I agree Oogee, I've listened to that interview 4 times, and current share price is of no concern for me. It can go up and down all it wants. Peter says, "We’re moving from purey a research company to now into the development stage. To that end, investors need to watch for reports achieving commercial partnerships/deals with major industry players. Now, I believe that we can accomplish this in 2014 with more deals to follow in 2015." I feel by the end of this year and into early next year we could see near extreme increases in share price. This is if everything goes as Peter and the BOD have planned.
I honestly believe Peter when he says they are building a standalone company. I honestly don't believe POET could be controlled by one major company in one part of the industry. My opinion is POETs unannounced possible partner also feels the same way and they are assisting POET in staying a standalone company.
