Thank you Daf for your interesting post in response to my query. Your expensive education was not in vain.
As I understand from your post the lack of elaticity caused by so many firm hands invested in POET does affect the way it trades. There is some hope as at times some posters indicate they would sell at $C5.0 freeing up some for the market. I was looking for some potential remedy but I think we have to accept that's how it is. Presumably when we are on the NASDAQ and big funds want to enter the only means will be by making asks that can't be refused.
Thank you very much for your learned contribution.
