"It just seems odd to me when someone of Ajit`s stature and reputation "wows" investors or analysts,,why don`t they buy shares and invest in POET ??? I mean look at the people on this forum ,, we all got "wowed" for 60 million shares or so .. Maybe we are just real easy to "wow".. I don`t get it !! They put out a couple of commercials on TV a couple of years ago.. I assumed that was marketing themselves... and of course the road shows.."

This was stated in Feb. by Suresh..so he has redirected the company from the time of the commercials

On track for commercialization

04:30 –Suresh Venkatesan: We also have changed our business model from being a purely IP company, to one that would demonstrate the value of this integrated opto-electronics platform, and by building components and products. We have also said that our shareholders were soon gonna be impressed by this company’s bias for results.

And when Ajit stated:

"I think the market will catch up with us once we start reporting our financials at the end of this year."

on 5/17/16, the price was at approx..$1.35

A few mentions by Suresh to maybe help with temporary frustrations, different colored text is for my personal use:

Summary

01:05:55 – Suresh Venkatesan: We are, continue to be, and will continue to expand and become even more highly disruptive as an opto-electronic semiconductor technology provider.

01:06:47 –our goal over the next 30, 60, 90 days is to go worldwide and blitz a bunch of customers, talk about POET, talk about DenseLight, talk about our combined company, the advantages that they will have continuing to work with us.

01:07:42 – Product sales, anticipated NRE revenue in the next twelve months, we talked about that. And really what I am happy to say is for the first time, I want to announce to you guys: We do have a basic fundamental platform now for profitable revenue growth going forward, we’ve got products today that can grow, we’ve got applications that are growing, we’ve got new technology and new IP, that is going to continue to provide us differentiation in the future.
