Well, it looks like more and more of us are figuring out just how speculative and difficult it is to change the tech world.  Some excellent posts on the topic!

The theme of the last offering to the "sophisticated investors":  the desired tech is taking a lot longer to achieve than we thought, we're going to need some bridge money, but we'll make sure you're not at any risk in buying the units, and, with your warrants, you'll even end up having a shot at the big money if we succeed."

I'm very sure POET is trying their best, but if, indeed, the whole thing is still seen as possible, I have to join the camp that says someone with bigger money will have to step in. 

The share price continues to be evidence, although certainly not conclusive, of the state of affairs.
