George - when is this one taking place?  Looking forward to some kind of explanation beyond what is in the press release.  

Why now?  After the good POET faithful have topped up their TFSAs plus alittle in the investment account given all the great news and progress.  Why not do it at the end of Dec?  Things were quite, attention was elsewhere.  Maybe the impact would have been less? Maybe when we topped up our TFSAs we could have bought at 0.71 not 0.86.

I get it - short term pain, long term gain.  After 10+ years, we good soldiers have seen our share of "short" term pain.  We were just starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel then, like Lucy does to Charlie Brown, the football gets pulled away and old Charlie Brown ends up on his back frustrated and embarrassed.

So, am I upset? Yep.  $60K lopped off my portfolio in 60 minutes.  A couple of weeks ago, I was one of those hoping to get off the Venture.  Still am.  I don't get why we couldnt have done it organically.  With news and results and sales forecasts and signed deals.   

I trust Suresh and crew know what they are doing with respect to the technology.  While hope is not a good investment strategy, we have to hope they know what they are doing with respect to this move. 

OK.  Rant over and fingers crossed.
