Really what we should all be doing is enjoying these snapshots of history and enjoying the level of confidence that is being demonstrated by this company in terms of the science advancement and the capability of management to see that this technology gains adoption by the best companies possible to move it forward. I truly and honestly believe that the technology and management initiatives are happening simultaneously to grow POET into a monster company. We are along for the ride so enjoy it and really try not to get hung up on the little details along the way it is just not worth it. This company is going to be amazing to watch and we have a front row seat to history in the making here. I think we are invested in a company that has the keys to advance one of the biggest and most valued industries in the world. As I have stated in the past you are not going to have to own a lot of shares to have meaningful benefits to your lifestyle but if you are a trader and are hoping to play the ups and downs with too much of what you own you could really regret it in the end. I think a lot of people are going to be caught short this week but for those of us that don’t want the risk and stay long I think you can be confident in your decision and not have to be glued to this screen and instead enjoy what life has to offer every day.
fj: I think the above statements from your "Follow the Science" submission is what is being referred to.
It reads like great wealth is just around the corner for all of us if we just continue to believe and hang in there and while we all hope POET is successfully monetized and as shareholders we are rewarded for our faith and patience, we should as well know there are no guarantees.
History shows that the roads are littered with great ideas that bumped up against an obstacle, unforseen or otherwise that couldn't be overcome. There is still RISK associated with this investment.
Let me also set the record straight: I have great respect for yourself, ooggee and the other leaders and contributors to this board for your time, energy and wisdom invested in dd and sharing it with this board.
I as well respect and admire your enthusiasm and confidence in this particular company, its management and particularly Dr. Taylor.
My submissions to this board are only meant to temper that enthusiasm with some balance in that we all should know that it is not just a matter of time before great wealth falls from the skies on all of us.
A lot of things need to go right and a lot of things could go wrong. The fact that the share price is struggling in the $1.50's is for a number of reasons and only a very small portion can be blamed on manipulation. Thinking otherwise is delusional.
Big money was still buying Google at $20.00 and didn't stop because it gained or loss .20 cents on any given day. If big money was chasing PTK because they knew it was such a sure thing they would be buying at $3.00 or $5.00 and not worrying if they could get 20,000 shares fifteen cents cheaper.
I have to believe that management is working on all the right things and as an investor I am hopeful that positive outcomes will be news released over the coming weeks and months.
FJ, nothing of what I have said was meant to be personal and if taken that way please let me apologise.
Keep Calm and Carry On!
