Current Market Cap of Intel is 143 Billion$.

If that is where we are in 2019. I think most here would be OK with that.

Over the years, being invested in this company, I have learned not to over-react to things. I can deal with life situations now in a fashion that other people are amazed at.

I don't know a fraction about this technology that others on this board do, so I don't really post that much. I thank you all for your input.

I don't know what is about to happen to this company.

I did find an article on II-VI, dated today, who we know has just bought 2 companies with connections to POET.

II-VI doesn't expect to slow down in the near future. "With our acquisitions and investments to commence next quarter," Kramer noted, "we are accelerating the build-out of a scalable semiconductor VCSEL laser platform." The executive also said that record bookings indicate a strong fourth-quarter finish to the fiscal year.

hmmm, this sounds interesting.

BTW, if I do well from my investment in PTK/OPL and someone says that all I did was invest in a penny stock, I will know that owning and holding this stock has been one of the most difficult ventures of my life.

I guess we figured they were done, but I think this confirms they have no more PTK shares to liquify. Good bye and good riddance.

Hope the link works. GLTAL

Does anyone know if there was an after hour trade? Looks like the volume went up about 6k shares. Would someone be kind enough to post house positions for today? TIA

I don't post often, because there are posters here who know way more about the tech and this company than I do, so I mainly just read what is going on.

This board is a place where many people will come to do research on this company and I do feel it is very closely watched by investors.

I also firmly believe that the people running this company will not have their decisions swayed one bit by this board, they will follow their plan, regardless of what is posted here.

Now to my point, why would any person holding a considerable amount of shares in this company post negative thoughts about the company, they should want to promote their company and have their assets go up in value, similar to selling your car or house, you want to promote the positives and not dwell on any potential negatives.

Therefore, if you are reading this board and there is a continuing negative tone from certain posters, I would think they are shorting the stock or trying to accumulate at lower prices. The opposite is true for the positive posters, they are likely long and holding, wanting their asset to go up in value.

I know this seems overly simplistic, but try to remember this when reading posts on this board and it may help prevent you from making a move you could regret in the future.

I know it has been said here before, but I think there are some exciting times ahead.
