"I refuse to allow your gloomy view to affect my optimism for POET in 2017 whilst fully accepting that good luck and serendipity needs to be with us"
I agree with Junkers and I do not think his intent was to paint a gloomy picture, rather more of a realistic summary of where we are at. A statement that is not cheer leading, does not have to be classified as a gloomy view. Yes, we can comment on progress (although we certainly are not in the know about that, rather assumptions) and can be optimistic about 2017, just like we were (myself included) about 2016, 2015, 2014, etc. The bottom line is that the current SP is terrible, and in large part due to serious mistakes made by POET management, IMO. Some delays are unavoidable, but some should not have been a surprise for these experts. For example, they should know about export permits, should they not? I won't get into the financing as that just makes me grumpy. Oh ya, they must have needed to do this, great, maybe one day we will know why? I am still very confused why we increased our IR costs.
I am still here, and I am also optimistic for 2017, but I may also just be a fool, as so far that has been the case.
An example of a previous assumption, tax loss selling, well that is now gone, yet look at the SP. I am here to make money, which is obviously a function of the SP. With reference to the SP, POET management gets a "F", and I can't imagine any one thinking otherwise. Perhaps this master plan pays off in a big way, so I will wait just like everyone else. Let's call a spade a spade. I would rather not be in the need of good luck, rather just plain execution, and now is the time for that. So yes, "Results Now" is appropriate. I don't want to hear anymore about "rock stars", "execute, execute, execute", "up and to the right", "expect results soon", "advanced discussions", etc. I want to hear about progess with prototypes and not silence about that for the next 6 months. POET still has set some goals, and just because they now have the "New Communications and Disclosure Policy", they still need to get things done. That is not an excuse for further delays.
So POET, get it done, timing is very critical.
Good luck to all longs!!
