Fairchij: … unfortunate that many would feel that they do not care about shareholders and are only interested in options.

Well, those who are thinking that way should also be aware that being interested in options, only makes sense if you can execute these options at a share price that is (considerably) higher than the strike price. I mean, this is the essence of this options thing anyway: Management receives options, but can benefit only if the share price goes northward, which should stimulate them to make that happen. Believe me, POET management knows that! ;-)

Fairchij: Our first and most fundamental priority should be their success to build this company into a leader.

Absolutely! Make the company a leader and the share price will follow.
