"Ouch! Baba that Trump comment hurts"

Why? I was complimenting you on the speed with which you spun the NR into something good. Trump could use several like you, you've got talent that is in demand!

I have little doubt that you believe what you said. I don't doubt your bona fides. But I think sometimes one needs to look at what just happened and say, "this was not good."

That doesn't at all mean management sucks or is untrustworthy. I remain a fan of current management, and I do hope my earlier post about today's news items being a "cleansing" is correct, and that bad news is out of the way for a while. For all I know, POET's underwriter's insisted on this NR; the last thing they want to do is put a bunch of their clients into an offering at, say, .75, and have it steadily dwindle as the elements of today's releases are slowly paid out (using a sailing term here) over the next quarter or so.

I am always willing to be surprised on the upside, and would love to (and will, with apologies) retract the "this was not good" comment.

You likely won't read this till tomorrow morning, after you've had a good night's sleep. I'm hoping tomorrow will be better for us all.
