Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

Good post and positive, but I find it also concerning. An entity that can test that many different alloys, that quickly, and to think, there is nothing certain at all about an alloy being discovered, that is truly gamechanging-that will belong to LQMT. I am back in and long(unless it pops on no earnings then I will sell again.) I am increasingly concerned that LQMT will not be the company to capitalize on a material that will change everything and in our lifetime.

In my industry, machinery manufacturing, I see the greatest real world application for this material in coatings(there are many others-but this could have been immediate in my opinion). There is more and more technology on equipment today including sensors, electrical connectors, etc that are subjected to corrosive environments. Many current applications(all) to prevent failures on equipment falls short. These applications take an expensive machine, with otherwise long lives, and turn them into throw away machines in 3-5 years. A coating of this machine on sensitive connectors, sensors(where possible) and other fittings would be unbelievable, extending the life of a machine two fold, or even three fold, which would make the additional cost of coatings viable.

I think I have read where this part of the business was given away. The rail gun, correct me if I'm wrong,is just a liquidmetal coating. The coatings would have been a great potential for near term income. I think Watts has posted on that in the past. I just saw this link today although it is older, but a good laymans explanation for the potential. A manager of a product line could watch this and see real world applications for it in their business.

I hope to see other applications arise. This was a missed opportunity if it no longer belongs to LQMT. Some believe that maybe Apple got the better part of that deal as well with CIP, but there was postive there for LQMT. It is high time we make a good deal to capture revenue on this technology, because it is coming,and I am not totally convinced that those revenues will flow to LQMT,....unless,,,maybe they are doing something we don't know about. As I have watched over the years, I tend to believe what many might perceive about a company that shares little information...They are either incredibly smart, or incredibly dumb. All shareholders therefore are in the same boat(including me) and only time will prove it out. Only reason I am back is because of Hauck. He is the first representation of a link between R&D and a real application. He will sell something.
