OK Thanks.
Good points. But who is the company you were referring to?
I can understand the reason that a theoretical one man operation would employ secrecy as he grew his theoretical company, but I see no reason why the name of that company, and the name of the product or service, was omitted from the story. Until those facts are revealed, the story is little more than an inspirational sermon... otherwise known as a pump.
Thank you jr. Great find and correlation. It can’t be just a coincidence!
Once we see revenues attributed to new licensing fees and royalties, the days of “cheap shares” will be forever behind us... even if the numbers are not spectacular, because such sources of revenues will indicate that the business model set up by Lugee has finally started to bear fruit.
Exactly. That’s the way I see it as well.
When I saw all those cup and handles a few weeks ago, I was sure that my cup would soon runneth over. But it looks like LQMT will receive no pennants in the short term. Nevertheless, our time is getting close: closer than it’s ever been before. There are simply too many niche applications for BMGs in current use not to have these wonder metals catch on in dozens of other applications. And with the organization that Prof. Li has developed, it’s inevitable that business will start flowing our way.
Correction: $lqmt $1.57 with news
$lqmt $.1572 with news
I can narrow it down a little. The move will begin somewhere between March and the end of December. Hang in there, buddy.
Closing above $1.20 by year’s end.
A good indicator of what is going on at LQMT will be found in the up coming annual report. When Steipp was CEO, annual bonuses and stock options were routine. But one of Lugee’s first edicts was that extra compensation would be based solely on performance. If Bromage and Van are awarded bonuses and/or stock options, this year is likely to be a winner. Key into that in the next 10-K. It will be a window into what we can expect in 2021.
Only it’s not wash, rinse, repeat at the company level, and that’s where it counts. Anyone who doesn’t see the progress made over the past several years simply does want to see it. There are things that can be legitimately criticized (such as Lugee’s silence). But to view and criticize LQMT as being the same old company it always was is ludicrous.
I’m right there with you.
I think you’re on to something (as usual). Two thumbs up.
Thanks, Joshuaeyu. Great information. (Now... if I could only figure out its relevance to LQMT.)
A lot of work has gone into trying to connect the dots, but the only proof that business will pick up this year is via the announcement of contracts or the posting of revenues. Contracts do not have to be announced, but revenues must be reported. They can't be hidden regardless of NDAs.
If there is so much business "in he wings," as some are posting, we will find out about it one way or another. In the meantime, following breadcrumbs and speculating on where they lead is fun. But I'll wait for concrete evidence before I put my deposit down on a yacht.
Every investor in LQMT knows The Great Pumpkin is real. They are less certain about the reality of major contracts on the horizon.
LOL. Thanks.
Good info. Now I know why I stocked up on LQMT. The devil made me do it. Thank goodness it was not my own decision.
People are buying shares in companies solely on the basis of potential, rather than revenues, when they understand what it is that the company is trying to sell, and understands the potential market of said companies. LQMT's product is a hard sell to materials engineers. It's a much harder sell to the general investing crowd.
Members of this message board are incredibly well versed on the technological benefits of amorphous metals. We understand the product, so we can envision its market potential. But we are a small, select group. It's a mistake to think that the general public is ignoring LQMT's potential because they don't like the technology. They don't understand it, even if they've heard about it. That's why it will take either big jump up in revenues, or the announcement of a contract from a marquee company, to get this stock moving up in high gear.
Keeping in mind that all people act out of self interest, try putting yourself in Li’s shoes. Compare your goals with his. We dream of riches based on our measly holdings in LQMT. Yes. Measly... compared to Li’s 415 MILLION shares. If this stock gets re-listed on the NASDAQ (a stated goal of Lugee’s) some of us will walk away with several hundred thousands of dollars. Others with a few millions of dollars. But Lugee will have gained 1.6 BILLION dollars.
Our dreams are small compared to his. If we have paper losses and FOMO, imagine how Li feels.
$1.6 Billion. And it will go up from there. That’s one heck of an incentive to get this stock re-listed. Think about that the next time questions arise about the PLA and who gets what in terms of sales and royalties, or where, exactly, does LQMT fit into the maze.
There is no need to over-think the mechanics. Lugee is smarter than most of us, but as a human, he has the same motivations we do. Keep it simple. Keep your eyes on the prize, just like Lugee is doing.
Pay, what do you mean by “As we?”
The question is, does one really have to understand the details of the chart? I would argue, No. It’s enough to understand that LQMT is part of a network of companies centered on the commercialization of amorphous metals. The key word is Gestalt. The whole is greater than the sum of its individual parts.
True that.
It's different strokes for different folks. Each route has its own validity and its own foibles.

Lowering the cost of BMGs. Thank's Lugee. -- As per the recent paper brought to our attention by Games:
Thanks, Jay. Good stuff.
You are 100% correct. No news = no new rally. Price will fluctuate a bit but on a downward course. We have we seen this pattern many times before. The difference is that each rally, based on news, will be bigger than the one before it.
Once revenues from contracts become additive, and/or once we see a BIG contract, we will be home free. That's when TA will have meaning. Until then... not so much.
LOL. If they decided to let LQMT ”die on the vine,” they would not have allowed LQMT to get the Zyris contract. One does not kill off a company by providing it with revenues.
Your well reasoned enthusiasm keeps me centered and thinking clearly. (The case of fine whiskey you sent me also helps!)
After being trapped in a tunnel for 20 years, the light we see is indeed a most welcome sight. We are all confident that the light is not an oncoming train, but until we get contracts yielding annual revenues in the several millions of dollars, we will remain in the tunnel for an unknown period of time. That’s my concern. For me, it’s never been a matter of IF, but WHEN.
Many are confident those contracts are coming very soon. I’m confident they are coming... but how soon (how much longer we remain in the allegorical tunnel) remains to be seen.
Thank you, J-man. You are a valuable resource. No disrespect intended, but I would prefer one BIG contract over a 1,000 Maze Diagrams.
I'll get right on it.
We may be in for the perfect storm. With Price to Earnings ratios that are off the wall, the market has become a house of cards. It's likely to correct this year, or next at the latest. More stimulus money from government printing machines will inflate the market even more, further precipitating a crash.
A lot of people buy stocks for no other reason than the price keeps going up. (I'm not implying that is a bad reason to buy.) They don't have to know anything about a company. If the charts trend upwards, they're buying.
People fleeing companies whose stock prices plummet during a market correction will look to buy anything that still trends upwards. If the market correction occurs anywhere near the time that LQMT announces a contract with a major company, the synergy of a down trending market and the rising price in LQMT will have a multiplying effect on LQMT's stock price.
Just a nice dream, is all. But wouldn't that be nice....
Interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing.
How do you conclude that LQMT has bottomed? The chart you link to shows a very erratic stock in a decidedly downward trend, with lower bottoms in 2013 and 2016. If the trend is our friend, the chart is scary... to me. But I’m not good at TA.
I agree. That will be the question in the minds of many... but not for me. I never read BB’s blog in a way that would indicate new contracts will be forthcoming this quarter. Our timeline lacks the perspective held by Lugee... or by the likes of Bezos, the late Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Dell, and other innovative giants.
There is no doubt about it. I got into this investment way too early. But I’m not about to leave now. Not while things are soon to break lose. And by soon, I mean this year or next.
Meet you at the Liquidmetal Technologies Tavern in 20.
