Winter I fully agree with you that certain speculation was dead wrong in regards to agoracom. Such as thoughts about prototypes being done years ago, partnerships when really they were just paying to have work completed ect... And yes we can talk when the prototype is actually produced but that's the thing. You will have completely missed the boat by this time. People get excited, their mind runs wild with blue ocean thoughts which leads to disappointment when these expectations have not been met. Or even more so resentment because certain posters ect lead you to believe something that wasn't there.
Listen carefully now because this is important. POET was put at an unfair expectation by its shareholders with speculation that you speak of and you and others were right about how how far along the tech had actually advanced. But it was NOT POET making these claims.
Now here's where it really is different this time.
This time POETs goal is to create the prototype and proof of concept for their prospective buyers, opposed to licensing. The expectation in the past of POET secretly being ahead in development and having products to prove this to there perspective buyers were false. Here's where you need to open your eyes and let the lasers in. What the hype was last year is actually happening now. People were just to far ahead in their time lines and expecting too much. Peoples perseption of where the company was trading in the 1.50-2$ range is actually where we are right now. This time POET is disclosing the info and it's not coming from random investors. You are out of your mind if you don't think an investment in this range, couldn't pay multiples if the current management team can deliver on what they are promising in second half of this year.
So why would you invest now? I mean it's dead money until second half of the year right? Wrong. Your going to miss on the partner announcment who's providing the NRE to have a mass production run of the developed prototype. Good luck trying to find the bottom, most of you will just totally miss it this time around.
