AdAstra,

Yes, I'm hopeful of that, too.  I'm sure they are doing what they can by remunerating key employees with options beyond their salaries, as we have a lot of people now, that based on what people here generally believe about them, should be making very nice salaries.

The CV is such a huge cloud over this entire market, it is more difficult than ever to read market moves as positive or negative.  Today's volume both stateside and in Canada was very low.  That's surprising as I, along with many others, was hoping for some volume/price boost from exposure at the OFC.  Is no one in the mood to buy?  Quite possibly. And, remember, the guys that buy and sell POET are right here, we don't design OI's or chips or whatever, but we do speculate in the market.  Many who work in the industry probably do not, other than to take the options that their own companies may provide for them.  For the past two and a half weeks, I wish dearly I had their mentality!  LOL
