Thank you for clarifying that Watts. Didn't the golf clubs shatter after prolonged use?
The one thing we do not know for sure is, is/was that $64 million Professor Li's money or investors, acquaintances, etc. I'm not being a bear. I'm actually VERY BULLISH on the stock, I'm just being realistic.
No one has shown anyone proof of where that money came from. And if they have, I would love to see it.
I'm just trying to keep it real my friend. What's the chart telling you now? -29.8% is what it's telling me. :) Totally joking... :)
Lol... Listing to the Beach Boys.
Chart resistance? What on earth are y'all talking about? That's right... You don't know what you're talking about. For Christ sakes there was less than $700 traded all day yesterday. The only way this thing is going to take off is a nice pump and dump. No one is buying this crap. I only bought a few shares because I believe I see a pump in dump coming in the next few months.
Professor Li... Where are you?
Is this gross or net? At $5.00 a piece for ear phones, how are they supposed to make a profit? What are they making fifty cents a piece or $50,000 net off these so called ear phones? I can't see how that would even be worth plugging in a machine.
I'm kind of confused as to why everyone is so interested in Liquidmetal golf clubs when medical is where the money is.
Liquidmetal golf clubs are dead to me.
Thanks for sharing. It looks good. I figure they put together about 7 pages a year. lol...
I got an email today but the marketing department forgot the link. SMH...
DISPOSABLE MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS: THE NEW TREND IN HEALTHCARE
Posted by Marielba Cancel on Sep 8, 2016 3:00:00 PM
Each day, more healthcare professionals are switching from reusable instruments to disposable, single-use ones. There are several reasons why this tendency is growing, and will continue to grow in the years to come.
Improperly cleaned reprocessed instruments pose genuine threats to patients. Plainly stated, would you like to have someone else’s blood clot, dead tissue or bone residue inside your body? Some instruments, like laparoscopic and endoscopic ones, have movable and sophisticated parts that are difficult to clean. Even after following the manufacturer’s instructions thoroughly, microscopic human remains can be lodged in medical devices. Apparently, the well-known autoclave cleaning and disinfection process has not evolved in parallel to medical device technology. As a result, operating with improperly cleaned instruments puts patients at a high risk of surgical site infections (SSI), healthcare-associated infections (HAI) and cross-contamination. Disposable instruments are sterilized and individually packaged. They are meant for single-use and then discarded.
Reusable instruments’ hidden costs. Some people might think that single-use instruments are a waste of money. In fact, the truth is reusables end up being more expensive. There are many hidden costs that go hand in hand with reusables. Take for example a pair of 4½” scissors at $25. Add to that a reasonable cost of the hospital to reprocess it at $5 each, add transportation costs to the autoclave facility, the cleaning microbicides and other items needed for disinfection, and another cost for packing them up, plus the human resources required in the process. After 10 uses, the scissors might need re-sharpening, which adds another cost. A single-use disposable pair of scissors might cost around $7.50, and although disposing of them after one use might seem wasteful, in the end, more resources and more money is spent on reusables. Besides, new technological breakthrough contributes to the production of higher quality instruments at lower costs. To the naked eye, it’s very hard to tell which pair of scissors offers the best quality, which is another reason why reusables are becoming less popular than their disposable counterparts.
Waste. Biomedical waste is an obvious and inevitable by-product of the healthcare industry. Unfortunately, once used, disposable instruments fall into the category of biomedical waste and should be discarded of accordingly. All materials and devices that have been contaminated with blood, bodily fluids, secretions or excretions are considered hazardous materials and should be handled as biomedical waste. Improper management of this type of waste can end up in leaks that may lead to contamination and infection. This brings up another possible argument; disposable medical instruments are not environmentally friendly.
Hospitals around the world produce large amounts of medical waste in a year, mostly coming from operating rooms. “The U.S. healthcare system is the second largest contributor to the 4 billion pounds of waste produced annually. As such, production of medical waste is one of the most critical factors to consider” when evaluating a medical device. However, for every problem, there is a solution. In many cases, as with plastic, the stainless steel used to make disposable instruments can be recycled. On the other hand, reusable instruments require thorough decontamination processes that need large amounts of water, disinfectants, detergents, specialized brushes, steam and electricity to process them for re-use. Think about the ecological impact these detergents and disinfectants have on the environment. This should be equally measured when comparing single-use disposables that get recycled.
In conclusion, even though the topic of biomedical waste may be a cause of concern, it should not be taken as a threat. More recycling options are being developed each day as environmental concerns continue to rise. Risk and spread of infection is, and should be, the most important issue for all healthcare professionals. Overall, single-use instruments are proving to be a highly attractive alternative; and a more cost-efficient and time-saving method to prevent cross-contamination and the spread of disease.

Can you provide the link for this as well please. Just disposable (recyclable) laparoscopes would be a multi billion dollar market.
Something is definitely NOT going on!
Yes sir, it did show up by mistake. I've seen it happen more than once.
Would you please provide us with the link for this. Thank you!
Do you have the link for this? Thank you!
Arg... I hate when this happens. this is the second time I've sen this happen with Liquidmetal. Maybe we should dump Liquidmetal and invest in Liquidia? LOL...
Lol... I'm glad you can joke about it. :) And then there was the butter tray sample at the original open house. I'm sure Li is not making any chess set, pocket knives or bridge pins.
Yeah I heard they were sent out in ziplocks basically. I pray that God Professor leak and get it together. I still say that the most profitable product they could ever make is a recyclable laparoscope. They are starting to use more and more disposables because of the infection rate in the fact that they cannot get the devices clean no matter how hard they try. I was just talking to someone yesterday about this and I got to report a long time ago from a guy that that says the Disposable laparoscopic or if they were to use Liquidmetal "recyclable" laparoscopic market is worth billions.
Don't get me wrong I think the knife design was incredible and a great display of what can be done with liquidmetal. However, I would love to know how well the blade holds an edge after cutting everything.
True story... I'm included.
LOL... Guitar bridge pins and useless pocket knives are the thing of the future. Didn't you know that?! Duh...
Very nice!
Look at the website on the following link. E-Ande (HK) Limited - Hong Kong [Bloomberg] is Eontec. I'm starting to get worried about ya'll, maybe loosing some faith in ya'lls due diligence. :) Follow this link and look at the logo.
Oh shit! That's funny. :)
What are you guessing the revenue will be this quarter? I'm going to guess it is at least $250k (I know individual loan officer that produce that kind of revenue for a company monthly). Are you nervous or should I say "do you have any nerves left after 15-years of this"? I sure hope that is why Professor Li has not addressed us is because he's different than all the rest and does not run his mouth or "need" to run his mouth. Yes, it sucks for us shareholders... It really doesn't matter what the share price is today or tomorrow to Professor Li, if he "knows" the company will be a huge success.
I feel it's better for the overall stability of the share price for Professor Li to NOT announce anything that is not real.
I truly am sorry Watts... I cannot imagine 15 years...
I know huh...? I bought originally in July 2014.
I'm excited but nervous
Yes sir
I just hope we have some revenue this quarter. Even 250k would be something for the time being.
Yes. The move was based on 50,000 shares sold for 0.0074 / $370.00. It was meaningless...
I never heard Tom Steipp say anything like it. He did say he had 25 million in RFQs his last year there and none of that has come to fruition.
I have a strong feeling that things are coming together behind the scenes / the curtain. I think it's about time to stop by there and see what's going on. Investors relations hasn't called me back, so why not stop by right? lol...
I've got everything my family has in this sl company. I'm aware of the risk and the upside potential. However, I have done my own due diligence and o see us heading in a positive direction.
Anyone who would dump their life savings into Liquidmetal or any company based on what Jason Bond says, in my opinion is not very smart (ignorant). It's pretty obvious to me that the guy has a severe case of NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder).
I can see them all now, sitting around in a circle like in preschool. Oh... And then there's nap time. :) lol...
What I find interesting is that Tom Steipp said many times that this is a young man's stock and I don't believe he's sold any shares, or has he?
Yeah and I'm sure we don't even own the building. The building is in the name of another LLC.
I pray to God Professor Li, isn't a Lugee. :) lol... Lugee - The wad of phlegm that comes up when one is coughing, or hacking (making a gagging sound in order to bring up a Lugee).
Waiting patiently myself...
CA real estate IS definitely a better investment than the Yuan. lol...
I was just joking. :)
