I think a lot of the selling is people who need their money. They needed POET to succeed quickly as they required the funds for this or that.
I must say, if I never knew about POET and just found out about them on the conference call, I'd be extremely excited about this opportunity. I would be investing a large portion of my family assets in this once in a lifetime opportunity that all but promises to pay off in the next year.
Contrast: Contrast that with the reaction many of us had who were already here. Disappointment seems to be the consensus mood of the day. Funny how we, as humans, will drag our past around like an anchor. I work with addicts in my spare time and find this to be the biggest hurdle to success. It's human nature.
This time we have been handed a plan from the best in the business. These guys don't mess around. When they say "this is the plan" you can be sure that this IS the plan.
Those exiting right now (excepting those who desperately held on and now need the money to survive) may well regret selling. As was discussed, deals can be made in the next year, partnerships. Any one of these could be with a big name, and it could happen any day. That day will be the day that shares increase significantly. That day articles will be written and attention will be drawn.
As I said, if it just found out about POET I'd be so excited to be part of this. It is for that reason that I have chosen to live with that attitude. So, I come out of yesterday's call more excited than ever before. It finally feels real.
