Clifford, while I understand the anxiety as we all wait for the next big development, I don't feel that POET is in "limbo". I also don't think it's reasonable for us to expect big news every week.
I do think that POET should have released a statement after the conference in China. Even if there were no substantive meetings (which I doubt), a pr at least gets the POET name out there and demonstrates that the company is active. However, I don't believe it's presumptuous to speculate that POET was extremely active at the conference and they have their hands full following up on discussions and plans with current and new partners/customers.
Looking back at the sp chart, POET was sitting at 93 cents usd on Jan 1. Funding and pr resulted in a big jump around the third week of April, then about the third week of June, then about the third week of September. Today we are at roughly $4 usd. That's pretty good. If we follow the same pattern, we should expect another big jump before the end of the year. And, any new development has the potential of creating a rocket-like launch in sp.
IMHO.
