Yes, I fully agree andech1, this is not related to tax loss selling. Everybody kowing POET will understand that a lot can happen within 30 days, so why saving some dollars tax and missing the rush? 

But - I am sure some people/institutions jumped off ship before or during the PO and now are coming back in a rush, as they understand that fundamental nothing changed with POET - at least not to the negative.

The question remains: why now?

I am assuming that there is no leak inside POET. But could there be other events, like planned presentations or ratings (of our new platinums), some PR actions from our new IR-service? Such things are often transpiring some days before. Or it was just a technical effect, the MA50... So let us see.

In any case it was quite clever to snap some shares at these dumping prices end of the year - even that we are already fully loaded.
