“Lumenge, when that day arrives where Poet is reporting triple digit percentage increases in net income, they will come, and they may, or may not be interested in understanding the business, but large percentage increases in net income is a universal language, and needs no explanation for investors to start flocking.  Poet's subject matter is dense, and difficult to digest so we may never make much headway in that direction, but triple digit percentages aid all manner of digestive ills.”

Intel (for example) has never had to depend on the general investor really understanding the technicalities of what they make because they got there first, and the money that is the bottom line of what most people care about was already there at the moment they went public. Sure, they got and continue to get plenty of patents, and there are technically-savvy people among the instutional investors who hold large positions, but those institutions never had to explain the technology to anyone, just the profit margins.

Something to ponder when considering the added difficulties of gaining market appreciation (in both senses of that word).
