Regarding Lee, if 95% of the people who post here are correct in their assessment of POET's potential, then it appears to me that that the most likely conclusion is that he was asked to leave. What could be bigger? Someone had posted that perhaps the tech had passed him by, and that could be it, I don't know, but it sure doesn't make much sense to voluntarily be leaving POET now. From all accounts, Lee is a great guy and I hope he's leaving for something he enjoys more. I'm sure if POET succeeds, he will be fine financially, too.
I also think the rise in price early on was provided by members of this board, as there is more than sufficient reason to buy more stock based on what I've read so far. As to the apparent non-sustainability of the price, well, the beat goes on.
Eileen mentioned at one point that perhaps she wasn't fully awake yet? LOL, based on her posts before that one, she was not only fully awake, but posting as if she'd had 10 cups of coffee!
The Silicon Valley stuff is very promising, but I'm guessing that's where Ajit was based while he was at GF, so he's returning home, or perhaps staying home, as I doubt he took up permanent residence in Connecticut.
Trying to make sense of the stock price action, although it does dovetail with the giddiness on this board since the news was released.
As usual, looking at things differently than most.
