According to this, 73 institutions hold shares in it... close to 10% of the company.

even with small holdings for most of them, the fact that 73 have bought into a company that's further from commercialization than we are will just mean that a bunch more will be taking a position in POET when whatever decision-switch gets finally thrown in our favor. I'd also bet lots of these institutional holders in LWLG are just following the bigger boys in their ownership, so there's a sheep factor too.
