Well, Paulyboy, how much money did the company get from you? Zero if you bought your shares on the stock market...

In order to finance the growth of POET they need to get access to Insties with deep pockets that buy shares directly from the company. Those are "investors" from the companies viewpoint. We are merely betting on their success without having invested in the company, as long as we haven't participated in an IPO or any capital raises. So what do they owe us?

The only thing they need us for is to support the SP and to advertise for the company. Needless to stay some of us have been letting them down at least as much as they did to us.

In POETs case warrants & options are large parts of employee's remuneration packages. So don't forget, they are hurting their own wallets with any dilution. So whilst you seem to be aiming at a big slice of a small cake, they seem to be going for a decent slice of a much bigger cake. But they have to purchase the flour, the eggs etc. to create that bigger cake. So take it easy.
