"This price decline is, as I have stated many times before, only an opportunity. If you knew, with 100% certainty, that POET would skyrocket in the fairly near future, how would you view this price decline? You would see it as an opportunity to purchase more shares."
With all due respect, those of us that have been here for 4-5 years don't really care to hear that for the umpteen time. We are locked and loaded, pockets empty and not seeing this as another "opportunity". Easy for someone to say that just started investing recently. I also wouldn't call them "early days" either. Personally its a bit insulting to know that people are buying shares for cheaper than what they were going for during the time period in 2011 when some of us bought with all the advancements made to the POET technology. The compromise is being able to pick some up for 20 cents a little later on, albeit very hesistant to do so because of the risk involved at the time.
By the way, I've been expecting that POET would skyrocket almost every Monday morning for the last 2 years. Enough said. I assume though for you and your friend, this will be as good as it gets for timing to get in. Good luck, though it shouldn't be needed.
