Outahere - "Their terms of their investment in POET (shares and warrants, minimal holding periods, etc) provide them with a playground full of opportunities to make money even on minimal share price volatility. Up and down wins. Slow, steady and stable share price appreciation to them is not nearly as profitable as leverage and instability. No better environment to exploit than a company with no revenues to provide ballast."

This may be true, but it doesn't change the outlook/opportunity for those of us retail investors, it only creates short term anxiety as we watch the daily fluctuation of the sp and the drag on market cap.  All of this is, as you mention, is due to the fact that POET has no revenue and no credible forecasts.  This will change.  We know this.  So all we need to do is ignore the games and fluctuation in value and hold our investments until revenues begin coming in and deals are announced. 

The pennies made along the ride are pocket change compared to the return on investment for those who do thier dillligence, understand the 6-12 month opportunity, and stick to the plan.
