WolfieEVP, I will try to answer this comment you countered dash8400 with: "Why would a deep thinker/planner like Suresh throw a RS into the mix so suddenly? If it's not a lifeboat, what is it? Sorry, I'm using your post to air my thoughts." 

In my opinion management has already told us twice that certain institutions, because of their client base and rules, would not include any company that is not $xx minimum on the Nasdaq for their portfolio. Think about that. Certain funds offer their clients different risk profiles. In order for a fund to qualify Poet for coverage and investment, a certain minimum price needs to be met. Now, if Poet can reach that before any R/S that would be great!!! But with the speed of the market, and Poet's potential large customers that move at warp speed, capital may be needed to stay ahead of the curve to ensure Poet is viewed favorably by the industry. Besides, certain US investment firms, likely most of them, are bound to invest in growth stocks or potential growth stocks that are de-risked. For sure, all investing is speculation on the future, but many of these companies have risk profiles that attract certain kinds of investors. So Poet needs to check off as many boxes as needed to join the club. The R/S is one of the tools to move things along if it is needed or there is 'no option' in terms of who decides to invest in Poet once on the Nasdaq.

Once on the Nasdaq, or announcing themselves enroute to the Nasdaq, Poet would need to come up with a good reason why any large institution should bring thier deep-pocketed investors to them. We know Poet has something disruptive and they have a sound business plan, so whatever happens next is a positive step for all of us in Poet's evolution.
