The thought that management would do something artificial to push the SP along appals me. Which is what the majority here seem to want as a quid pro quo for increasing the options pool.

Management's current confidence comes from their belief that they are doing all they can to preposition the new POET, through acquisitions, to broaden their products pipeline to target a market with vast potential for growth of stellar proportions.

Not only this but there is what's under the NDA cover that can explain, the as yet unexplained, financial rational to afford risking capital with a finite limit.

As yet. and the lack of debate confirms it, we have not fully grasped the implications of the aquisition or understood how the integration of POET with DenseLight and BB products will work. What's absolutely certain is that the work needed will cost significant amounts of money for the R&D.

Options might be the only way that work can be funded. I hope not as I firmly believe in an alternative source

My point is why hobble management's ability to manoeuvre this company for significant future profit on the basis of share holders understandable but misplaced desire for instant gratification "its our turn now'. This is shorterminism of the worse order.

Sorry but patience whilst unpopular is mandatory.
