It is interesting that TRI on Facebook is talking about releasing he Turing phone In May. Maybe your right.
Looks like it will primarily be marketed to government and military as a high security extra durable phone!
Please explain. TP propaganda has been around with false promises for a while. How does this reveal a takeover and first contract?
Not sold, invested in! Big difference.
Actually if Apple is planning on using liquidmetal both in CE and non-CE it would make perfect sense for them to want full control!
Name another company that Apple has invested in IP the way the have liquidmetal over the last 6 years?
I think it would be good for Apple's stock if they bought out Liquidmetal right now. It would REVIVE the hope for Apple Investors that Apple is really going to use an innovative material in their products in the near future.
This would be good for Apple and good for LQMT investors as well.
If Apple doesn't use a ground breaking material like Liquidmetal in their 2017 phone and reverts back to glass, they can kiss their ground breaking profits good by. No one wants another iPhone that shatters and cracks when you drop it.
Liquidmetal is their White Knight to bring back their cutting edge reputation. Buying the company would signal their shareholders what is up and coming and lift thier stock during the interim.
Exactly. Steipp has made so many predictions and held out so many false hopes of production, contracts and revenue that he has lost all credibility in the eyes of investors.
The only reason the share price is even holding at 0.13 is because of the Lugee Li deal, and the prospect of Li taking over and really doing something with this company.
I don't think anyone believes we are ever going to see a significant contract and significant revenue under Steipp's reign.
One recent example is the CoNextions production order boasted about as "significant" in the PR's. Where is the revenue from this significant production order? We have heard absolutely nothing more about it, because it's a crock of Shteipp.
Where are the 12-15 orders management boasted about at the last cc that are coming this year for up to 27 mil?
New management is needed that has the competency to run a company, before we see something happen with this company and stock!
Share price would rise to 1 dollar just on speculation!
They will buy out liquidmetal before Lugee gets control of it.
I think someone will end up buying this company out for a dollar per share!
Why didn't management create a price war for licensing liquidmetal between Apple, Samsung, and other CE companies back in 2010?
Samsung seems like a far more innovative company than Apple in the last 6 years!
Surely a better deal than the lousy 20 million that Apple paid could have been forged with a company that would actually use the material.
Good points Watts.
I have contended one of liquidmetals main hurdles has been a lack of deep pockets and manufacturing ability on a macro level.
Now we have both in a Chinese investor that has an interest in making money!
Gut feelings are always a reliable and credible source to follow.
Thanks for the download and clarification.
Definition of day trader: Sparky
So now your saying Hauck at least gets a paycheck, but is naive in thinking this is really ready for mass production.
Brilliant deduction!
So you still haven't explained to anyone on this board how you know liquidmetal isn't ready for mass production in light of all that Engel is doing.
Is just how you FEEL, or you GUT telling you.
Ok Sparky whatever you say. Makes me feel so much better knowing that you own no shares of lqmt, and have only bought and traded lqmt 4 times-BUT YOUR NOT A DAY TRADER!
Engel alone has 64 different molds for prototypes they are looking to turn into contracts.
But you don't think it's ready.
What a hoot!
Sparky is a day trader trying to get the price down so he can buy more and unload on a little pop.
Don't trust anything he says.
He needs to get it done right. It's not an either or situation.
1. One says that a product is not ready for mass production.
2. Hauck and his sales force team have spent two years of their time trying to get contracts for mass production.
If 1 is true than this would lead to the logical conclusion that Hauck is waisting his time.
If 1 is false than this would lead to the conclusion that Hauck is not waisting his time.
Sometimes one needs to bring their assumptions to their logical conclusions whether stated or not.
I guess you know more than Hauck, a world renown specialist in this area.
Maybe you should let him know he is wasting his time and investment after 2 years leading the sales force team.
What gets me is when naive investors make all kinds of excuses for Steipps lack of competence that he has brought with him to this company.
He was handed a company with a game changing product, and 3 major companies investing in the R&D. And yet he failed to produce anything in 7 years.
Liquidmetals story is about a failed management, and a failed CEO. Only investors with their head in the sand try to deny, cover up or make excuses for such failure.
So what you are saying is that Steipp has been lying and deceiving not only shareholders, but also all potential customers who filled out the 450 RFQ's, his own sales force team seeking contracts for the last two years, and Engel who built the machines and is advertising for them.
Even with the deal with Lugee Li, if solid contracts don't come in this year at least bringing this company to break even we will see the share price sink to .05.
Have you ever contacted Steipp to express your concerns.
I have several times with no response!
It is really hard to understand how this company after 6 years with Steipp at command, a full-time sales force team for over 2 years, and Engels liquidmetal symposiums and support can still be without any significant revenue making contracts.
Its down because Cook spends to much of his company time fiddling with politics. He needs to get focused on Apple products, and start producing cutting edge technology again.
What in the world has taken apple so long to use such a ground breaking material like liquidmetal in their products?
Speculation is already building over iPhone 8 being liquidmetal GLASS in 2017.
Not sure how or if this will all fit together with Lugee Li in the picture. But I believe we have a most interesting year in front of us!
Holding long!
Apple will eventually use it. The timing seems ripe.
Maybe it will take the Chinese to come in and show them how it's done!
Problem of worth is not in the IP, but in the execution of it toward real products by liquidmetal and by Apple!
Once it's used in real production of real products for real revenue everything changes.
Investors apparently believe we are not far from this, and are bullishly hanging onto their shares!
Better get in the game soon sparky, or you will be left looking at the sparks coming from the caboose!
We are all frustrated and have less in the bank account than pre Liquidmetal days.
It's a chance we take with new technology.
I have always been skeptical of Steipp's competence and experience to get this company off the ground. Time has proven his incompetence.
Glad we agree that it time for Steipp to go and new management to step in to bring some worth to this stock.
Lugge is the man.
What are you kidding me! Valuation? This company has had absolutely no valuation for over a decade! And it still doesn't today!
Everybody who buys into this stock buys on what could be! If it was on the bases of its current valuation, there would be 0 investors.
And yes I do hold management and CEO responsible for the accomplishments or lack of them for a company.
What world are you living in!
Wow what profound advice. Thank you mr. Rogers, I mean Jolly Rogers!
Yep. I don't believe any long shareholders are pleased with Steipp and his performance the last 6 years as CEO.
He failed to execute under his reign of liquid metal. 6 years was plenty of time for him to turn this ship around to start making revenues. Instead, he bled shareholders dry, and gave himself raises.
STILL, we see little to no revenues and contracts under Steipp. It's time for him to get out of the way, and let someone like Lugge Li with more competence and a proven track record to come in and actually start making real profits for this company.
Not the make believe kind of profits that are projected during the cc, but never materialize into anything.
Steipp's reign is coming to an end and long shareholders are better off for it.
It may have doubled in value from .06, but most holding bought in over .20, including you, and are still in the red!
Let's not pretend that this stock has brought value to long shareholders. Quiet the opposite up to this point.
Actually the Lugee Li deal has brought the share price from 0.08 to 0.13. Very bullish.
The fact this has stayed steady is not a sign of skepticism but a bullish bet that more is to come.
I myself am bullish and holding long, so I have to disagree with your assessment of investors being skeptical and the share price showing it.
When the deal is finalized with Lugee then we will see the share price clime higher.
Holding long!
And yet at the same time the shareholders have lost millions, Tommy boy is giving himself million dollar pay raises!
