I understand where you are coming from, but I hesitate to put too much blame on the posters here for influential pumping.  Whatever thier motives, I for one, never put that much credence in what they said.  No, the responsibility lies with management. Just go back and read all the company NR's and Twitters since January and prepare to be mind blown considering where this is right now.   This information is what convinced me and I'm sure a lot of others to take a position. 

Also, making a lot of money trading POET was just not possible imo.  The average daily trades were too low.  Just not liquid enough, and spreads too wide, until recently, to make much as a trader.  Much better stocks for that imo. 

As far as good deals, grabbing some of the offering with warrants may be your chance (and mine)
