RE: RE: RE: Short position reduced I have not seen any change in the share count so our theory that Pat A has flipped her options "does not hold water" (classic line from My Cousin Vinny). Unless Patty's job was to update the share count but I think that is the responsibility of the transfer agent? I sent an email to the invest address at Opel to give them a reminder that the new insider options have not been filed yet. Again I don't know whether that was something Patty looked after.
Although the share price is disappointing you have to admit that when you look at the rest of the Venture, OPL is doing well. The Venture hit another multiyear low today. I think we are lucky that OPL is a very stock specific story and is not a resource company. I think we are slowly reaching critical mass here. I have always felt the most important aspect about being invested in Opel is the reality of what this technology is and what it can do. That is why I when down to check out the lab and talk with the POET team it is the technology value which will be recognized in the end. Everything ahead of that is a dance. The latest addition to the board who by any standard is a very knowledgeable industry person just re-enforces the belief that the technology has significant merit and will be embraced by the Silicon Valley investor community. The launch by Atomic has taken longer than I thought it would but one can envision that a lot of work has been involved. I really do believe that once it happens we will be very happy with the market response
