For whom?

The true-believers already have religion.

For some on the investor side, they're not sure when significant revenues will be earned by the company and future short-term financials are *somewhat* insecure. Is it any wonder why people freaked out ?

How about on the customer side?
Would POET be the only company you evaluated products from?
I'd be terrified to migrate all my current infrastructure tech to a big ???? about the stability of the company I was doing business with, unless it came with some pretty significant guarantees.
Right now, what are they?

Can't remember where it was from (maybe MadMen?) where the agency was hemmorhaging clients and losing money so they were cold calling clients to find work and one of them tells them something like "Hey, you know we love you. Call us in a year if you are still around".

I am not at all surprised if people are giving POET the side-eye.

(And before this gets flagged as "bashing" - don't sell your shares)
