Do tell. 

This area is foreign to me. The only thing that comes to mind is a NR which will require customer|partner approval first.  


Some I could think off to stop the bleeding:

1) Publicly name a minimum SP at which the ATM is tapped

2) when the SP rised in the past, management issued a official statement to the regulators that they would know what spurred the SP, why not doing it the opposite way and issue a shareholder letter confirming that there is nothing known or changes that would justify this decline?

3) honestly update the roadmap and confirm which potential customers are still with POET and still interested in products

4) follow up on any promised timelines and meet them and/or update the timeline honest and open instead of leaving the market in this guessing and waiting game (trust and reliability are very important things when it comes to money and investemts, loads of trust has been lost)

5) follow your words and put money where your mouth is, statements like:

- linings puts up in the green

- up and to the right

- waiting to invest would be a big mistake

- we should be a billion dollar company already

- position of strength

- ready for prime time

- investors are just waiting for us to be listed at the NAS

you name them. Don't do nothing if they are repeatedly changed with new phrases but not followed up with a clear path and/or actions as can clearly be seen. What was the rush to NAS?

I am sure that due to those statements many people did buy more shares, including me, that had naturally a shorter time line on that money and needed it back. So, they have to sell regardless which led the SP slide and keeps fueling that negative Perpetuum of SP decline. Some may have even borrowed money. I am happy that I didn't need to sell yet, but to be honest I invested money that I would have planned to have this summer, but it reduced by 50%. I am sure there are many in that camp. But compared to me, many of them might have been forced to sell to to needs. I am lucky that I only invest money that I can afford. 
But those statements don't bring nothing to a sustainable SP, if they don't come true. And that's again, leading to a big trust issue.

6) list on the TSX instead of the TSX.V, lose that image of Pink Sheets or OTC stocks. Why being on the NAS but still on the TSX.V? I never understood that

7) put the right people on the right chairs

8) implement tools to protect shareholders from a cheap buyout, this would reduce uncertainties 

9) last but not least (there are more for sure) follow your own advice as management does suggest to shareholders and investors - invest in your own company. I don't mean options, I mean shares. The insider ownership in many other stocks is way higher than it ever has been in POET. This again supports trust. 

All in all, do as you promise and regain trust, which is evidently lost, even by some hardcore longs and longterm shareholders. Not everyone is able to wait many years, especially not when one bought based on statements made under point 5) above.
