STORMY WEATHERIt's hard to fault the company for the stock price fluctuations.
They have put forth positive news, confirmed solar contracts, a company best Q1, and maintain a debt free status.
A 3rd party valuation was assessed by Pellegrino & Associates, LLC
They placed the initial potential value of the POET technoogy at over $1.3 Billion.
There is no false inflation done by Opel. This qualified reputable 3rd party put forth a report supporting these numbers.
A validation was done by BAE Systems Electronic Solutions.
They confirmed the functionality of the POET technology and acknowledged its legitimacy.
Again, there is no false or misleading info by Opel. This qualified reputable 3rd party tested and confirmed the POET technology.
The company removed a board member for shorting stock.
They have maintained modest salaries when compared with industry standards.
They have released no misleading or false news or information.
If anything they have been conservative and tight lipped about their technology.
This could be their only fault thus far.
They do need to a good publicity campaign to fuel this industry leading technology when the time is right.
Hopefully that time will be sooner than later.
There is nothing to indicate that this won't occur.
This technology will either be bought out, sold, licensed, or slowly/quickly phased in to many electronic devices in the future.
It is a new technology and it does take the silicon lovers away from their ancient technology.
It is a difficult transition to make for those heavily vested in Silicon, but pending Silicon producing a faster, more efficient model, it is an inevitible transition.
All will take is one company to come on board and the rest will quickly follow or be left holding the bag with inferior technology. An underdog would jump at the chance to offer this to the world if one of the larger manufacturers decide to stick with Silicon. Then they will have to adopt it as well.
Something like this doesn't just happen overnight. Every car isn't a hybrid yet, even though they all should be.
It will take time and cost a lot of money to integrate, but it WILL happen.
Waiting isn't something people like to do when it comes to making money, but eventually this one has all indications that it will pay off.
People will be upset that they "could have bought in at a lower price than they did", which is disheartening, especially for those of us who have been holding for many months now. In the end, when it hit the multi-dollar levels, I don't think a .80 buyin versus a $1 buyin will really tear too many people up.
All investros will see return at some point.
Don't distress over losses or the current downward trend.
You haven't lost anything until you've sold, and if you can weather the storm, you should eventually reap the rewards.
This is a winner. We just have to wait for the draw date!
