Baboriley, what an excellent summary about POET. You have clearly expressed the emotion (what all long shareholders have endured), the logic (reasons why shareholders believe in their investments have hung on with POET), and the reality (what has actually happened and what is likely to happen within the confines of this darkness). Those chipping away with negativity (different from frustration) are simply treating POET like any other penny stock with lofty goals that are never achieved. They seem to be trying to tap into our emotions. It's easy to make comparables, sit on a couch, and throw darts at all news to puff out and pound one's chest as supposedly all-knowing. It's easy to play on longterm shareholders' emotions when all or most have endured so much with their investment.
Our bet is that we feel POET is likely to be right and we will be likely on the right side of the trade when the market finally discovers and catches up with POET's next phases. The market is looking to those next phases of which should be more concrete. That's what POET's share price is reflecting at the moment. When the first floor is laid upon the foundation and it becomes evident that more floors will be added to the building, then the view of POET changes for the better. That will be what confirms all aspects of what Suresh has been putting into play as becoming reality and quantifiable in a vastly improved share price ahead of any big sales numbers. The market will latch on to the trend.
An NR indicating that qualifications are done and negotiations with customers to POET's next phase would really excite the markets.
