I'm very much of the mindset that this company will be a winner.

However, no matter who they appoint, until revenue/contracts are announced we are still in the 'speculation' phase...though things look much more promising with each prestigious addition to the board.

Many silicon supporters will need to see to believe. Afterall, most do make their living in a place called "Silicon Valley". Support should strengthen significantly after the initial introduction delivers on its claims, propelling GaAs/POET into the spotlight as the new norm.

Big $'s will come after a Nasdaq listing (opening access to many larger investment dollars) and after contracts and revenue sources are secured (adding interest from more smart money and those who are less risk oritented). This company hasn't even scratched the surface of the investment opportunities that await it.

No matter what jumps or declines we see carrying us to those 2 factors, the difference after the fact should be monumental in comparison. Though movement below the $4-$5 level fills the coffers for many of us, it will most likely be a steal even at those levels once the doors open to the larger institutions, funds, and professional investors that will undoubtedly follow.

I'm sure for many of us it feels as though 5 of our 6 lotto numbers have been called. 1 more coming soon!
