What’s all this noise? Can’t anyone get some sleep around here? My goodness all this clamoring over $700 thousand dollars of dilution or a decrease in the market cap, for a equity trending down.
One would think LQMT hit the lottery or beached a whale.
Its not like there was news about a potential deal being made to reverse the trend. Share dilution of any kind that is not used to help sell a product as far as one can tell, does not stabilize a equity nor move the pps up.
It generally has the opposite effect. Now rumors of deals and or agreements to bring in revenues does.
Most of them only received $33.6 thousand and its not fully vested. I wish they all got 4 million shares. Then we could all speculate on a real deal being imminent.
When the power upgrade is complete and LQMT is fulfilling their own deals, then the pps will rocket up. But until LQMT can show all of us the money to reverse the trend or until revenues increase to stabilize the SP or outsiders buy in. Its back to sleep.
Good night and I hope everyone and their families may have a blessed Thanksgiving holiday.
While weeks go by and LQMT prepares for production. Many posters here seem to be perplexed with hypothetical sales, revenues and profits. Also many are thinking of adding as the SP trend continues it’s trend to tic lower. This averaging down may in fact bring a gain or break even SP to the investor should LQMT experience a hiccup in the SP. The risks are the same, but the percentage to increase ones value appears to be more attainable even though LQMT may or may not increase sales in the next quarter.
So here are 2 sites to visit to add to the cost of operations.
LQMT has requested 4000a service. Although they have not disclosed whether they would be using 1, 2, 3, or 4 phase voltage, let’s assume that they do have smarts and will be using at least 3 phase or 4 phase voltage to cut down on the costs to run their equipment for their electric bill.
https://www.electricitylocal.com/states/california/lake-forest/
https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/design/tools/calculators/general-engineering/energy-cost.cfm
There are other sites too you can use to calculate costs.
So after you run the hypothetical numbers over and over. LQMT is going to have one heck of a added operational cost even if the use just 2000amps at 360 volts or 480 volts .
So why am I writing all of this gibberish above you ask? Well, because if a company is planning on spending hundreds of thousands or even a million on electricity, they must really be preparing for actual expectations of contracts for prototypes and parts and production to at least meet those added costs.
Good luck to all
Most micro BB’s don’t fall into most reputable category
Andyd33, the downward trend is being driven by the lack of performance and performance of operating LQMT. Hence a decreasing interest. The few shares sold each day can easily be reversed. The mms tend to play hot potato with this one because right now they have to.
The drought of news, the drought of increased revenues are real. The downward trend continues not as a result of more negativity in opinions but on actual performance.
All of this can easily be reversed in a few days, since the share volume is so little
Good luck to you.
CIMA7, So far B.B. appears to be trying. But unfortunately he has a lot of baggage stuck to him from his very close friend PH. They go back way before LQMT. So far everything he has stated since last spring has come through.
All of the outside potential buyers are just waiting for one of the coals to catch fire. They do not care about words or rumors. These are some of my friends with very deep pockets who warned me not to buy and to sell many times. They buy on momentum of sales and stay away from the pennies. I do the same but LQMT for some crazy reason beyond my better judgment caught my eye when I was young and dumb. Now old and stupid.
I do have an exit strategy and will sell half next month. Will be picking up shares in TNDM a company we made gains in before and looks like it can generate more next year.
Good luck to you and all in LQMT.
Handsomehank, of course it would. But the dilution would only be added to our pockets if exercised and at a time when each shareholder thought it would benefit them individually. After all there is a view here that LQMT is about to explode within a year, right? And if they are wrong as has been the case for many many years now. Who would exercise the warrants at a loss?
On the other hand share dilution if exercised for a profit will always look better in your pockets and not the executives pockets as has been the case since LQMT’s existence.
But seriously, I think all here would rather have honest transparency and honest guidance instead of the PH repetitive future PH outlook. And the warrants as option 2.
Good luck to you
That all will depend on whose doing the selling. LQMT or shareholders. :)
What! Your faith in LQMT is wavering? How about they issue a warrant to all outside shareholders beginning 01/01/2019, with a right to purchase up to 50,000 shares @ .15 expiring May 1, 2020.
Now that might make many happy and at the same time bring everyone on the same page as to their opinions of LQMT’s success or failure.
Over the years long term shareholders have come up with more excuses for the failures of LQMT’s abilities to succeed then children telling their parents why they don’t feel like going to school on a Friday to take an exam.
We tell ourselves next quarter, next year with sound anticipations and sound expectations all based on sound theories and hope, but not always on sound reasoning. We come up with more reasons for why LQMT should be successful then actually exist year after year.
There does appear to be a good reason to hold onto some or all of one’s LQMT position this year. But that reason appears to be based on LQMT finding a fix for their inability to manufacture in bulk. Add to this that LQMT now has more coals to put into the fire than they ever had before.
Will they ever be able to burn those coals remains to be the problem for them and us. Those coals are what all are perceiving as expectations and anticipations coupled with hope.
The hope may be wavering and for good sound factual reasoning, (at least 18 years of failures). But the reasons for hanging in are based on the coals LQMT has accumulated over the years, ( potential pipeline),
And their possibility of being set on fire and transformed into revenues and success. Theories and expectations yet to be achieved.
All believe the EON/Li investment has a positive purpose for LQMT. So far all are still waiting and many are doubtful due to impatience and LQMT’s existing problems left unresolved.
A buyback without increasing revenues would only be a hiccup in SP and burn cash needed to grow. Warrants would be nice. Transparency and Guidance for success would be nicer.
Good luck to you.
Once again another week goes by and imho, the future looks no brighter nor dimmer for this equity, then it did the week before. Why is that Researchfyi, did they not have a better 10q than the last one? Do they not have a new partner to outsource production? I’m glad everyone asked.
Sales reported are not from any long term contracts. Royalties reported are often historically absent and cannot be counted on, on a quarterly basis and they made up a huge portion of their reported revenue. The company also has no history of reporting quarterly growth. And as one very intelligent poster here recently noted. The poster cannot recall the last time LQMT had a 250k quarterly revenue report. We are talking a long, long, long time ago. A time when perhaps some here may not have had the need for eye glasses or hearing aids.
No new revenue from any reoccurring contract that would have a serious impact on revenue was ever discussed in the present 10Q! Thus no PR was ever released. Thus absolutely no income having a positive impact from the quarterly revenues was announced! Meaning no guarantee of future sales let alone growth!
Furthermore, the market cap of $125 million has not changed from 2012! The pps was about the same then as it is today, 6 years later. So, although the cash on hand is comforting it has not generated the kind of return all have anticipated.
All believed and still do that the new ceo and China resources would have produced increased revenues sooner plus new contracts. No one here expected silence from the ceo, a lack of transparency and continued failure from the executives here (well maybe some did).
2 years after (2010) the perpetual CE sellout for $20 million to prevent a total meltdown the market cap was $125 million.
And now even with added share dilution and another sellout for it’s IP for $64 million in 2016 to avoid another meltdown, Imho, LQMT is not any closer to long term contracts or increasing quarterly revenues. Even with the $64 million, the new ceo, the help from EON and a new partner referred to by B.B. the market cap is still $125 million.
It’s not that LQMT is not in a better place then it was six years ago. It is. Its just that the investors who were once interested in LQMT ‘s story, no longer are. They are no longer buying into the fairytale. Hence low trade volume and an anemic SP of .14.
Why do we need new investors? Because the existing ones, meaning us, who bought into the fairytale story, no longer have the capacity to drive the pps up. All inside and outside want proof.
Without actual long term contracts there can be no guidance! Just more of the same hope and expectations as Bruce stated in his recent PR. I believe him too. He was very clear. I hope he succeeds. But make no mistake, there was no announcement of any reoccurring contracts or contract that may have a impact on revenue that would generate a PR!
Just think about this there are almost 8 million employer operated businesses in the U.S. and LQMT has not one new meaningful contract with one. There are about 26 million firms in the USA and LQMT has not one new meaningful announced contract with any one of them. This after 18 years of being in business.
As far as announcing a new partner in China for outsourcing. Remember Materion, Engel and others. Have shareholders profited from any partnership yet?
Show us the money!
All of this is not to say that LQMT is not on the right path to success or that they won’t have contracts. But burning through over $50 million in cash in the past eight years (26 million in the last two years) and generating $250k for a 10Q quarter is nothing to celebrate. It’s disgraceful. It’s not what I would call increasing shareholder value. $250k for a 3 month period might be great for a start up company. But for a company operating for over 18 years...give me a break. Give everyone a break.
Without weekly updates as to progress and transparency, the downward trend will continue. From ..14 to .10. And if the next 10Q falls short of increasing revenues the SP will drop below .10
The fact that no insider has reported to be buying stock. The fact that issued stock has in the past been converted into common shares by insiders and then sold is not exactly a sign of confidence.
We can all disagree. But the fact is the SP is still floundering around .14 and shareholders know just about what they knew two years ago about the future of LQMT. Not much facts, plenty of theories.
Until next week or LQMT strikes oil, good luck to all
Gamesc, page 41.
It’s not oil, but its a start.
The questions are good. Even with outsourcing (so much) you need demand. Demand should translate to revenues, sales. So far no revenues from lack of power or outsourcing have been reported. A lot of chatter, a lot of talk. Talk is cheap, but even at that price LQMT cannot afford it.
Good luck to you
It would great if all saw those numbers. It would be also a sign of progress if they could elaborate on ConMed, Boston Scientific or Medtronics without the BS. In fact it would be nice if the could talk without any BS. It would have no impact on their bottom line, but at least there would be more respect for them in the posts.
All this negativity on the board are the actual results of LQMT’s failures and actual emotional feelings and views derived from the years and years of disappointments. Now perhaps some of those disappointments were/are based on our own naive understandings regarding the new material and potential industrial demand. But as of today those naive views are no longer in play. What is in play, are the continuous failures of the executives in their ability to increase sales or show real progress.
As far as electrical power is concerned, they should have moved the new HQ to the Gobi Desert in northwest China and complained that they needed water too! Now that upgrade would require decades. But to move from one location to another locally and not know what your power needs will be, require an apology for ignorance, an apology for stupidity if they knew better but moved there anyway and for heads to roll. Did anyone see heads roll or an apology? I don’t think so. How do you trust a executive ‘s word after that debacle? You don’t!
When they show more integrity and trust, then we can imagine once again sales.
Good luck to you
The post is speaking directly to this equity with regards to quarterly reports in terms of historical sales growth, truthfulness and especially reality. The latter is what most forget where expectations are in play. I see absolutely a zero possibility for a $1million dollar quarterly report for this quarter.
I try to keep the posts and expectations within the realm of probability and not the realm of possibility. So yes LQMT can report any sales figure. But that would have to include wishful thinking. After 18 years of failures, no new contracts, plenty of executive blather, no longer do I afford LQMT any possibility of hitting oil until it does.
This board presents enough possibilities fairly well without me adding to it. The realities of LQMT’s success or lack of success is the basis for my views.
Good luck to you
Well another week passes by for all who invest in any of the world’s largest casinos called the stock markets. Be it mega caps, large caps, midsize caps, small caps, or micro small caps. Generally speaking, its a tough time for short term traders and a hiccup for long term investors.
But for all traders and investors in this equity, the positive nor the negative factors that affect the markets have absolutely zero impact on the performance up or down. LQMT’s downward trending SP, is a direct reflection on how well management is and has been performing. Take away the speculation and the SP would be closer to .001 if it were not for the cash received from the purchase 2 years ago.
Tariffs, taxes, nor economic policies domestic or foreign cannot have an impact on a company that has basically zero sales in the first place. When you have a long term equity floundering in sales and reporting $55k for a quarter. The next quarterly report would be meaningless, be it $10k or $200k. This is not a pattern of growth nor decline. It is not a call for a celebration. When you have and see a PR announcement of a contract. Then you can start to measure where this increase is coming from. After that contract, then the quarterly report that follows will make it a little clearer to tell if the quarterly sales have any meaning.
All sad to say myself included should be wondering why the SP is not lower and be thankful it still trades above .12 or .10 instead of .145. Without any progress or hype or rumors, or spin by the few market gurus out there. This equity unfortunately will continue it’s downward trend in SP, regardless of a positive quarterly report.
The positive to this is that existing and new dice rollers will buy into the dream.
In the meantime check this CE product out. Some of you may already have. It is not cheap.

Until next week... or LQMT hits oil, smile :)
Good luck to all
100% correct. Perceived value not actual value.
At the shareholder’s meeting. Let’s hope they don’t talk about tomorrow when they have nothing to show for today. Otherwise all will just be repeating the words of a salesman selling the elixir for LQMT ‘s anemic quarterly income statements. It will be like deja vu, only not for the second time. So let’s all hope when they verbally serve up the sandwiches for all to digest, that this time, we can taste the meat and not just the stale old bread.
There was a time when I would cut them slack. There was a time where they showed more promise. The time for promises are over. The time for results are now. They have had many years of slack and it shows in their performance to date. As a matter of fact all I can see are slackers. Sounds harsh? When a company fails year over year like this one has and shows very little for their efforts except fat paychecks at shareholders expense. It’s not harsh at all.
It’s being polite. It defines having patience. How the heck more are not fired at the top is beyond my politeness and patience.
It’s time for the announcement! It’s time for facts not for more expectations!
To all in LQMT, good luck.
Watts Watt, even if all long terms were 30 again, I don’t believe they would be interested in ever again depositing their hard earned income in a company for another 18 years at zero interest and at any inflation rate subtracting from their purchasing power as well, let alone selling at a loss.
Now for someone who is 30 years old and entertaining the idea of buying a share or two. Just tell me why outside of speculation and the sincere hopeful reasons long terms have already posted you would buy.
I was warned not to buy. Did I listen? No
I was warned not to add. Did I listen? No
I was told to sell often. Did I listen? No
When the market cap surpassed $300 million, I knew of many that were ready to go in. All they wanted to see was growing quarterly income. They viewed no such thing. They saw the opposite and advised me to sell. Did I listen? No!
Why? Because like many here we believe we know better. Time will tell. But as you say...that too is limited now.
Good luck to you.
Your sentiments on what’s inside Li’’s Head and what might happen down the road is what interested all of us as far as I can remember and as time goes on, what I can remember may be less with each passing year. Not that I am not in control of all of my faculties. But when I first invested in LQMT, back in 2001, most long terms have felt that way at least two or three times. It’s called speculation. Speculation on the new material, speculation on the demand by all industries wanting a better material, speculation on Kang, speculation on TS, speculation on Apple, and now speculation on Li.
It all boils down to hope and speculation. Before it was speculation on the need for the material, whether we understood it’s limitations. Now it boils down to the integrity and abilities of LQMT to sell an even a better new material. All theories, all guessing all speculating that Li will succeed here in the USA as he has succeeded in prospering. Two years + no big contracts, decreasing share value, no PR, increasing share dilution, no progress, decreasing revenues, a lower pps, failing overpaid executives are the facts.
For everyone’s sake. Let’s hope that the turnaround is short term especially for long term shareholders.
Good luck to you
Eagle1947, If it makes you feel any better we are all gamblers in LQMT. The only investor here is Mr. Li. The term investor is used to be nice. It helps explain why gamblers hang on. You are not alone. Investing and investors left a long long long time ago.
Good luck to you.
While all investors hopeful or doubtful keep scouring World Wide Web, including LQMT itself, for that needle in the haystack, that might bare fruit and reverse the one year downward trend which has sent the SP down from .40+ (based on the Li investment, some hype and sincere expectations) to .12.7. LQMT for another week keeps adding more hay to the haystack by way of their continued silence, lack of any announced progress or any announcement regarding additional contracts or renewals of old ones that might lead to increasing confidence in LQMT’s abilities to succeed.
Other than long term shareholders hanging on for better or for worse (I hope for the better) or pointing out to the noise of the Amorphous metal activity in China and how it may possibly affect us in a very positive way. IMHO, LQMT itself, continues to fail it’s shareholder’s in all aspects.
We can all hope for a miracle. A huge announcement. $1.50 would be nice. After all the season of giving will be here soon. And then more news and $2.00 then $3.00.
If nothing else at least the post ended on a happy note.
Until next week
Good luck to all
Josh, all of the info points to the use of LQMT.

Welcome back. Hope you are feeling better.
Actually no one has missed the nail head and no one just hit his own head with the hammer. All here either see the light at the end of the tunnel or if they cannot, at least they imagine that they can see it. Otherwise it’s over.
But right now the nail on the the head is worth .147 give or take a penny. Right now that nail is worth less than the price Li paid for it and with inflation and loss of 25 million of the cash given to LQMT, that nail is worth even less. Now factor in no quarter over quarter in sales increases, superfluous blogs, no contracts and no positive PR and what you have left is not a hammer hitting the nail 1000%. You have a hammer hitting a thumb tack.
Now if operations continue for the foreseeable future as they have been doing for the past twenty + years, then the trend as stated before is for a lower SP and hitting the pin on the head and not a nail.
The other BB on this board meaning Bruce offered no solid guidance or timeline nor when any sales would take place. Rather That B.B. painted an abstract picture of more delay and failure and hang on, there is demand out there and the company may not be ready.
I’m all for LQMT to succeed. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I say contracts and increased quarterly revenues is worth millions. Now that’s the nail I’m looking to hit. Not the pastel nails you’re seeing.
Good luck to you
You are hitting the nail on the head post after post. There is a lot more he’s not telling you, like no NDA’s that would have a huge impact on the bottom line & no contracts and outsourcing costs more to operate and generate a product. Demand for product has to be filled abroad another loss. And there’s more he has not stated but there are enough negatives already out there.
But you throw out a bone to the dogs and expect them to be happy to stop them from barking for awhile. It works for awhile. But for the puppies here, they will always lap up a cheap toy (a distraction).
Keep nailing it.
Good luck to you
PayMEmf, the sales are of very little consequence. The lack of a 8K, which is broad indicates no positive or negative events have occurred. The lack of PR is deafening and reaffirms all of the above. Other than options and warrants I see no insider activity nor has any out side individual other than the present status quo executives accumulated shares to be called an insider.
So betting that they will be is the same as saying LQMT is about to rocket up. Now we all know that a few sellers have sold and caused a drop in the SP. and just as fast a few buyers can prop it back up. All on zero news and zero sales.
When you see 10 and 20 million shares trading daily, then you know lift off is at hand. Right now for the next 90 days without a 8K or PR, the SP is continuing his downward trend.
It is quite possible that all or most of those products mentioned on their website, will one day translate into income. One day. That day is not today nor the next quarter. It should have been today, but it’s not. All should focus on the failures of the executives and their lack of communications and their lack of progress. Because that is who, what and why the SP is drifting lower. It is not due to any post here nor to any self proclaimed guru.
Good luck to you.
PayMEmf. No prediction. Bruce stated parts were shipped. No 8K’s filed. Bryce stated Blogs will be used when information has no significance to the company’s impact and that PR’s would be used when a significant event happens. So far no PR.
So with the understanding of this company’s track record and recent earnings or lack of progress, what’s left to conclude?
Even the recent blog of a power upgrade does not seem to be a significant event. Why? Because for now the company cannot state it will lead to a significant event in terms of revenues. Why? Because they have no contracts yet. Why? Because of insufficient power to fulfill one?
Thus what can anyone expect in the next 10Q? A small bump? Flat? A drop? Who knows?
All that is left is $37 million, some new machines, insiders not buying, a promise and hope for success.
Perhaps success will happen. Just not now.
Good luck to you
Eagle1947, it’s Halloween time, it’s just that LQMT is saying one thing by way of their blogs and then reporting one heck of a scary picture in their 10Q’s and zero 8K costumes.

Need anyone say more!
Another week passes by with continued silence from LQMT’s executives, all MIA. All shareholders as usual have been kept in the dark. People exiting at a higher than average sales volume to buy ratio is excelerating dips. See post https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=144223321
Nothing has changed.
There is nothing new.
Shareholders; are looking to exit and others are protecting their principle investments. Others try to time the dips to buy back in.
But LQMT itself gives not anyone a good reason to invest.
Year over year for almost 2 decades now they show someone else’s product on their site and explain how their amorphous metal product would be a great idea if the companies they were/are talking to would incorporate their IP. Thus shareholders draw a conclusion that a sale might be imminent or a short term down road. But history records no success to this way of raising consistency of growing revenues since inception.
All are aware that repeating the same strategy and methods have not been fruitful. All are aware that repeating the same mistakes of trying to sell new material for existing products has led to huge losses forcing the sale and loss of it’s IP for CE in 2010 and again forcing the sale of it’s patents and IP abroad to a huge geographical market. Sarcastically all can say that a company that repeats the same mistakes over and over again and expects the results to change is a bit nuts. ( Read Einstein’s definition of insanity).
All should be aware of the same definition, when buying LQMT and thinking over and over again that hitting oil is just around the corner.
As far as I can see and I don’t see much, LQMT has not painted that type of scenario since the CE sale in 2010. Only rumors on other sites and others have. And as far as Li goes, I don’t see the big boom yet from gaining the LQMT IP by way of sales to consumers by Eontec either.
So two things are still possible, maybe three, maybe four.
1. LQMT lands a contract or two to raise the pps.
2. Eontec lands a contract or two and pays LQMT payments for cross selling. Thus raising the pps.
3. One of LQMT’s employees finally has a light bulb go off and LQMT originates a new product an original
amorphous metal product that household consumers would want or need, to raise the pps.
4. All don’t want to hear number four.
Thus the decline in pps will continue absent any changes as stated in my previous post from last week.
It’s not what anyone here wants. But it’s all we have. We have hope and expectations and emotions on the one hand and reality on the other. And right now the reality is not a pretty picture on this site or on the site of LQMT.
Until next week,
Good luck to all
A. Because it’s still trending lower.
B. Because the company has failed to increase sales.
C. There has been no company guidance or progress for two years.
D. Having new equipment and resources has not yet generated revenue growth.
E. The CEO has ignored all investors concerns regarding LQMT progress and failures.
F. The company has burned through almost 50% of its cash from the Li IP buyout.
G. Market cap has been cut in half in 12 months forcing some brokerage firms to discourage buying.
So, outside of speculation,hope, wishful thinking, zero evidence of a contract and a two decade history of failures to developing any continuity of consistent growth. How can you buy at any price?
If one were new to this dice roll, why would they touch it all? Just the fact that the company has no investor relations group marketing or answering shareholder’s questions and the fact that the CEO appears to be in a coma is enough to upset many existing shareholders let alone attracting new ones.
All stocks can be attractive at any price. This one right now lacks an attractive reason to buy at any price.
What the heck. There isn’t even a decent rumor out there to buy it at any price.
All who own shares have read it all and will hold or sell. All will buy, when the company starts to become transparent with progress and not rhetoric. You don’t need to be profitable to attract buyers. You just need revenues. LQMT right now has neither.
Good luck to you.
You don’t have to have a net positive income in any financial report to grow a company or to increase it’s SP. You can report quarterly losses and rocket up the SP, just as long as your sales increases quarterly and your debt decreases. There are many big board companies out there with huge debt and sky rocketing SP’s.
In the case of LQMT, increasing quarterly sales is not a skill acquired yet by any of the executives employed. Getting paid huge sums and issuing stock warrants and options while failing to achieve increasing quarterly sales are a skill acquired by the same executives, at our loss not theirs.
For a long time now, LQMT has been working on the amorphous metal implantable pacemaker just as they touted the parts for sutures to be used by Conexations in the medical field in 2016. That’s two years ago. Li himself, before buying the LQMT’s IP, was trying to enter the medical implantable parts industry in 2010 with Eontec in China.
Just as they (PH and Co.) touted ConMed and prototypes and tire pressure sensors in the auto industry and on and on and on.
So how has that worked out for all in LQMT, outside of the executives???
They might as well put a picture of The Mona Lisa in a Liquidmetal frame on the site. It might just have the same chances and sales as the recently site posted pacemaker shell.
Without a purchaser or a contract, it’s (the pacemaker shell) just a lot of artwork and another piece of metal added to the the existing pile of metal prototypes in their forever growing clogged pipeline heap.
But who knows? You know what some say...even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
Good luck to you.
No outlook changes from last week. Still trending lower. Based on insider publicly disclosed information the next 10q will have a neutral impact on the pps. Thus the trend for the SP to drop over the following 3 months will continue. The lower trade volume makes the company a higher risk, due to anyone with a large position will find it more difficult to sell. Without any real breakthrough, all can expect this one to hit .13.
Believing the opposite to the above sounds good but is based on hope and some sort of secret breakthrough.
PH did not leave because he was successful. Those still in place have not performed any better to date in that endeavor. The executives selling is and was a clear sign that everything was not going as planned. PH left because he failed. Bromage and PH had a long history of working together way before LQMT. That is how he found his new job.
None of this should make anyone happy. Especially MR. Li!
Until next week, good luck to all.
Are you averaging down?
A buy today is a good strategy if you do not believe LQMT is not a value trap equity and your average share price right now is 10% above .18 and higher, and you are looking for a exit strategy or to sell a percentage of your holdings on a small pop.
Otherwise the trend for this one still points south.
This is based on the fact of no PR, zero deals, and none of the areas that LQMT is trying to get into are buying.
Of course if you believe a deal is imminent, by all means buy.
But other than a high risk stock trending down, what’s the rush? Aside from the facts, you could be right. They just might release the news of a big deal real soon.
Good luck to you
Eagle1947, The truth to what you say has been the hope of all long term shareholders for over 20 years and now the hope of all shareholders. Everyone that posts information on any LQMT board, everyone that posts positive views or factual views or impatient views, all wish the LF crew has a breakthrough. Some express more patience than others.
The company like most companies will not rocket anywhere without someone else buying their service, product or technology. So far the only buyers has been in the area of IP. Apple & Li.
Good luck to you.
So back in 2016, excluding warrants issued to Li, he is up $8.1 million on his purchase of 405 million shares. LQMT is down by accumulating operating losses and microscopic sales $27 million, from the initial $63.4 million share purchase by Li. About $36 million remains.
On the plus side the SP tripled from .06 to .018.
On the growth side in terms of sales so far, ZIP, Zilch, Nada. Historically in line with actual results not in line with actual expectations and perpetual forward looking PR or Blogs.
So realistically (some find this difficult to understand) Li knowingly bought a company without sales to speak of or any current major client impacting growth in a huge way. In essence he bought IP for now, to help expand sales in China first and the US second. Very patriotic and smart for Li and Chinese companies he is affiliated with.
The success of the US second part, right now has hit a snag as the executives here have hit a huge snag. It seems none of the big kahunas that LQMT keeps touting (you know: military, medical, auto etc.,) is biting. None not one has offered $$$ to LQMT for it’s technology or product.
Well then, LQMT has been not a rocket play for the past 8 years but a rumor and timing play. Its not about the sales or the PR or the 10q’s. Its about what price did a dice roller get in and out and in and out etc. for anything else about LQMT was and still is not worth even a hill of beans.
You can be a hopeful cheer leader and post we are going to the moon or you can cry wolf and scream; the sky is falling and you can do this day and night. But the simple fact is that we are not headed towards the moon, neither is the sky falling. The simple fact right now is that without any announcement of new revenues LQMT is in a downward trend and has been for some time now. The daily SP and Volume are constant reminders of this fact as well as the Quarterly 10q reminders.
I can’t yet yell out the sky is falling and neither am I jumping up for joy. Just posting reality. LQMT has $36 million left to play with plus rumors and occasional pumps. Shareholders have various timeframes and share their theories to buy and exit again and again. LQMT offers very little to zero news regarding growth.
Until next week or whenever LQMT hits oil
Good luck to all.

So far the use of the words liquid metal for a iwatch style means bubkes and dukes for LQMT as many other companies use those words to describe a product, process or service. For example:
https://axsh.jp/news.html
For if the sales of the watch had any direct impact financially on LQMT ‘s bottom line a 8K would have been publicly disclosed.
Very sad when people run to and fro in any and every direction when the words liquid metal or Liquidmetal are thrown about in the world of the WWW.
Clearly the LQMT volume would have shot up 5 Square at the moment of a company like Apple using LQMT in it’s watches or any other product. The SP would have also popped in like manner.
Seriously!
Let us all hope LQMT can find it’s way back to CE. But until then, its all about medical and auto. That is if you believe in anything LQMT is stating for the past few years. Stay with the facts. Everything else is pure speculation.
Do you think LQMT would still be trading as a .18 price if it were true?
Its ok to except crumbs. But I prefer them to be real. Not artificial. The volume and SP knows the words liquid metal on the iwatch is artificial.
But we all can hope it means something else may come in the next iwatch. Something real I hope.
