More sellers than buyers some profit taking and MM's obligated to buy. Nothing to do with insider trading.
The needle was moved but not the volume.
So then there's the flip side to investing in an equity. Its called momentum. You know; an object in motion tends to stay in motion. So when I read posts like: "when LQMT hits $1, $2, $4, etc., I'm going to sell", tells me about some of the people here and how much they know or do not know about the equity casino. When you see your bet going up you do not exit. Unless you wish to miss out on more profit taking. You buy more and you use an exit strategy on a pull back. If you can imagine a $6 pps for LQMT without revenues. What do you think you would imagine, when this equity has revenues? Let me give you one example: some time ago I invested in a company ticker LNG @ $4.00 with plenty of debt. As it went up 20% I added more. I sold 25% on each 10% pull back. I earned a lot of $$$$.
I think its great to take profits. But to say I'm selling at $2 or more is not the way to maximize your return. If I did that with LNG or SSYS, I would have missed out on a ton of profits. Don't misunderstand me. I used to think the same way until a couple of global wealth mangers showed me my mistakes.
I am sure when LQMT goes above $1.00 people here will sell and hold onto shares and new investors will come in and buy for the same reasons we did. The only difference is that our what ifs will have come to fruition, while the new investors will have hope and anticipate new growth.
Just trying to help, when that $1, or $10 dollar day may come.
Good luck
Now just think where the pps would be today with 600% to 700% in revenue growth. Better yet just 40% YOY revenue growth. This is the missing piece of the puzzle. Another' missing piece to the puzzle is the non existent professional pubic relations company representing LQMT. A probable reason for the low trading volume even on a good day. There is a lot of money waiting to pour into this technology. They don't mind even if the price per share is over $2.00 right now. They do speculate. But they do not chase ghosts. Mr. Li is the only one that can solve these problems and complete the puzzle not you, nor I, nor the longs here, nor Tesla nor Apple. Hence, the board here will churn what is already known over and over with hopes and dreams and what ifs that all of us have for LQMT and our own bottom line.
Good luck to all
Thank you for moving the needle.
Like a scratch on an vinyl LP. It keeps skipping.
Eureka! Everyone here this morning gets it. So now let me add: There are investors on the sidelines watching and waiting for LQMT 's next move. They speculate on high risk equities but unlike most outside investors, they wait to see the meat on the bone before (investing)$alivating. As most here have invested not on the bone, but only the marrow. All of the pieces to this (equity) puzzle are in place. The remaining pieces are in the hands of the CEO Mr. Li. Good news of any kind will briefly Pop the pps. Verifiable contracts will bring in the traders from the sidelines and build a new base for this equity to climb.
Not bullish. Study your investment. You work hard for your money. You do not throw it away on a whim or a hunch. At least I don't. You research, you compare and you analyze as best as you can with information available and on information not available. You try to verify the information. BB stocks are not governed like other investments. Look at Eontec for example: if we are to believe the had a net profit of at least $2,000,000.00 for the year 2016, ($13 million+ yuan,) then one might expect the CEO of that company to do the same more or less, perhaps much better for his new company LQMT. I do not think as of this moment it was just a patent and technology raid. Could it be? Yes it could. Can LQMT drop to zero? It sure can. These are facts not wishes. But reading and seeing a new facility with equipment being installed, leads me to expect and anticipate sales. I said it before and I will say it again: I do not believe the new CEO threw $65 million dollars away as documented.
Thus I have no sentiment one way or the other on LQMT. My investments are based on much of my above conclusions and my experience. This is the only micro cap I own.
Good luck. Hang in there. I do expect this one in time to climb up.
Right now I would say .14 is on speculation, .20 on patent values and .04 on hype. In between you have some long term impatient, disgruntled and or patient share holders who are waiting for a break along with insiders.
I for one have tripled my holdings using speculation, experience and knowledge that there is a niche for the new materials markets. There is also competition and a sad fact that too many exclusive license agreements have weighted down this company's income potential.
There is no quick fix for LQMT 's income. Consumers and industry are the ones that will determine the need and price rise, not hype. There will always be hype in every equity. Not increased revenue. Hence LQMT trades as a micro small cap. And hence many of the large cap companies also fall from the sky. SSYS is one and many here know of many others.
Good luck.
Number$ do not lie. About a year ago LQMT market cap was $54 million. Along comes an investor willing to buy LQMT at a price raising its market cap 4 fold to approximately $200 million. No sales, no contracts, no speculation and no hype. If it were for the patents alone, the LQMT's name would now be called Eontec and all would own shares in Eontec or would have sold.
So one can pick and claw and scratch and dream and pump or dump and hype and speculate all day all week and every month of the year. But that still will not change the pps of LQMT. And if you note the market cap has increased quite a bit without all of the above adjectives since the new CEO took control.
There is something there to the increase. Not all of It is hype. The number$ they do not lie.
Thus all will have wait for hard data that to be released, not from rumors or wishful thinking. For if rumors and hype and speculation were the cause for the 600% increase, than LQMT would be trading around $10.00
Good luck to all.
Seems like LQMT is building a new resistance at .395.
There is low volume right now. Would be nice to see LQMT holding up at present levels with 6 or 7 million shares traded.
Andyd33. I like your $5.00 pps. But however did you reach a $5 billion market cap for LQMT? The math based on a sale or sales must be large enough to project or expect that amount of interest. The present equipment does not support that kind of growth. The purchase of more machines might raise eyebrows. Or insane speculation might cause a spike. But a $5 pps might happen looking out a few years away. Unless of course LQMT becomes an exclusive supplier of products to the medical field, the government or a tech. company.
Good luck.
People who are fickle change their minds so much you can't rely on them. SELL OFF? Really? If anyone cannot tell the difference between a sell off and profit taking then perhaps it is time to seriously consider taking a course in economics with an emphasis on investments.
This post is not meant to single anyone out. But to calm down those who might lack an understanding in stock performance.
When LQMT drops .004 from .040 to .0396 it is not a sell off. When LQMT drops .006 from .0396 to .039 it is not a sell off. Dropping 1.52% is not a sell off especially when it is double the average volume. It is profit taking.
How fickle one forgets LQMT traded around .12 for some time or .21 for some time. When a stock triples in a few months, you know up 300% and pulls back 10 to 20% it is not a sell off. It is smart profit taking to protect your initial investment. It is not timing either unless you have a crystal ball.
Posts on this board often define fickle.
I cannot tell you when LQMT will be profitable or exactly when they will put out a PR to announce a contract.
I can only do DD from public sources of information and make a decision to invest. It might help all here to think in the future when investing to buy more shares than they need so that they can also take profits and let the casino play with less of your principle investment. In this way perhaps all who are fickle will become less emotional about their investments. Think about it. It will help.
I have been in the DJ, S&P, Nasdaq & OTC casinos for over 40 years. It is not easy. But with common sense, and a few Rolaids from time to time you can eek out a living.
Good luck to all.
Mr. Li. NASA is waiting for your call to share in their projects.
They have approximately 127 liquid metal glass and 98 bulk metal glass applications/patents. They're looking for developers and manufacturers.
If that interests you Mr. Li, the NSF is handing out U.S. GOVERNMENT GRANTS/AWARDS to any research entity (your's included) to develop new liquid/bulk metal glass materials. The $$$ involved is enormous.
Good luck to all
To those on this board the info on the NSF and NASA sites are filled with volumes of info and patents and patent applications regarding liquid metal glass and bulk metal glass.
There are hard facts to back up the price increases from .12 to .25 . There are none to back up the increases from .25 to .44 . None zero. There are though in fact large blocks of shares that were recently purchased from a handful of investors or speculators to spike the price of this equity to where it trades currently. The OH announced earlier this year is not an admission of any pending or anticipated sales contracts. Without hard data to back up demand for shares and without insiders increasing the demand, a pullback in share price is a very normal occurrence since no one here knows why the increased interest in the stock initially occurred. I do know that the increase in market cap permitted more investors to buy LQMT. But from all sources I have zero data for the cause of this equity to rise from .25 to .34. This is not from a typical pump and dump. This is not an equity that releases daily PR BLATHER. My only conclusion based on the $$$ that has been traded, leads me to believe that there is a pipeline without a timeline coming for LQMT.
My basis for investing in this equity is that there will be a need for new materials in many industries. Sometimes it takes a long time for consumers to catch up to technology. A clear example of this is fiber optic cable. Bell Labs. Developed the technology for transmitting telephone conversation in 1971. New York City was Dark Lighted, with the fiber optic cable in the 90's way before the consumer had use or was ready for fiber optic service.
Dark Light: is a term for laying the cables before they are put into service.
Let us just hope we will not have to wait as long.
I have been long on LQMT.
Good luck to all.
Here is the article on razor blades:
http://www.bruceonshaving.com/2010/09/08/razor-blade-material-technology/
Regarding that razor blade. A post from 2010.
If true, than LQMT would have to go it alone and market it's own blade. Which would bring in a ton of $$$
And perhaps force a takeover to stop them. On the other hand the pps would skyrocket and make all happy.
Or at least sell the license rights to a major brand for a ton of $$$ to raise cash if needed.
Steaua. The post was not meant to disagree with you. It was meant to inform others who are guessing.
I sincerely apologize to you regarding the reply associated with your post.
It should have been a stand alone post.
Use the BRAIN. I know it hurts. If LQMT is in Apple IPhone. Where is the revenue? Even if LQMT is mum for any reason. The manufacturing orders would have had to be received a long time ago. Where is the $$$ revenue increase? So if LQMT is in the Apple iPhone, then you must say LQMT has extended credit to Apple. REALLY? I don't think so. So then, let us try to use the BRAIN.
When LQMT's revenue increases, then you will know they have received orders from anywhere in the world and it is not important as to who is paying them in the short term. The continuous guessing here is very sad.
The reality of pending sales is on the horizon. The announcements are coming soon.
Good luck to all.
Common sense. Those who buy at a cheaper price are wise to sell and take gains. Those also, who bought at cheaper prices and hold will sell and take larger gains. Those who bought recently and hold will profit as well.
The equity has risen solely on projected speculation on what it might be worth and conclusions based bits and pieces of data one try's to weave not on actual verifiable news from the company itself as to any contract in hand from the patents. LQMT is in a very good place. As otcbb stocks go they are always a high risk. Know the facts know the risks anticipate the rewards.
Setting most (about 95%) of the posts here aside. Eontec/LQMT will make it's revenue from it's patents by solely manufacturing orders from Apple's products and other industries. Observing those patents should permit everyone to conclude that manufacturing contracts for LQMT are no longer years away. With that in mind, whether the pps goes up or down right now, it will explode up very soon.
That said. Investing in LQMT or any other equity must never be done on rumor alone.
Good luck to all.
PayMemf. Not just the volume. The $$ in the volume is worth more even a t a lower volume compared to a pps of .001 to .030
I'll tell you what is factual. This company no longer represents LQMT:
Liolios Group, Inc.
20371 Irvine Ave
Suite A-100
Newport Beach, CA, 92660
United States.
As this site and many other sites state.
Another fact. It has been quite sometime since LQMT has closed above .040 for 3 consecutive days.
Another fact the PR/media representative as stated by LQMT, is either out to lunch, on vacation, ill, or under the desk and there is no one there to take his place or fill in, in his absence. Or no one there knows how to retrieve a message. This one falls squarely on the shoulders of the CEO.
Now all of the above is not speculation and without opinion. You decide which ones are good or no good.
Good luck to all.
Over $3 million exchanged hands today. Its a start. Without news of a sale, its a gift.
LQMT by virtue of its present value has opened its doors to a new class of investors. Those like myself who are in global wealth accounts. Before I was in a global wealth account I purchased LQMT. I have added to it recently. The rise in share price has been based on high risk takers. There are not many share holders. Hence insiders influence the price and outside share holders have very little impact.
Still not convinced that LQMT can market its product to smartphone manufacturers or that AAPL has to pay them any more $$ under the license agreement or how much more they may receive other than the sharing of certain technology that may benefit LQMT.
So even with that in mind it is quite possible/probable that there are other reasons for the pps rise. If the other reasons are the case as stated in there 10q reports, that is very good news.
Rumors here do not influence the pps. If it did, the posts on this board would have caused this equity to pop to $5.00 several times. Rather the pps of this equity is driving the rumors.
Makes for great entertainment. So let's give thanks to the risk takers, the insiders and the rumor mill. Without all of us LQMT might still be trading at .06 maybe one day soon we will also be able to give thanks to YOY revenue reports too.
Good luck to all.
At least 1 contract!!!! You have got to be kidding, guessing, joking. The company is in a constant evolution by way of R&D. It has over 100 interested commercial consumers and you believe 1 contract. THINK BIG. Think pipeline of contracts.
Regarding LQMT 's ability to sell it's products to companies for use in smart phones. I believe LQMT is restricted from doing so based on the agreement they made with Apple. I do not believe they will get royalties from Apple either. I hope I am wrong. Tell me I am wrong and that will be better than being correct.
RG1970. Your assessment is spot on. In fact LQMT benefits very little from any tax cut without revenues.
Your assessment regarding the CEO seems to be correct. But not of the posters who post facts without spin from reliable sources.
MATERION one of LQMT's partners could be the company that might benefit beryllium's use as they too have patents on many special metals developed over 10 decades.
Your right about the copying of Samsung innovations. The format is exactly what the large baby bells did after the breakup of AT&T. They watched what the competition introduced and then improved upon it, to one up their competitors or bought them out. And you would be correct about selling to other cell phone manufacturers. But not being a lawyer and without further research. I do not know if LQMT can do it. Meaning. I'm not sure if the APPL/LQMT License agreement is exclusive to APPL. And restricts LQMT from selling to another cell phone manufacturer.
Just Coincidence. Interested in AR/VR & 3d software for smartphones? Maybe you have, maybe you haven't. Check out HIMX.
MakingMine, I agree with you 100%. Bells whistles and more gadgets to employ. To sell a product from $400 and up to $1000+ and not show the integrity of construction built into the product for the consumers protection was a terrible business decision. But what do we/I know? As a shareholder of AAPL, share price and dividends are the bottom line for me. As an investor in LQMT, announcements of firm verifiable contracts will do the same.
MakingMine, there are many private companies in this field. The post was for info only. However, if anyone forgets, there is plenty of room and the demand for liquid metal manufacturers. As there are for US steel companies, pharmaceutical companies, smart phone companies etc. one company cannot supply the world.
Competition brings on innovation. Good luck

Researchfyi
From reading the thoughts from the posts here I get a strong feeling that most here are lost and using some sort of brail by touch or smell to explain positive or negative movement in LQMT. So let me get this straight. An outside investor poured $millions of dollars into this company from another company, bought a new headquarters, bought new equipment and on and on, and why? To FAIL. I think not!!!
If the outsider read some of the posts here about his company. I would think that he would be ashamed for most of the posts that doubt his intentions to succeed. The guessing, the chasing and the rumors are silly, based on fear, innuendo and gossip. However some here try to post the facts. This is not the first time LQMT has dropped a nickel or has gone up a nickel. Did you by the stock to make a quarter? If so, take your gains and move on.
It makes perfect sense for traders to sell when they make a profit. It makes sense for the stock to drop. But I get the feeling that many here are in it for more than a quarter to the upside. Relax, breathe and give the new CEO a little room to open the doors and celebrate. Do you really believe the CEO bought LQMT to throw his money down the drain? I think not!!!
You know the potential uses for LQMT. But with new patents more doors open up. LQMT WAS NOT BOUGHT OUT FOR IT's REVENUE. It was bought out for it's patents!!!! LQMT has limitations. But to the right industries the use of liquid metal/bulk metal glass can have an enormous value in revenue as well.
This post sounds so critical. But I am just trying to focus on the bigger picture and not the dots on the iii's and the crosses on the ttt's.
Good luck to all. It was not meant to be critical.
I can only speak for myself. I do not dismiss anyone's information. I check it out and see where it leads to and how my family, friends and interested investors can benefit from it. As a rule it is a good idea to invest without emotion. Many investors/traders invest understandably with emotion as observed here. Long term investors will buy and hold, have a stop loss and add as an investment climbs, and take the profits. This cannot be done with a penny stock unless one likes to watch paint dry. Hence the ever increasing emotion for most of the traders here. It is not healthy to become attached to an equity. Unless you are talking about AAPL, KMB or MO. AAPL is the new kid on the block. The other two date back to the first stock market crash.
Being attached to a small cap sometimes can force missteps of when to sell, when to buy and when to add.
LQMT can hit .45 .50 but probably not much more without revenue or a buyout.
In 18 months it went up 650% .06 to .39.
The probability of doing that again is nil. It would put the pps at $2.55. LQMT would have a cap of 2.25 billion.
It would require a pipe line of contracts. Or a huge reoccurring one, which would put an investment in a fragile state. Diversity in contracts and revenue growth YOY, would lead LQMT to a mid cap stock. That is the potential for this one. One step at a time.
I hope I did not give you that impression of discounting your info. Good luck to all.
The company for those patents is private. It's name is Desktop Metal Inc. They use the MIM Liquid metal process. A less expensive process for developing liquid metal. But the quality of the metal in the LQMT process is superior to the MIM Process. These 3D printers right now require the MIM process. Meaning for all to understand, they require the metal to be in a powdered form to be heated to make the desired product.
If you need more info. Just google the company. If you need more info/data on MIM vs LQMT it is available as well.
Just that everyone should know, not that anyone asked. There seems to be an attitude or thought process here, that going in and out of this equity contributed towards some of its pps increase. That could only be true if trade volume decreased over the course of a year discounting insider trades. So take a look at the volume over the course of a year. Is it up or down. If it is down then existing traders are not long term investors. They become long term equity timers. It works as long as the pps decreases as demand volume decreases and an equity spikes on rumors/news. But you lose when real/new money comes in. The question then becomes is this new money long term or short term. If volume is increasing slowly, IMO, it is long term, and as I stated due to LQMT 's new market cap of over $300 million with over $2 million in assets, now permits another class of investors to take an interest in LQMT. It is based based on simple logic and basic math. Going in and out will not increase the pps. New money will. Revenue will. Whether you have a sale or no revenue, new money will raise the pps. And if it is not coming from existing investors, than it is coming from new ones. No matter what the reason it is a positive for LQMT. Not that anyone asked. Can LQMT drop to .15 yes. Can it reach .80 or $1.00 yes. Without contracts and only expectations of one, drops are normal. With new money and contract announcements, spikes are normal. So why all the mood swings? Because it normal and sometimes due to a lack of understanding. I have been an investor in LQMT for seven years now ever since it appeared on national geographic. I have added to it on dips and spikes. It is the only penny equity I own. The patents and potential use are enormous. There are 4 other companies that produce liquid metal/bulk metal glass for their total revenue. Of these four liquid metal tech. Has the most potential. Good luck to all. Sorry for the rant.
Very sound thinking. I too do not know of any elevator that only goes up.
LQMT @.39 above 300 mil. Have added to my position. Will add more next week.
