A number of us here, and I include myself, remain optimistic about what management has achieved.  A recent post here labelled our attitude unrealisticly over-optimistic. 

It would indeed be unrealistic to imagine that there are no risks or events that could upset a positive view but one such event, in my view, is the recent widely spread over- hyping and promotion of POET on this board which was linked to another company's unexplained run-up.  The  consequence was widespread SP disappointment which has led to an unjust attack on our CFO who since explained, what others had already pointed out, that management have limited windows to benefit from options that they were fairly awarded and TM additionally said have foregone taking such benefits for four and a half years.  Countering also the notion of collusion.

I was taught to think in terms of outcomes when forming policy.  I cannot think that the outcome we  experienced as a consequence of hyped actions on this board to 'tailcoating' the hysteria occurring to another company has done nothing but damage to perceptions of POET'S development nor indeed has the blame game attack on management and particularly our CFO.

I agree that who here does not want a SP run up? but I for one want this to be in response to the proper development of share holder value manifested in building a reputation for quality disruptive products and the resulting demand for POET'S products from customers and certainly not the ill judged hype of dubious market ploys witnessed here.

Surely, the undermining of management at this vital moment in POET development is ill judged and harmful and frankly a damaging own goal.

Please desist from wrecking the Great Expectations that PTK offers.
