Jack, another important aspect of all of this is that it is easy for investors to understand how a company can sell minerals or oil, and to some extent drugs, but not so much how semiconductors (new technology) are adopted by the industry.

There are also many companies that claim they have the next disruptive technology (many companies truly believe it and many are pure BS and hype). Most of them will fail, a few will not. I put POET in the latter group. The market generally can't tell all of these companies apart, and it is all words to them. Proof is what we need as mentioned many times before. The ultimate proof is market adoption by a big customer. The market will understand that.

Good luck with your patience!
