turr:  "the real catalyst will be that first contract that says "MONEY" in the bank. "

Amen to that, turr.

Just taking into account only the last 4 or 5 years it seems that a couple of patterns have emerged.  I would love to see some TA jockey chart this supposition so that I would know for sure whether my conjecture is just a WAG or whether it has some validity.

Suppositions:

1) Every time POET releases "Good News" the share price falls within 3 days of that release, 5 days at the outside.

2) Every time there is "REALLY Good News", the conjuncture with Mitsubishi as the latest example, the company announces a stock dilution within 3 days of the "REALLY Good News", 5 days at the outside.

A "Catalyst" would seem to be in order as a necessary component to break both the first supposition and the second supposition.

I recognize that major changes to the same old recipe are at work in regards to piloting POET's future to get into the stratosphere, but if I abandon the usual rocket ship anaolgy and replace it with reference to an airplane, POET hasn't left the taxiway, much less gotten to the beginning of the runway.  This time it appeared that POET had almost been cleared for takeoff but it seems that something always seems to come up on the taxiway and the Control Tower sends out a signal that results in the plane returning back to the loading area or to the plane losing its place in the que and having to start a few places further back in the line.

Why is it that when the plane finally gets out of the taxiway and onto the runway waiting for the "Clear to Take Off" signal from the Tower that the Pilot suddenly dumps half the fuel?  Dilution... again!  OK, I understand that dilution is one way to make sure there is enough USD to finance ramping up when those billions and billions of dollars on the line demand ramping up to customer demand, but gee WHIZ.  Why can't the Pilot let the passengers savor the "REALLY Big News" for more than a day or two before telling the passengers that the plane is heading back to the loading area for more fuel, eh?

Does anyone else see the pattern here or are my cataracts so bad that I can't see how far we have come at this moment in time up and off Runway 31R, better nown as "UP and To The RIGHT"?

I just want to have the satisfaction that the plane has finally made it into the air, even if it is only 10 feet above the runway.  Please, POET, the next time you dump the fuel and add another dilution of the stock could you at least wait until we are airborne?  Maybe 20 feet into the air with a USD of $20?  Waiting for the next dilution message until after we are airborn would have its own disappointment, but on the other hand it would allow me a buffer time to climb out of the dog house imposed by "the BOSS" and breathe some fresh air for a few moments before having to return to a shared accomodation with the dog.  Damn dog snores way too loud.  

Just sayin'
