While I believe that a successful awarding of this RFP to Poet would be very beneficial to the future development of this platform I get the sense that many on the board are viewing this event as having an immediate, profound and sustained impact on the SP. I for one would welcome this result but I can't help but think that awarding the RFP to Poet may only provide economic benefit years down the road and therefore the market and new investors may not give recognition until such time as there is revenue derived from the GaA platform.

while you may be right about this, there should be some sustained benefit to the share price due to an award that basically validates the technology and funds its final completion and production. The market cannot be purely punitive toward POET's past changes of course forever... and certainly there should be new money on the sidelines willing to buy in after such validation.
