Can you not just feel the difficulty in CC's response to Sulasailor? He sounds somewhat conflicted as well, almost as if he'd like to come straight out and tell you how it is, but he just can't. The Wizard needs to stay behind the curtain.

These dates are not "deadlines," they are estimates, whether in good faith or not, the point is that they always have and should have some wiggle room. Of course, people can sell some of all of their shares anytime they want or get too fed up with the way things are going. I'm hangin' in there, cuz this type of stuff is just not at all surprising to me, and in fact, very much expected. However, I, too am disappointed, just not very upset.

But what was all that wording of the magazine article by GT recently? I believe some of the tenses of some of the verbs in that article may have been "tuned-up" a bit by PC and other, non-scientist personnel.

Look, this stock was manipulated upward in the weeks leading to EC, and I'm betting a good bit of the buying that propelled that rise was generated by deftly "manipulated" users of this very board!

My guess is that most here are not ready to commit more capital to POET just now, and given that, the fact that stock has stabilized in the last 5-7 trading days is impressive.

Do not underestimate the power of users of this board to move the stock - if Rob's poll is fairly accurate, and those who participated acted anywhere near in concert, that could have been a very significant force.
