OK but when POET announced the time frame for the share consolidation and listing on February 22nd, the stock closed at $6.40.  There followed an incredible rise (71.8%) to the listing date as there was a scramble to get in as the "position of strength" was interpreted by many wags on this board and in other places to infer that orders were to be announced with the move to Nasdaq. When that didn't happen the slide began.  

You could as easily look at the undisturbed $6.40 price to today as the stock actually down 26%.  The Nasdaq Composite closed at 13,381 on February 22 and closed to day at 11783 for a loss of 11.9%.  Yes, we are still underperforming the Nasdaq composite, but if you are suggesting the possibility of some sort of manipulation, you have to look at the 72% rise in three weeks before the listing in a similar light I think.....
