Slab, once again, I admire your optimism.  However, irrespective of how long ago this financing was agreed upon, I feel confident that the market performance of Poet this week was orchestrated, using the tried and true methods that have worked in the past. 

This financing has the aroma of a favor to someone, and I'm pretty sure that some share sales, short or otherwise we're used to finance that "investor's" purchase. 

Bottom line, we got a bunch of cash, which is good, and it was done in a manner which Poet and countless other issuers have done it in the past. It's business as usual in this arena!  

The very positive thing is that Poet appears to be in the mix of the companies that will profit greatly from AI and electronics in general. So much of the time, these financings are done for a company without much chance of ever succeeding. We have a big chance.
