POET Technologies Inc.

I also thought back then we were a sure buyout target.

Robert Ferri thought that POET could attract a buyout offer but that opinion has never been shared by Suresh. On the contrary he would not expect to see any buyout attempt until such time that POET is in the market and industry is threatened by the market share.

He has realistic expectations with a very experienced board.

A long way from the limited experience in the days of LeeP, MarkB and PC.
