This is an excellent point. Why couldn't they just ride the momentum, and wait for this until June? It's only another 4 months.
Why? Because something's up. There is nothing stopping another exciting announcement regarding a new vertical market entry. Everyone one this board was congratulating Suresh up and down for saving the company. Now we suddenly turn and say "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING KILLING OUR SHORT TERM RALLY!!!"
If I told you that one year from today, POET would be trading on the TSX and NASDAQ at $6-9 dollars a share, you would bite my hand off the same way you would if the SP was $2 on the vulture today.
AND, you would own the exact same amount of dollars. Institutional money is what can drive big gaps up as the various levels of money jump in.
