Good afternoon all,

Firstly, I agree that we need an update on the VCsel et al as it applies to the direction (and success) that POET has undertaken. I wonder if the many delays over the past 18 months pushed POET to buy their own equipment. Who knows!

However, POET has taken a wholly different direction since the early days of Peter Copetti and co. I distinctly remember asking Peter C. if he, and the board at that time, would be maxmizing our overall long term gain by supporting POET. At that time Peter C. and the board appeared to be leaning towards some form of licencing, royalty, etc.

Considerable months and years (unfortunately) have past but I truly believe that the new Mgmt group has taken the company down a path of maximizing our long term gain. Albeit totally different, their recent purchases and funding (Yuck!) are certainly going to demonstrate whether we have a product or not. I still go to work on a daily basis to earn a living and I am convinced that the new Mgmt group and the employees of the purchased companies (DL & Photoincs) get out of bed in the morning for the same purpose. There way too many people involved at this point to think that we didn't have something here. Two can easily hide in a park but 50 could not hide in a forest.... If you follow my example. Rats always leave the ship when water appears below.

Personally, I would really like to understand why they 'sold the farm' (PO conditions) to market before the holidays (X-Mas). Time will tell all, I imagine.

One thing is for sure. We do not need to dig up endless posts, as if they were new, to 'explain' how bad things are here at POET.  For many here the journey has been long, and according to some, way too long. That I understand.

So, fortunately I still have sufficient runway in front of me to give the New Mgmt group more time. Meanwhile I will continue to head to the office to earn a living. And for the most part, a living I enjoy. That being said, I have set a personal deadline for this investment which I have shared with a few close friends on this board.

Yours in battle,

Maple Syrup.....

Good morning Rainer

Excellent doc and questions. FJ's additional questions at the end are also useful. 

With today being Turkey day with Pro football in the US and tomorrow being left over Turkey day and college footbal, do you think that our POET will have not already booked their prez material for Monday?

But again, excellent work by both of you guys.

Note: these are the type of posts that keep me reading!

Excellent post. Thankfully most of the hub leaders are not sympatheyic to day traders. Perhaps a few of them will start to take action.

This site is getting old fast. There needs to be a serious reset of the purpose of this board. Otherwise we will continue to loose some very good posters or this place will resemble SH in a hurry. If not already too late.

BCD,

All good points but I suspect that POET will not start out by building such a brick and mortar facility. Such an undertaking would add many more $ and much more time to POET's roadmap.

I believe that they will buy time on an existing Production line somewhere in Singapore. This will enable POET to test and deliver much faster. They can always engage a brick and mortar site and a later time.

Regards,

Good afternoon all,

POET employees, and true of most companies, are not allowed to buy / sell shares on the open market except when the blackouts are lifted. For example, after the Nov 28th announcement the employees will be advised that they can buy / sell POET shares for a period of X days. All noise around this topic in the the short term is mute.

Best regards,

MS
