I don't think that is true. POET seems to trade independent of the market most of the time. Regarding an R/S that is not on the table. It has been talked about in the past as a means to meet the listing requirements for the NASDAQ but they have no intention of listing on the NASDAQ until the time is right. I believe the next listing will be a move to the TSX.
The technical achievements that are taking place will drive customers to POET. And peripheral markets will also generate new applications
