I've been a bit down the past 24 hours or so. 

I've lost money in my POET investment.  A lot. Over $650,000.  And I'm not rich, so it hurts.  

But I didn't buy on margin - and I feel for you, Royalton, and everyone else who has had margin calls.  I still own the stock.  I'm not holding a Pom Pom, and I'm not trying to cheer everyone up.  A 40% drop is significant.  But my position is the same as it was 6 months ago.  I own shares in an early stage company with technology that addresses a market need, patents, industry relationships, and recognition.  I own the stock for the potential of it's long term value, and I accept the significant risk related to the investment.

I agree that management needs to communicate better.  Or, just communicate.  But I still own shares.  And I believe all the margin calls contributed to the drop.  So I bought more.

I read all your comments.  The frustration is justified.  I'm just saying - I'm still in the game.
