gordie:  "Well, I'm not a big believer in manipulation theories, but if someone is trying to soften me up for a low ball buyout offer it's starting to work!  After several years of holding if someone offered me a buck right now I'd be awfully tempted! 

Not meaning to sound negative I think Poet has made considerable progress but it just dosent seem to ever be reflected in the stock price, déjà vu all over again."

Gordie, it is just my own opinion about this and I am one of the least knolwedgeable investors here on the POET Hub, but I am convinced that no one outside of a relatively small and dedicated POET/POETF following really know or care about POET/POETF. 

Again, just an opinion, but I believe that the small and dedicated POET/POETF following here ( myself included ) way overestimates the size of the ripple that POET's stone has created on the surface of the market pool.  Somehow we have convinced ourselves that it is and should be a Tsunami, when in fact it isn't even a decent size wave to surf for a beginning surfer, much less something that would catch the attention of a veteran and champion surfer of the investment community.  Our eyes are bigger than our stomach, so to speak... at least at this point in time.  I don't believe we have a real appreciation for the lack of recognition that POET/POETF has in the world at large.

Before my comment gets condemned by 100 negative comments from the other members, I need to be certain that my remarks are taken as only referring to the level of recognition of POET. 

My comment is in no way intended to be dismissive of the remarkable progress that POET has made, especially recently with the "Super Photonics" ( Supermarket of Light) deal with Sanan I.C.   I remain extremely optimistic about the future for POET/POETF and I differ from you Gordie in that there is no way that $1 a share ( Canadian or USD ) is going to tempt me to sell my POETF shares.  None of us know what the share price will be a year from now, but in my opinion $1 a share would be like giving away shares for free when November 2021 arrives.
