There is certainly nothing wrong with a buyout in my opinion. It seals our fate and we move on ($)...
But what if POET's evolution involves a more orchestrated development and it retains its identity. It would be quite conceivable that with well-timed releases in several vertical and future markets (Iot, servers and the cloud, every corner of electronics), this company could join the ranks of the Big Boys and become a superpower in its own right. Who knows, maybe POET will one day be able to make some of its own major acquisitions like Apple, Google, HP, IBM and the rest.

GLTA in the upcoming days...
