Buy a 25c stock and get a 25c marketing person...
There is absolutely no way I'm sticking around past Q2 report if it doesn't have an improvement in revenue and at least a couple contracts in writing. Q1 better have something not completely sure what will satisfy me for Q1? But if we don't have something by Q2 that breaks at least 2 promises by both Li and Hauck. There is just two much opportunity I'm looking at, not going to leave significant investment cash in LQMT past Q2 without some really good news by then. Not waiting until 2019 I have already waited 12 years - today is the day for them to sell something, not tomorrow!
Anyone of those companies could have if they wanted to and that is a fact everyone here can take to the bank! Jack
If Apple was really all that excited about LQMT they would have bought the company by now and thrown it into their R&D department as a toy! They could have paid 10 times what Lugee paid and still not even have put a dent in their petty cash drawer. Sure 8 years ago Apple decided to throw LQMT a bone to keep them a float just in case
I still stand by my position that if LQMT has huge potential not far around the corner then PCP, ATI, VMI, (possibly Alcoa) the biggest 3 metal fab companies could have and would have bought LQMT and put it in their R&D departments.
Plus either of these 3 has way more resources and capital to work with than the one man show Lugee! Again Buffet bought PCP for 37.2 Billion over 3 years ago (that tells you the size of these guys). Either one of these companies could have the capacity built out in 6 months to build iPhone LM frames, plus Cook if he really plans to use LM, would be happy because "Made in the USA" could be stamped on the back, Trump would be happy because "Made in the USA" could be stamped on the back, and the customers who buy the iPhone would be happy because it extremely cool to buy "Made in the USA".
I'm still long and holding on LQMT but I starting to wonder about this huge potential stuff I keep reading here?
I guess my point is the 3 companies are named are the largest metal fabrication companies in north America if not the world according to one article on seeking alpha - so by definition they are probably smarter about metal fabrication than all the rest of us here? It seems to me that we all however see something they don't in LQMT? I mean if LQMT was really the next big savior of the world in metal fabrication it just seems like one of these guys would have taken notice back even before Li bought?
Here is what I don't get: with all the positive post and all the sure stuff about come LQMT way according to many on this board; There have been post this will be a $2 to $5 dollar stock in the near future once everyone figures out they can take there metal manufacturing from 17 steps to 1 or 2 steps. If LQMT has so much potential why hasn't PCP, ATI, or VMI purchased it - any one of these companies could have offered up to a billion dollars for LQMT with breaking a sweat! Shoot Warren Buffet bought PCP for 37.2 billion 3 years ago - don't tell me Buffet isn't interested in metal manufacturing.
Most "Phd professors" do not make good CEOs or employees for that matter. How many Phd Professor types can you name that are head of fortune 500 companies? I can name way more that CEO's that dropped out of college than anyone here can name that were past professors and Phd's. Including we can all name the at least 3 of the largest companies in the world by market capital today who's CEO's dropped out of college to start. I've worked with a number of employees that were Phd's and in general they were not good workers - maybe some are good in research departments. But when you want to get something done - they are not the ones you want to be chief or Indian. Philosopher yes, thinker yes, academic research yes.
I'm 100% behind you on that - the last quarterly report did not have enough total revenue on it to even pay for half of Huack's base salary!
Hauck is going on 5 years now it's time he do something to earn his 600K salary.
Nothing is going to change with the PPS of LQMT more than possibly a cent or two at best either way until there are actual verifiable contracts and real revenue. At least enough revenue to start paying the bills - not a few hundred thousand dollars of prototyping per quarter either - rather a few million dollars per quarter of actual production revenue, minimum.
All the hype of BMG and LQMT over the last 10 years has already been built in to the current share price there's is no more hype and speculation left to add to the PPS. From here on out we need really substantial news from the horses mouth if not by way of a PR then for sure by this Q report coming in the next few weeks.
Real investors in any company can go only so long on hype - LQMT has extended their time way past that mark!
LQMT a time to mourn, a time to weep ...
It seems to me that if someone here has been in a similar type of metal manufacturing there could be a ball park range out there for the size of plant at LF? I mean can it be said that LF could produce at most $100 million a year say at 50% margins for example?
Does anyone here have any idea what the maximum revenue could be for LQMT at the current LF plant assuming it had all the machines you could fit in that current building running 24/7 (if that possible?). I mean is there a approximate ball figure for this type of business?
Here is the scary thing about all this - the US cannot build a fighter jet without getting chips (Integrated Circuits) from China / Taiwan. The US does not have a single chip manufacturing plant that I'm aware of that can manufacture an IC from start to finish. I think Intel, Micron, Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, and some of the other big chip designers in the US need to figure out how to build a couple of chip manufacturing plants in the US - the Defense department should probably help fund the plants. It's not just fighter jets, battle ships, subs, missiles, I think just about everything related to defense requires chips of some sort.
According to the latest "Imprimis" from Hillsdale College a very well regarded think tank - if any company in the US wants something manufactured in China that company has to give them all the design blueprints and all the proprietary information for that item - everything required to design the item from scratch.

What! You mean "All our dreams really did go to China in a brief case?"
Well I haven't sold yet but was just trying to think of another way we might have fun until this "thing explodes..." (just to clarify when I say explodes I do mean in the upward direction). I guess if one were to mean in the other direction it would be "... implodes"? Did I get that right?
So guys what's the latest today - let me guess this baby is going to take off like a rocket any day now or the train is getting ready to leave the station anytime now. Hold onto your pants this thing is going to blow them off, this thing is getting ready to explode (up not down)! What other anytime now shenanigans am I missing over the last 2 years? Oh just wait until 2019 it's always the next year isn't it?
Hey maybe we should start a ihub LQMT office pool - over the next 6 months everyone gets to guess how many messages will be posted that start with - "this thing is going to .... " where ... is up, rocket, train, explode, etc. The person here that comes closest at the end of 6 months takes the office pool. That way at least someone here makes money
Maybe some penny stock but no LQMT since it's never fallen below .06 there impossible with LQMT. But if you know of one I can buy at .003 that will go to .243 let me know.
The only way it could have paid him .24 cents is if he bought all his shares for a cost basis of .003 per share. That therefore would be impossible!
Hope you are correct and I invested 12 years ago because of my own DD. I expect the big boys in equity research not to touch LQMT until it is on the NASDAQ and the price is north of $5. I would expect that Motley Fool and certainly more on Seeking Alpha in the current state however?
Dow Jones Industrial Average is now up 300 points and LQMT is now down 3/10 of a cent or 1.2% - if any of the stuff reported here was factual and well known LQMT should be up significantly and there would be lot's of reports from Goldman Sacks, Merrill Lynch, shoot even Motley Fool would have said something, and if all other the other analyst in the world of normal equity research failed - even Seeking Alpha would have something out in the last couple months?. What is the general market not seeing in LQMT that a majority of this board is seeing? Is everyone here smarter that the all the other analyst that spend 7/24 searching for the big deal everyone here says LQMT is?
Yep - exactly!
I'm committed to at least the next quarterly report in May and depending on what's on it - probably the next one in August. If there is not a steady healthy stream of revenue by August Q then I'm out. I've been in for 12 years by anyone's book that's the definition of "Long Term".
With all the potential as everyone here is currently stating why is LQMT in the red currently but the NASDAQ is up 21 points and the NYSE almost 220 at the time of this post? With all the saber rattling occurring on this board about LQMT one would think it would already be above a $1.00 and on it's way to $2.00
Or "Maybe all our dreams did go to China in a brief case..." --- ?
Question now that the Paul Hauck 90 day promise has expired what's next? Let's do a quick review what exactly was the Paul Hauck 90 day promise? Was there any substance to the 90 day promise or could it be just some more of the same I have heard over the last 12 years I have been invested in LQMT? Need serious help - I'm long LQMT but know longer know what that means to be long LQMT?
We need you rookie's here to keep us excited with this thing; those of us that have been in this LQMT thing way to long loose faith. We can always red shirt you rookie's and this thing will play next year when you are in the game. It's always next year with LQMT you'll figure that out in say a year from now.
Think of the economic impact - forget Hauck call Trump this is huge; Trump could sign an executive order that all baseball bats are to made of LQMT from this day forward? Would that get us a contract and revenue - what would are PPS be after the executive order?
Does anyone with any brains go around comparing baseball teams to high tech amorphous metals manufacturing - honestly. Wait maybe your on to something; how about LQMT bats for the major leagues, college, high school, junior high, recreation leagues. Hey, how many metal bats are manufactured each year? Somebody call Hauck this has huge potential we are talking serious revenue here in just well you guys fill in the blank ______ months!
Exactly - good grief Li has been at LQMT now almost 3 years and Hauck over 4 years. I worked for General Dynamics for 12 years and the Pentagon could place a an order for a nuclear submarine in 2.5 years. I really want to believe with LQMT it's just going to be a few more months but come on guys think back to all the hundreds of promises - Oh okay, but I know it's all different this time with Lugee and his 64 million, okay I'm still long maybe the Pentagon will place an order that requires millions of LM parts in that next nuclear sub - shouldn't be more that say approximately 2.5 years from now?
LONG LQMT - (why is that getting so hard to say with a straight face?)
Eagle your a genius I feel so much better about my investment in LQMT! I can't thank you enough!
I feel a lot better! Could you post a reminder of that like every other day. By the way I do all my own investing that way I have no one to blame but myself. I usually try a penny stock on the OTC BB once every few years or so. I have only hit big on one that technically wasn't a penny stock - OLED when I bought it was about 9 bucks over 10 to 11 years ago now and on the NASDAQ exchange. But most lay people had not heard of Organic Light Emitting Diodes 10 years ago so it was still cheap. I did a lot of research on LQMT read everything I could get my hands on. I'll wait out most of 2018 but certainly if there is nothing by 3 Q say August/September of 2018 I'll be out at whatever LQMT PPS is at that time. It will be time to put whatever invested money is left to work on a real company with revenue, profit, growth, and dividends.
How to make millions in Amorphous Metals - start with a billion! Maybe that's why Mr. Buffett doesn't own LQMT he already learned his lesson? We here will all soon know the next Q will set the stage. Of course if the next Q in May has really nothing more than the last Q most of those hanging out here will continued to say "Oh it's the next Q" just wait and see. I'm still holding - but the day is nigh the sell button on my near my LQMT shares is getting very tempting every one of my holdings was green at close but - you guessed it? Oh but "just wait till next week", right - do I have the story right? Please help me out here guys how long am I suppose to wait - please tell me one more time.
DMN - I really hope your right and certainly deep down inside I must believe the same as you an all the others here; I still have all my shares from when I first started purchasing LQMT in 2006 and have never sold one yet. My point of the post is the next phase in LQMT life is revenue - it can't be all the promises of the past but no verified results with is actual consistent and continuous revenue that pays the bills.
The fact is LQMT PPS isn't going anywhere until they have at least enough revenue to pay the bills. All the "talk" about patents, potential, medical, dental, aerospace, you name it, etc., etc... has been going on for the last 10 years at least. It's the always the same story a contract is just around the corner - what your seeing is LQMT market potential burnout that never happens (LMPB new acronym ) hence .24 cents plus or minus from here on out until real recurring revenue that pays the bills. Everyone in the real world of equities and everyone on this board and every one who has more than 100 bucks invested in LQMT is LMPB!
I realize I have come down hard on Hauck but I want everyone here to understand I'm all in for LQMT in 12 years I have never done anything but buy shares and have never sold a single share. I still believe in this company or I wouldn't have sizable investment in it and wouldn't be here at all wasting my time. So no matter what I say keep in mind that I'm still long LQMT no matter how frustrated I get. I will be the first person in line to shake Paul Hauck's hand when the share price goes past $1.00 and we get listed on the NASDAQ.
I'm willing to forgive all the reports in the past from Paul and Steipp about the 100's of RFQs and how out of those LQMT would hit on a few (that was a from Steipp/Hauck Q report and also on this board). Okay I can forgive those few that never materialized base the circumstances you pointed out. But now with his latest blog it's time, there are no more excuses available - and it doesn't have to be the 91st day either. As I said before there should be a verifiable contract on the next Q report, that gives Hauck at least 2 months beyond his last blog report that something would happen (maybe it's not a promise) but it is a statement that something would happen in the near future, no one can argue that it was not that at a minimum. That is all I'm saying there are no excuses left going forward at this point at least not for me - I've been an investor for 12 years now, read every Q/10K, every blog, every industry article, researched every board member, and every employee; there are no more excuses left for me - I'm waiting until 3rd Q report this year if there isn't enough revenue to pay at least the employee salaries I'm out! Maybe they should have produced the LQMT chess set - may have sold more of those than the "martin knife"?
It's not just this one blog post you quote that necessarily guarentees revenue producing contracts at the end of 90 days. To fully understand why everyone here is holding Hauck to this 90 day "promise" is an accumulation of all the statements in the many Q's and on the past website posts clear back to the days of the Steipp hire. It's all the talk of hundreds of RFQ's and "any day now" over more than 4 years of absolutely not one signed contract that even pays for a 4th of this salary. That is the "promise" everyone is hold his feet to the fire for the 90 days this is Paul Hauck's absolute last change he has until the end of next week to get a contract for real revenue that at least pays his salary. He should be fired if he doesn't - in no other company would be allowed to keep your job as head of sales if nothing was sold in over 4 years - name one!
I'm still not counting any chickens until they hatch I've been through this roller coaster of LQMT way to many times! However I will celebrate with everyone else once we break through .60 cents PPS territory then I will consider my eggs mostly hatched. At $1.00 or greater all eggs hatched. I think LQMT needs to be >= .50 cents by release of next quarterly at that price it starts attracting more mainstream equity attention and builds on that momentum from there on. To get to .50 or better we need solid revenue and 1 or 2 good contracts with verified revenue and solid margins (not 200 martin knives), a "real" order - to me that would be the fulfillment of Hauck's promise.
Oops forgot also 1009 - so 2018 is evenly divisible by 1,2,1009 and 2018 but I am still long LQMT for 2018 even if it isn't a prime. But by 3rd quarterly report they better have enough revenue to pay Hauck's salary and more.
