So far IR is swinging about 0 for 95 for email responses but I received a response from Thomas Mika (after CCing as many contacts as I could). No details and typical boilerplate response but at least we know their emails are working. IR was CC'd in the email so it looks like they're being treated as a real functional group, despite appearances as an investor. This is all FYI DYODD GL HF
Below is my frustrated, nuisance email and Thomas Mika's response. I was hoping for a smidgeon of details but believe or not (lol!) he's pretty tight lipped. IR and company reps can sometimes be very open about details and with their time in my personal experience (see: Pyrogenesis CEO, several marijuana company companies, etc).

"Been following POET for a long while and the company seems headed in the right direction, great work to all involved! The stock however is absolutely trashed. It is beyond stagnant.
Obviously we're still severely hampered by the devastating and incompetent financing that was completed in 2016. With volumes like PTK has seen it will take roughly 2 years to get through all of those conversions. Talk about overhang!
The market will need to see some details on Sanan, and any North American partnerships, insider buying on the open market, buying of large blocks from partners on the open market, among a thousand different options. Is there a reason this has not already occurred? THe management team buying 20k each on the open market would go a long way. Or having Sanan buy a few million at market.
Keep up the great work.
Sincerely,
A concerned shareholder"
