I find it interesting that no one answered what I presumed was a simple question regarding what POET's commercial success might be based on. Again, is POET intending to be a manufacturer of chips, or are they just hoping to license through other established chip makers? Does the POET management even know the answer themselves? I have heard much positive support for POET from some of the forum members, while at the same time the share price sinks lower, steadily. I don't think that it is very difficult to imagine who is doing the selling. There have been numerous excuses as to why this is happening, but any sane person would stop hitting himself with a hammer when he first realizes that it hurts.  The sides of the road to commercial success is littered with casualties, some from honest but unsuccessful effort, and some from various levels of deception.
