It happens EVERY TIME a conference, trade show, presentation, AGM occurs. The buildup on this board reaches fever pitch, then implodes the next day when the share price recedes.
I would expect this from the Johnny-come-Latelys, but not the regular contributors. 100% of this board is acutely aware of POET and keenly interested in developments. Outside this board, ie. the investment community? I'd be surprised if 1% knew what POET is or does. Especially at a time when there's potential for prolonged major market volatility.
Mika said specifically, that he "is not ruling out" revenue for 2020 (which has 9 months left) BECAUSE BY LAW HE HAS TO say that. He also uttered the letters "NRE" which is the first time I've actually heard him do so.
What's your preference? Make false projections and get murdered here, or temper expectations and potentially surprise us and the market? The tone of what I heard yesterday is confidence, and assuredness. They know they have something big.
