dash8400, let's assume a reverse split 1:10 happening at today's closing price in US$. The market cap stays the same and the share price goes to $10.10US. The amount of our outstanding shares drops by 90% and the company share float becomes around 32 million shares. Poet has disruptive technology capable of high margin in high growth markets, so the excitement for this stock should become huge. Nasdaq flyers typical race toward $100US. So a Poet holder today still holding in the future might see their wealth increase 10-fold. If it goes to $200 ($6.4 billion market cap), current long shareholders riding Poet up would see a 20-fold increase (assuming no further share dilution).

After landing on the Nasdaq, there might be opportunities for financings for US funds or other mega-billionaires wanting in. Poet in the past has stated to be open for acquisitions of others as well, so everything is on the table for a high-flyer wanting to become a leader in the photonic field. That name could dramatically influence Poet's market cap as well changing the ratio of market cap growth even higher. Assuming a financing after settling in on the Nasdaq, within a year or two, longs could be up about 15x assuming new dilution. As long as the market cap keeps ballooning the sharp rising share price should insulate us from any dilutions. Our stakes in the company will go down in size, but the value of our stake will be much higher because the market cap balloon with be larger.

The above numbers are hypothetical. I made them up according to the $200 figure mentioned in your thread.
