualified therefore allowing for a full transeiver build and more?
