If you consider that:
1. POET has been held down "artificially" due to PNP's problems;
2. Institutional buying has been held back due to their own self-imposed disposition toward stocks of this price and of this Exchange;
3. POET's stealth has kept it from wider consciousness among the general class of early-stage investors;
4. The general problem that POET's technology is designed to address is just now starting to filter out to not even the general public but the general geeky public;
5. How many vertical markets POET may be master of...
I would say that the playing out of Newton's third law has every chance to push the stock price on a comparatively less gentle trajectory than that of Apple since 2000. Think of it as a tightly coiled spring.
IMO.
