Nortel's demise was on the alter of a saturated market.  Should the market saturate for photonic applications amenable to the technological windows now open via POET Technology products it wouldn't be something in the very near future.  Such a development, if possible, would take more than a few years to occur.  Plenty of time for POET investors to hop off the train with cash in their pockets, provided they could resist the siren call of "Excessive Profits". 

The definiton of "Excessive Profits" depends on who is doing the defining, eh?

Saturation not likely to occur in my time frame.  Yours?

Best wishes.
