Also ask yourself something;

If a family member would ask you some advice and would tell you they have 50k and looking at buying a tech stock and would like you to advise them a company to buy into.

Would you tell the family member to put the money in POET today?

my answer is: not a chance, still too risky. I would tell them to buy a safer company with a product. something like Intel.

Not hard to see why our SP is going nowhere right now=Too much risk yet.
