Despite the share price tumbling down both pre and post NASDAQ listing and the dearth of announcements regarding Purchase Orders and the same for revenue, I "hang on" to my POET investment.  If anything, the clutching to POET shares is a little tighter now.

Why?

i could list some or all of the reasons already diligently supplied by other members of this forum.  All good reasons.  For that matter, some, if not all, of the negative comments about the vicissitudes of POET provide at least some truth in their construction.

So why not bail in such a presently negative investing environment and try to salvage "something" from my investment.

I can't speak for anyone else on that issue, nor should I speak for anyone else if I could.

My reason for moving onward through all of this FOG and staying invested in POET is quite simple:

I have looked at this man's resume over and over again and there is just no way I can convince myself that someone with that background would leave the job as CTO at Global Foundries to become the CEO of little know POET Technologies unless, in his considered opinion, his personal future would benefit enough to justify the move and his belief in the future of POET vs the future of Global Foundries would justify the move.

I don't know tech, but I do understand personal and professional motives.  His move to POET speaks volumes to me and is the undergirding for my obstinate refusal to sell any of my POET shares at the present time.  Dr. Venkatesan believed his move to POET Technologies would "pay off".  I still believe the man was right.  One man can make a difference and I believe that in respect to the future of POET Technologies, Dr. Suresh Venkatesan is that one man.

JMO and I am no "techie".
