FJ: "Now as per the Luxshare-TECH linkedin reference to POET products being used for LiDAR I think they have made a very significant reference (spilled the beans) on something POET has been actively working on."
If so, this is my guess (and, if so, thank you Dr. Michal Lipson): https://voyantphotonics.com/news/642/
Blue achieves its exceptional performance and affordability by integrating optics on a LiDAR photonic integrated circuit (PIC). This highly integrated semiconductor chip contains thousands of optical and electrical components, including solid-state beam steering. “Voyant is unique in perfecting highly integrated photonic chips for LiDAR. In comparison, everyone else is still using vacuum tubes, not integrated circuits,“ said co-founder Dr. Steven Miller.
"What amazes me is the length of time it takes for the designing of the chiplets , the alpha, beta, then release to production stages to take place."
The telecom industry is one of, if not the most, conservative industries there is...especially with unproven products or vendors which require lengthy qualification. However once that is done, they are also very sticky in time.

Have any of you actually checked out the following using your phone? I looked on my Android and am not impressed. bSafe Mobile wants access to virtually everything on my phone. FleetSafer has only 1000 downloads and several comments say it is a virus (although Lookout said it was OK). Golf Gambler and bFound Mobile do not appear at all. This sniff test raises some flags IMHO but would be interested in any comments.

Bad news!
PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Sequans Communications S.A. ( SQNS) announced that it has revised its guidance for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017, as follows:
Revised Guidance
Previous Guidance
Revenue $11.0 - $11.2 million $15 – $17 million
Gross margin >43% > 40%
Non-IFRS net loss per diluted share/ADS ($0.06) – ($0.07) ($0.05) – ($0.07)
Guidance is based on approximately 79.8 million weighted average number of diluted shares/ADSs .
As previously announced, the company will release its full results for the third quarter on October 31, 2017.
Factors contributing to the company’s revised expectations for Q3 include greater-than-expected weakness from emerging markets for broadband-related products, changes in customers’ forecasts due to excess channel inventory for broadband products in the United States, and a delay in concluding the terms of a project related to a vertical market. Although it expects the weakness in the broadband-related portion of the business to persist at least through the balance of 2017, Sequans continues to expect significant growth in 2018 driven by its technology leadership and first-mover position in the IoT market.
“We believe the long-term growth drivers of our business, particularly for IoT, remain in place despite these near-term headwinds,” said Georges Karam, CEO of Sequans. “Cat M1/NB1 is moving rapidly with design wins addressing a growing list of carriers world-wide. We had initial shipments of Cat M1 chips in Q3, although we thought Cat M1 would not begin ramping before Q4 at the earliest. Regarding the broadband portion of the business, we expect no fundamental change in the dynamics of this portion of the business, despite Q3 softness and our near-term caution. On balance, we believe the intermediate to long-term prospects for the company remain excellent, and we are simply experiencing some of the issues that are characteristic of our current market.”
Update Conference Call and Webcast on Wednesday, October 4, 2017
Sequans plans to conduct a teleconference and live webcast to discuss the revised outlook tomorrow, October 4, at 8:00 a.m. EDT /14:00 CEST. To participate in the live call, analysts and investors should dial 800-230-1085 (or +1 612-234-9959 if outside the U.S.). A live and archived webcast of the call will be available from the Investors section of the Sequans website at www.sequans.com/investors/. A replay of the conference call will be available until October 30 by dialing toll free 800-475-6701 in the U.S., or +1 320-365-3844 from outside the U.S., using the following access code: 431414.

Referenced in a Twitter post from @Sequans:
KT, Samsung pursue NB-IoT pilot
While Verizon is busy selling Internet of Things (IoT) services based on its newly rolled out nationwide LTE Category M1 technology and AT&T is not far behind, South Korean mobile operator KT and Samsung Electronics are launching a pilot Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT, CAT-NB1) service targeting friendly users in Seoul and the surrounding metro area.
The Korean trial is to last for two months, with the goal of extending diverse service models and coverage in the near future.
KT and Samsung say the NB-IoT technology is designed to meet the demands for use cases that require low throughput and battery use owing to its main feature, the narrow bandwidth of 180 KHz. With its low-power consumption and cost-effective devices, NB-IoT is applicable to diverse service models for individual and industry automation, such as utility metering, smart factory, cargo tracking and location tracking of children and goods.
Back in February 2017, Samsung and KT signed the supply contract for NB-IoT solutions, and two months later, the companies are now announcing their readiness to start pilot service, which, they say, indicates the proximity of commercial service.
One of the key elements included in the contract was Samsung’s virtualized core solution for Cellular IoT (C-GSN). As the demand for IoT services continues to grow, the current LTE network needs to accommodate large amounts of connectivity generated from the ever-growing number of IoT devices. Samsung says its C-GSN provides scalability, flexibility, cost-effectiveness and easy operation compared to other legacy core systems.
Yet even though operators in Asia and Europe appear to be mostly starting with Cat NB1, that doesn’t mean they’re not interested in Category M1. At Mobile World Congress 2017, nine operators—including Verizon and AT&T—confirmed their support for the global deployment of LTE-M. The other operators include KPN in the Netherlands, KDDI and NTT DoCoMo in Japan, Orange (in 29 countries), Telefonica in Europe, Telstra in Australia and Telus in Canada.
The supporting operators are pursuing several activities, including pilots, IoT Open Labs and launches of starter kits to support and accelerate the ecosystem of modules and objects.
Cat M1, which is also called LTE-M, and Cat NB1, also known as NB-IoT, are both part of the 3GPP Release 13 standard, but they’re two different categories of service, explains Kimberly Tassin, a spokesperson at chipset supplier Sequans Communications, which delves into the technologies here.
They’re both “narrowband” technologies: Cat M1 has 1.4 MHz channels and Cat NB1 has 200 kHz channels. Cat M1 has about 300 Kbps of throughput and Cat NB1 delivers throughput in just the 10s of Kbps (like one-tenth of Cat M1). They both serve IoT, but different use cases. Cat M1 is for those apps that need the higher throughput, like maybe wearables and smart meters, and Cat NB1 is for tiny apps like sensors and trackers, she said.
Sequans’ Monarch chip supports both of these LTE profiles. “We believe (and it appears to be so) that most carriers will eventually deploy both technologies," Tassin said.

Do You Know Where Your $2 Trillion Has Gone?
For general information I checked up on doing a Canadian trade via eTrade. Here are the two situations:
US transaction: USD $5 market or $10 limit orders (I always use limit orders in thinly traded stocks like these)
Canadian transaction: CAD $19.99 limit order plus ~1% currency translation fee (USD/CAD = 1.0843).
Bottom line: Cheaper to use US transactions, but must be both careful (limit orders only) and patient in these very thinly traded stocks.
BTW I also discovered it's very easy to shift from US dollars to other currencies for ~1% fee over market rates. With the way the dollar is going this is a reasonable way to diversify into other currencies!
USD/CAD = 1.0843 CAD
EUR/USD = 1.4302 EUR
GBP/USD = 1.6290 GBP
USD/HKD = 7.6744 HKD
USD/JPY = 94.44 JPY
Any thoughts about where the Gold/Silver ratio is heading?
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$gold:$silver&p=D&b=5&g=0&id=0
Wondering when it may be timely to switch from SLV to GLD?
Yes...one of the danger of thinly traded issues like MMG...but it may also work to your advantage someday.
While on this subject, aren't some of the Canadian stocks like ECUXF and KOOYF traded at much higher volumes on the TSE? I really don't like to trade stocks that have such low volumes as these have on US exchanges!
EDIT: I just checked and ECUXF has 457,920 shares traded versus 40,260 here. I have a Global account at eTrade and can switch funds from USD to CDN so that may be a better way to trade but I need to compare the commission rates.
Any idea what's driving MMG down today?

It's seamless...I did that this year after TT raised their price ~50%.

"the equivalent of buying a stock based on analyst's recommendations."
If you want to believe that, it's your choice...but the consequences are far more than simply losing money, which will be worthless when you die. Making up one's own religion is directly against God's first commandment written in stone, given to Moses twice some 3500 years ago, carried in the Ark of the Covenant and carefully preserved by Jewish scribes over the many centuries since then. Ignore it at your own peril.
You seem so certain...have you ever considered the consequences if you're wrong? One microsecond after you die it will be too late to do anything about it.
OT to mlsoft only:
I couldn't help but think you when we read this in our Sunday School class yesterday:
(Jesus said): "God blesses you when you are mocked and persecuted and lied about because you are my followers. Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted, too." Matthew 5:11-12 (New Living Translation)
So many of the Bible's prophecies seem to be coming true in these troubled times.
Blessings!

Nice to see you again...I quit following the Zeev Politics board because of all the vitriol there. I tried to reply to you on the Crucible board but IH doesn't let freeloaders like me post there...and of course I can't post a private reply either. Regarding your response to wall_rus below:
>The point Jesus is making is that so many professing Christians have fooled themselves into thinking they are true Christians, "saved" by trusting in their work as pastors, elders, deacons, or workers in the church, or through relying on various rites such as Baptism or the Lord's Supper, or trusting in their denomination, or that their "good deeds" outweighed their bad ones, or just in the fact that they attended church every Sunday.
As always you're absolutely on target. Unfortunately many churches now practice "feel good" junk religion rather than truth from the Bible. Have you seen the movie Time Changer? I thought it was an excellent example of what happens when Christian churches move to a world of no absolutes and become no different than the many faux religions that abound today.
God bless you for your patient perseverant responses here on iHub...you have no idea how many lives you may be saving.
Anyone here know what happened to Justa?
You can keep your old email address with gmail. I've used the same address with Eurora for years. It was easy to switch to gmail with the old address as an alias (although it was an "email for life" address via my college).
>On Oct 15th, I wrote a check to the
US Treasury for $288,000 for quarterly taxes.
Nice letter Boss...but quarterly taxes are due September 15th...not October 15th. (For your next version)
Gmail without a doubt. Excellent SPAM filter, anti-virus scanner, fake site notification, archiving (7.4 GB worth) of both messages and attched files, etc.
This makes reading email from multiple computers a breeze and you don't need to worry about a HD crash wiping out your email archives.
Thanks Jim! I believe there's a correlation between Gold and the strength of the dollar but I can't remember which way it goes. Will do some research and see if I can find which direction the correlation is.
Any technical thoughts near term on the $/Euro? I have a tender offer on an ADR in Euros due mid-February and need to decide whether to sell on the open market before then or wait for the offer to execute. The Euro has gained a little in the past few days but will it continue?
