An interesting note about "Did POET have a groundbreaking technology that was ready for commercialization at the end of 2016 and an established partner bankrolling the operation? That would be no."
Up until we saw "on hold" for GaAs on a slide during a presentation, many of us, myself included, did feel that the GaAs was groundbreaking technology, etc. It does feel like the OI is different, here's hoping for SP appreciation in 2022.
Good luck, and enjoy the holidays!!
