Notes like I am writing below are frustrating to some who have held OPEL for many years...but I will say it - we are in the 8th inning of the game.

The BOD are now going out with the White Paper, explaning the tech, and setting up follow up meeting with a POET engineer to show off the chip(s) in action. This takes time. There probbably will be follow up meetings for clarificaiton, further Q+A, more info exchange, maybe another meeting after that etc. Then off to the next chip maker/designer (more likely in parrellel)....it is a process- but the caravan is on the roll and moving. A very exciting step in my mind.

I work in technology and i know for one it takes time to evaluate a technology - and more time to discuss internally if this is a item to pursue further (for much lessor techs than POET). Most companies are inheritly risk adverse and need significant due dilligence, proof of concepts, to even consider something new. As stated before, often a political game internally with competeting agendas from CEO, CTO, R+D div, etc.

Lastly, booking meetings, getting everyone calenders alligned for meeting #2, dodging vacations, flying in- i have been there so many times- it just takes time to execute this stuff logistically.

We could see some stock rise this summer as word gets (hope so), but i wouldn't expect a large bump on the website news for example. Steadily the caravan will be getting the word out queing up some interesting elements in the fall I would think.

My suggestion: Just hang in there and enjoy the summer. HFT or other markets factors may play around with our SP for while longer but the market cannot deny the potential in POET. It would be shame to go home before Joe Carter's HR....he hit that in the 9th inning right?
