Longtime lurker here from the Opel days too.  POET was one of my largest holdings before the slide and I know it's a risky small-cap.  This Thanksgiving I get to face all the family members I cajoled into buying shares "under $8 while pounding the table".  I personally don't know the technology really well but always thought that some of the knowledgeable posters here gave good reason to overweight this stock.  

I pray this isn't some nefarious take-down resulting in POET closing their doors permanently as I've seen this happen before with companies having a similar share-price trajectory over the past few days.  

I've been buying small amounts on the way down and have resolved to ride this down to $0 or back up towards my break-even point.  I hope the management team can really unlock the value of POET's technology and frankly always wondered why the qualification cycles take so long in this industry (with less regulatory hurdles) for this product that has such a clear technological advantage.  

Hopefully any perceived delays are more a matter of needed funds to get into commercialization rather than some technical issue under the hood that turns out to be a show-stopper.  

Well, just feel better venting here (lurking so long on this board) and will go back into fly-in-wall mode.  But finally GLTA here.
