Ed Schneider's article(s) and the BEAR attack were pre-meditated (staged). They did their homework on the business/economic conditions of the company and share price. It was set up when the SP was moving to all time highs. They knew very well that POET was in lock down with NDEs signed, all cashed up, no new NRs in the works, no revenues near term, and a $ 400 Million market cap to boot.

It was the perfect storm. One article to cast doubt into the "longs" heads set the storm off. Most of us were in denial, until it was too late. The SP was reaching ridiculous levels ( as far as we were concerned) and even went further, until many speculators/investors decided to jump in or add to their positions. The gig was up then for the shorts. I was surprised to see the short position rise in the latest report, but shows the greed of the shorts as well.

The Pendulum swings both ways, Equilibrium is always acheived. From a trader's point of view, it is best to play the swings both ways.

I am sure many of the warrant holders were in on the short.

Now it is the longs turn. GL.
