All of what you say is true. But when you want to enter the business world by way of selling and pitching that (supposedly) highly detailed product, you want to make sure the resume has no mistakes.
But as I stated in so many words...I don’t think anyone would care if they hit a home run and the pps were $1.00 and climbing.
Seems like LQMT just cannot get past the resume stage with many of its clients. I wonder why? Is it the spelling or the product?
Your assessment is 1000% correct. All are aware that with the advances in communications via video and the internet. A ceo can be in many places at the same time. But nothing replaces a hands on approach. Can anyone imagine the impressions they would have had if mr. Li Skyped in for his California open house? Or just sent over a pre-taped video?
Seems like mr. Li is running LQMT as if it is a successful fast food franchise company. That style of corporate management works well when you have a proven successful business formula that grows year over year. Not even with Eontec had he achieved that yet.
Rather than think he has the money, to me he is looking a bit over extended and both the lack of revenue and transparency from him is very revealing. He is not sitting on the next BIG thing. The revenues from either LQMT or Eontec are very clear to that fact.
All believed the purchase of LQMT were for the patents and the OH and equipment were to raise revenues through mr Li ‘s guidance. So far the first part of our belief has proven to be correct. The 2nd reason remains to be seen. Right now it’s not looking so good. Right now mr. Li exists in past statements and signed 10Q’s and more issued stock option statements. Everything else about mr. Li is a forward looking statement.
Good luck.
I would like to have a nickel for every typo error found on Fortune 500 company news releases posted to their websites and mailed out reports to their shareholders. We would all be millionaires annually.
I would like to have a penny for every product those Fortune 500 companies make. We would all be billionaires.
On the other hand if we apply the same logic to LQMT, we would not care how many typo errors they make, except for the fact that we would only be worth a few pennies based on the products they make. Less than the pps LQMT trades. Now that’s the real beef with the grammar. I think?
No. that math is called fear and speculation. A math used by people not basing the pps on reality. The reality is what can look fuzzy at times. LQMT has had a fuzzy look for a few years now, and can infect many shareholders to believe, that no products and no PR and no new agreements = more revenue and a higher share price. Now that’s fuzzy math and fuzzy thinking.
The only clear facts remaining is that there is still cash left over from an absentee owner and that his orphaned executives are doing the best they can with the little that they have.
Anything else seems to be a burden on the above team of execs. Like updates on prototypes and relationships with new clients or potential new clients or possibly a question from a shareholder.
In essence (LQMT ‘s Dad) mr. Li, has abandoned his U.S. children, but he is not a dead beat dad. He has left them money ($37million) for the rent, bills, shelter and food. He is going through a business midlife crisis. Is he leaving (Eontec) the wife, for his new young fling (LQMT), or will he go back home or will he become a business bigamist and stay married to both?
Good luck to all
.30+ towards the end of July.
ConMed, arms ordinance contracts + two new prototypes soon, that may lead to a contract soon. Now I know if I don’t paste a link for the last line above it leads to fuzzy math.
Lm105 has a few negatives when it comes to pace makers stents etc. read LQMT ‘s test results for more info to get a better pic for where lm105 may be a better medical product fit.
Now if they can release details on the progress with ConMed, now that would be a game changer.
New blog from LQMT. http://www.liquidmetal.com/isolite-3/
472,000 to 1.5 million shares does not a shake out make.
Ok. .41 + Apple hype and expectation hype and disappointing 10q’s= .75
The fear rage effect of U.S. tariffs on China = the current market price of Eontec divided by the current market price LQMT. 7.32 ÷ .0272= LQMT @.69 to $2.69 and Eontec @ $4.63 to $6.63 Give or take $2.00. Or reality sets in and all equities take a short term breather and head south until trade strategies conclude shortly.
The U.S. is in the driver seat on this one as Americans import $350 billion more than we export. Meaning we import about $500 billion a year from China and they import $150 billion. They have no unions, lower wages, poor working conditions and their government banks subsidized most of their global companies to compete. Only recently have they started to upgrade specific worksites.
China has the advantage to produce a lower priced product. The U.S. has the advantage in wealth. The impact of tariffs would crush China ‘s economy, increase inflation and manufacturing in the U.S. as we then would be making the same products for about the same price. Unions, wages and the impact of strikes will grow too.
The 80’s all over again.
Good luck to all
You think his plan is long term? All business plans are long term. That has nothing to do with the lack of transparency and lack of communications, lack of respect and common decency towards shareholders of the company regardless of shares owned or outstanding. Companies do not put a sign on their door shouting in bold print OUT TO LUNCH will be back in three years!
The only plan I can see from the way LQMT projects itself, is to discourage new investors, except for new insiders.
Long terms are here to either make a profit on spikes or await the day, week, month or year for 7 digit revenues.
During that wait, we theorize and hypothesize on DD and the available cash LQMT has and can borrow to remain OUT TO LUNCH.
It is not a terrible way to make money. But until LQMT can better explain it’s business strategy week to week in the form of communications and transparency, it is the only way long term shareholders should be planning their own strategy for the longer term, however long that may be.
The feelings of frustration may be from the fact that LQMT has not succeeded in landing the big contract after being here 5, 10 or 15 years. But now add to that the frustration of a company that no longer feels they have to communicate and is failing to live up to there words of blog speak and you have very hopeful but low opinion for this company. That is not a very good sign or signal for new investors. Nor is it welcomed by anyone with self respect.
The cash burn rate coupled with revenues will determine the long term goals. Although, I personally do not follow people like JB or his inside rhetoric, his short term strategy is 1000% correct, and his long term strategy is too. Buy on dips sell on spikes, take your gains and wait for the day a company hits oil on your long term investment. It is a strategy I use with ssys and kyn and a few others. It is a strategy I have not applied to LQMT, but will do this year based on LQMT’s lack of communications and lack in transparency in progress. NDA’s have nothing to do with it. Investing should be about making money now and tomorrow. Not hoping for it.
Good luck to all
Li’s silence is not about wisdom. Li’s continued silence is a very poor way of doing business and is very insulting to all shareholders. Ditto for the rest of LQMT. Regardless of any progress, all shareholders have a right to transparency. Whether its good or bad.
You cannot suggest that someone invest in LQMT, when there is zero PR. It is one thing to invest in a high risk dice roller, when you have PR. It is another thing to invest any in a company with zero PR and a pitiful 10q after pitiful 10q. They would have to be truly insane to buy now.
Now maybe that is the goal. Because it sure does not look like anything else. Unless one likes to speculate.
So no new PR, no new progress, no new clients, no new agreements, and no new revenues. That is what LQMT and mr. Li are saying by keeping silent. This is not rocket science!
Good luck to all
It’s quite obvious from reviewing the following link, these people need to hire a new marketing team or resign!
https://www.liquidmetal.com/size-limitations/
If you can’t sell lemonade in a hot desert. Either there are no clients hanging out there or you need to advertise somewhere else.
Does anyone know if LQMT is open? Haven’t heard a word from them. Hmmm?
What do you mean “Li is busy” and he has until 2020?
Who’s Li? pps trades .23 to 28 with no show Li. Pps struggles to reach .30 with progress suggested by the executive blogs. Silence from LQMT for 2 years+ running may be a Guinness Book of Record, regarding new business. Expectations are not supporting the pps, neither is Li or PR. Only hype from B.B. gurus and the Apple effect are in play and are a good reason for the above .06 pps, not to mention the $37+ million in cash.
The potential spike beginning in late July through September IMHO, keeps most here. The never ending potential supported by executive blog hype and did here keeps long term shareholders here a bit longer.
Li who?
For what it’s worth. 2017, LQMT earns $879.45 a day. The cost to LQMT to achieve that revenue was $1906.85 a day. A small contract can wipeout the deficit. The problem is not raising revenues. It’s decreasing the cost to make the money. Cost for sales went up over 200% in 2017.
Time for LQMT to trim the fat or pay for that extra bacon. Perhaps the executives should buy back shares to increase shareholders value.
8 months after the OH and rumors of Liquidmetal in Apple phones have quieted down around the web. But actual DD shows an increased interest in it’s use by Apple in the form of patents. What remains as speculation is who will be the suppliers?
LQMT in the past on at least 2 occasions posted the Apple logo on it’s web, only to remove it quickly. As far as CE goes for LQMT, they reveal that they are not in the game. But their extreme silence may mean they might be in the CE game.
A very deep search into LQMT’s website reveals a IWatch and IPhone. The images are slightly blurred, there are no images of Apple or TM’s., but they clearly appear to be Apple products. Whether the images are intentional or unintentional or to or not to provoke speculation, I cannot say. I will not post the link.
Anyone interested can contact LQMT for an explanation. I don’t like to speculate. I do find it odd, that with all of the historical and current controversy and interest in Liquidmetal/metal glass surrounding LQMT and Apple, that the pics are there in the first place.
For what it’s worth.
Good luck to all.
I posted earlier about another company using “Liquidmetal” as a trademark to sell their products. There are other companies doing the same, using “Liquidmetal” . Then I found this...

Not sure if LQMT is entitled to any compensation. But I’m sure they read this board.
LQMT should break .30+ in July.
LQMT may be using the process and so is this company.

The above link was posted before.
LQMT now showing LM in different colors.
LQMT recently updated there 84 page design guide to v9 from v7.
The gold finished doorknob with the lock cylinder was not added to the new design guide.
It is on their website. There is no reference to it on their website by written description. I do not like to speculate. Usually an image appears on the website and then is referred to at a later point in time as a prototype.
So far prototypes have not amounted to much in terms of revenue and share value.
But a few of the companies that they are trying to reach an agreement with this year can end their losing streak.
Medical and Auto. Anything else will break through the troposphere.
Read appendix C
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1141240/000143774916027548/ex10-2.htm
Unless there is a waiver....
Li also states no CE for LQMT. Now which Li do we believe?
How the heck did JB miss this one? LQMT and ConMed are both mum on a deal! And why is LQMT now showing a picture of a brass/gold cylindrical door lock with handle?
Don’t believe it? Email or call LQMT.
Maybe LQMT will post it or it’s relevance in their next blog?
Despite the Wall of Silence, there are a few cracks.
Diversion= Open House. Diversion= need power upgrade. Diversion= Blather Blogs for Real PR. Diversion= new machines to expand capacity for new clients, when only 10% capacity is being used(based on new agreements). Diversion= 8 months since OH and no big contract yet. Diversion= new ceo and 8 months of silence. Diversion= a marketing VP, really? Where’s the market?
It’s not a joke. It’s reality. A high risk bet that all of these diversions will pay off. My instincts are they have a better than 50/50 chance.
Gorgol, you made the correct decision 1000%. There are more people ready to invest in this company more money than is already invested. All are waiting for LQMT to sell the technology they have acquired to industries willing to sign license agreements. Revenues will bring the money in and the bacon home. Until there is transparency between LQMT and potential and existing investors all you will see are spikes and crashes. Pumpers and dumpers.
There are no pr’s. LQMT gives off a stay away impression for anyone interested. Blogs are a joke. Executives excuses are a joke. You either roll the dice or leave the table.
The call for you to leave the table was correct. If you are concerned you might miss a spike. Buy a few shares.
The chart is the same. The summary tells a bit more.
You will not get this from the LQMT design guide nor the current biocompatibility page. But you will get it here...
https://www.liquidmetal.com/biocompatibility/
Read the summary section.
Expect to see .30+ in July.
Would be nicer to see doubts in their integrity proven wrong and everyone’s expectations proven right. :)
LQMT apparently has some transparency issues.

This is a real company.
Is Liquidmetal a registered trademark of LQMT?

You might want to contact your buddy at SPUR first and see what his opinion is first. If he does not take the initiative, there is only so much you can do.
Liquidmetal updates website. https://www.liquidmetal.com
Yes, I remember your posts on this matter and the suggestion for you to send the info to LQMT, as well as the posts brought to this board regarding the difficulty to weld LM TO OTHERALLOYS. I posted the details that LQMT posted on their website as well as the condensed/limited version included in LQMT ‘s latest 80 page design guide.
It is very easy to criticize the LQMT response. However, the bigger picture here is the real honesty in Martin’s reply, and that is the fact that LQMT, is still looking for a solution to this very important aspect as it does have a negative impact on its use depending on where it might be used.
Perhaps LQMT might enlist SPUR to assist them in finding the solution.
Good luck to you.
Andyd33, contracts takes us to .30 and beyond.
Right now the only insiders buying are the outsiders.
Perhaps from a new client of indistinguishable size.
So I read the JB article posted here yesterday, and I do appreciate the post. After reading it I got the feeling that I have read most of JB’s post before. And then it hit me. I read most of the opinionated information here on this board many times. Its as close to plagiarism as you can get without calling it plagiarism. The views on Mr. Li, LQMT and others of his, have already been stated by the posters here. And then without direct backup draws conclusions or delusions just like many here do, I don’t know which. They’re nice theories, but Tesla and Apple are not new. So where is the research, where is the reason to bet the farm, the house and the first child? Where is the urgency to rush out and buy LQMT? Was there a big contract from Tesla? Did Apple waive the restriction of CE for LQMT? Or was there a bunch of gibberish? Or better yet, why pay for the service, when much more DD AND REALITY IS POSTED HERE by many here?
I mean his ability to fill a scrabble board is unmatched. But, where is the research or why is his research any better than that done here. What the heck was new? Tesla, Apple? Was that it. Not very innovative for someone digging for new information to compell buying or adding shares. He was scratching his head for a year, he said. Now I’m scratching mine, wondering if he should be giving discounts.
Like I always say: “people from Brooklyn, they don’t buy the bridge. They sell you the bridge”. JB’s theories are not far off, they’re just not worth imo, paying for on LQMT. But I do appreciate the positive post.
I can understand the reasons for holding onto LQMT. Those reasons were already stated by this board and you don’t have to wait for a newsletter to give you another product idea, that LQMT has not sold yet. Heck this board has dozens of uses for LQMT, and as it is, LQMT has had a heck of a long time trying to sell just one of them.
Now if JB has a new idea for marketing LQMT, now that would be breaking news worthy of a news letter at any price.
You see, JB and LQMT have something in common right now. Both can talk the talk and both can walk the walk. But can they walk the talk? That’s the $64 million dollar question, and right now the answer is no or at least not yet.
LQMT is about to mature this year 2018. Good luck to all and thanks to the many posters here who do great DD and research.
Here is the second post related to springs from LQMT
https://www.liquidmetal.com/spring-prototype-results/
Who they made this for is the bigger question.
https://www.heraeus.com/media/media/group/media_group/press/2018_3/180202_heraeus_amorphe_metalle/180201_Heraeus_New_amorphous_metals_EN.pdf
https://www.heraeus.com/media/media/group/media_group/press/2018_3/180202_heraeus_amorphe_metalle/180202_Heraeus_Amorphe_Metalle.jpg
Hitachi, also makes springs using a different Amorphous metal alloy formula.
Another company in Japan, also manufactures small amorphous metal parts of gears and springs, mainly used in jewelry.
There are many out there. But LQMT and Eontec have the attention of clients. No one is talking.
Reminds me of my friends from the Peanuts Characters; Charlie Brown and Lucy van Pelt. I don’t have to tell anyone here who plays the role of Chuckie. Do I......?
