This has been brought up monthly on this board, I know I have mentioned it to this board as well as any contact I can find at Poet.
The response is the weak, "NDA" or whatever flavour excuse is the taste of the month, and of course no response from Poet/IR.
I believe they deserve options but I do not think they have the right people working the marketing/financial side. Take some at current prices but set some for $X for the future. And then buy some on the open market. Have some confidence and show the market that you have some confidence. It is not that difficult. SPY is almost back to all time highs and anyone in longer than the past couple months is hurting from holding this stock, especially when you see every other stock flying.
