Rumors?  My, there have been many, many rumors surrounding POET for at least, what, half dozen years?  How many have turned out to be accurate. 

People tend to marry rumors to upcoming conferences, which is not smart.  Conferences are often planned months in advance, so they really have no connection to rumors other than coincidence. 

The bid/ask situation in POETF (US market) kind of sucks, so although I would have considered selling a small portion this morning, it just doesn't make sense by the time you get screwed on your sale price and on the eventual repurchase. 

The late sell off just tells me a few day traders bailed and the "big news" whatever exactly that may be, was not within the four corners of the presentation, or if it was, it was not interpreted as that.

We're on a good trail, but without truly big news, were just not going to get the week over week over week of inreased share price that many of us have been waiting on for what seems decades, but is only a few years.
