Everyone is rehashing their favorite mantras re Poet, certainly including me.
And, it's clear, Jack TB, that early on (around when you say you first got it), you disguised your market savvy. I'm just not into that stuff and at least mildly disapprove of your technique. I've never disguised my lack of tech knowledge, but always thought I had more market knowledge than most of the tech guys. Would be nice to have both, plus some real discipline. Not sure that anyone here fits that bill.
FJ, when it comes to your faith in POET, you are one with ice-water in your veins - how you can be comfortable with your POET holdings is remarkable, and I don't doubt your feelings as expressed! I remember a gas play near Bakersfield, CA (Canadian companies involved, East Lost Hills), with a giant blowout (that I coincidently happened to drive by a day after - wow, what a sight), and talk of TCF's and all, and it was only a matter of engineering - they couldn't get it done. So it does happen that engineers can fall short.
No news is not bad news; it's just no news. A rising share price would be a positive spin on no news, a declining share price the opposite.
