Would like to add to Bumblebee excellent synopsis 2 further thoughts:
First, often firms in strategic alliances will enter into a cross share agreement . That is to say %of POET is exchanged with the strategic alliance partner GF(?).. And GF provides a % of their shares to POET.. Keeps the focus aligned and more difficult to take apart.. GF 160 firms once adopting GF might be a concern if POET at some point felt it might wish to expand its role.if true.. The venture exchange shares would be a hard sell to GF shareholders .. Need large exchange with some value...to enable this to happen.
Second, as we witnesses last week.. As the warrants etc get flushed can impact value of shares.. Few buyers.. If on major exchange and a SP that would permit investors to buy seems to me the SP drop can be mitigated.
On balance reading bumblebee and ST and others I lean to supporting the directing minds of the firm...they have a far better view of the road.. I have faith...tpower
