Even the long term investors can agree that every penny matters in between now and the time when we receive news naming names, and providing numbers and orders. Ideally we will have enough fire power to be in a spot to dictate a lower ratio of a split. 

One would hope that management would never consider the split and uplist at a time like this and preferably after a few news releases.

Eg, "Super Photonics begins mass production for X, Y, Z customers for GG million orders over T years"

"Insider buying X million shares to match shares bought by Y fund"

"POET excited to be working with largest data centre in US"
