Message: What would be better, licensing or buyout?

Rob, WhatsApp and Nest were private companies. What share price multiple are you talking about? They weren't publicly trading companies! You can't compare the acquisition of a private company and public company this way.

I'm not going to waste all day talking about this. I made my point, I presented the facts. Come to whatever conclusion you wish from them. No one is going to come in and offer 4 times the current share price without a bidding war. The investors of the acquiring company would be quite upset for one. Maybe a buyout for 100-150% is doable because POET is so disruptive but lets be realistic please.
