Rainer, I do like your posts. They are always articulate, relevant, educated and yet balanced. How many years have you been following POET? I started investing at $.88 a few months ago. I see it as a high risk - high reward play so I have only invested amounts I am prepared to lose, hoping the reward will come. I am able to invest more, but I am hesitant before something more than third party conjecture is delivered. I think there are a lot of potential investors out there with similar thoughts (assuming 42% of the issued shares are still on the float). I am willing to invest more without having a Newton-like fruit-dropping announcement, but I repeat there needs to be more than just conjecture. News of progress on the prototype would be nice. As with the field of dreams, "build it and they will come." Completing the protoype makes the dream a reality. I want to invest more before the prototype is complete (I am ok with high risk/high reward), but only if I hear from POET that substantial progress is being made with the prototype. I am looking forward to hearing the January CC.
