"I hate to say it Baba but I think you missed my point?"

FJ, I think I've understood your points over many years; I believe you miss mine more often than I yours!

"As we all know the POET GaAs platform never even made it to first base as far as commercial viability. But the same cannot be said about the optical interposer platform where actual products are being built and paid for by leading global companies."

I agree we're further along than ever before.  But I still say the share price/volume tells me success as perceived by the market is not just around the corner.  I had an order in all day for about 5,000 shares at US $.195, and got filled on about half of that.  I was pleased no one jumped to sell me the full amount for that price.

I'm thinking that the companies we've sold to and may sell to have agreed or will agree not to make a hostile bid for us, so that should prevent a cheap takeout from one of them, and they would have front row seats on determining how well our product works.  Now if word leaks to another company with a few bucks, absolutely a cheap hostile bid could arise, and my hope would be that one of our contractees would by then have figured it would be a good idea to up the ante.
