Well, that would probably account for the sudden burst in volume. The series of recent NRs, themselves, would increase volume, but rumours do magnify volume. I get a feeling that this rumour, whomever it may relate to, might probably be true for the simple reason - POET is ready to do it (in the InP sector anyway). Perhaps, it might be why R&R was able to put a $2.00 US target price on our stock? The R&R conference might just bring something out of the woodwork.
