Much lower volume so far today... 80.3K in the first half hour of trading vs 1.19 million yesterday. It looks like profits were taken yesterday (as should be expected with any stock that increases so much in a few days) and now the waters are still as we await NEWS! Come on Otis, give us a press release!
Rather than reverting to the glass sandwich design of the iPhone 4 series, it's more likely that the front will be glass and the frame and back of the device will be bulk metallic glass. So, it'll be "all glass" in that it's glass and BMGlass...
1.19 million shares traded up 5.08% in first half hour.
Can you elaborate on "purchase talks"? What rumors are you referring to, and can you provide links please? Thanks!
Wait, why are there molds for iPhone 7???????

I acknowledge it could be a completely false rumor, but I don't believe there have been molds for the iPhone external case since the PLASTIC 3GS...
Does this rumor herald BMG use???
Not true... Apple could bleed its suppliers to death but it does not. Name a company that Apple has killed (other than GTAT which I suspect was much more a prima donna's suicide than anything else)...
I wholeheartedly agree. Apple is not a jerk. Apple is a tough negotiator, but Apple does not bleed its partners to death. Liquidmetal will be rewarded...
For the love of God, it's Eontec, not Enotech
Thank you rige for always asking the same questions of the board that I ask myself. I think that you and I are both LQMT bulls, but we ask for tight logic so that we can truly BELIEVE the hopeful words. This board has several Debbie Downers, and several "Pumpers" (who I do not believe are actually pumpers... they are just really positive optimistic people). What it lacks is cautiously optimistic folks, and I always enjoy your posts. Not that you give a shh, but thanks for posting good stuff!
... except that processors get old. In-destructible does not equate to anti-obsolescense.
Until Apple gets fed up with American tax laws and relocates to greener pastures, they will never give other countries better products than they give Americans. The only exception is that they might release lower-end products in emerging markets to meet market demand, but they'll never deprive America of flagship products.
Can you format this stuff so it makes sense to anyone other than yourself? You constantly post this jumbled mix of alphanumerical characters with zero formatting and zero opinion about what it means. I can gather from contextual clues that it has something to do with short selling volume, but please enlighten the board with your analysis instead of just dumping a copy/paste on us all the time.
Two possible answers:
1) He expects the share price to go above $0.16
2) He took a loss to acquire the IP
Li's $63,400,000 investment will be worth $405,000,000 if he can coax the price up to $1/share. Not a bad return. That sounds like pretty good motivation to me.
I want to believe this... can you state how Liquidmetal will earn revenue if Eontec manufactures BMGs for Apple? Let's be sure the logic is tight so we can convince ourselves and the pessimists on the board this is true! Thanks in advance!
The shareholder vote has been fulfilled... can you show evidence that all of the "certain conditions" have been met? I think they pertain to Apple so you and I will never know exactly what they are. We'll only know "they've" been met once Li fully invests.
I bet this is one of the "certain conditions" that must be met...
You make it sound like there's $1 billion in debt, which there most certainly is not.
I couldn't agree more. People seem blind to this because he somehow got his shares "for free". It's a very flawed logic used by those who think Steipp doesn't care about the share price.
Mr. Market is only rational in the long-term, and the rules of financial physics that govern the big boards require liquidity and broad exposure to all types of investors. Those rules break down in the land of penny stocks where volume and exposure are limited. News about Apple is sensational whereas Li is a relatively unknown enigma. And, investor fatigue resulting from lots of lost momentum (blame Steipp or whoever you want to for the failed promises) has taken over.
That said, I'd rather see a sluggish start to the day followed by an increase in volume coupled with rising share price vs a hot start followed by loss of interest and declining share price.
Let's just be happy to be up 10% WITHOUT any revenue-producing PR.
1.46 million shares traded so far today.
I maintain $0.181!
TELL US ALL!!!
"Speaking at his company's annual shareholder meeting, Catcher Chairman and Chief Executive Allen Horng said Apple plans to unveil an iPhone with a glass casing and a metal frame, according to Nikkei. He said the metal frame for the glass-exterior phone will require "advanced processing technology," and that it won't be cheap to manufacture.cheap to manufacture."[/quote]
"advanced processing technology" sounds a lot like BMG.

Do we expect some sort of PR at market close today??
Your viewpoint fails to factor in the huge up-side to every employee who has received "free" shares if the stock moves higher. Whether or not they "paid" for their shares, they stand to make a huge amount of money if they can push the pps higher, and any perspective that ignores this incentive is flawed.
Another positive from the Li/Eontec deal is the ability to buy out the competition. If Eontec bought out competitors, LQMT would benefit.
And the great news is that when we get above $1 there should be a lot of pent up demand from fund managers currently limited by their charters... this will counteract us little guys who plan to sell when it reaches $1...
But this is different because Li is on the board, right? He won't let his investment disintegrate.
Once LQMT rises above $1, Wall Street WILL be all over it. But to get it up to that level, the share price relies mostly on individual investors who believe in the technology and the business. Investment managers are largely prevented from buying high-risk microcaps by their charters. I'm sure there are lots of folks watching this who are eager to jump in once LQMT gets to a point where it no longer violates their charters...
The irony is that any longs, by definition, are either optimistic on LQMT long-term or insane. You don't buy and hold shares if you think the stock will sink long-term, unless you are insane. So, for all those who are determined this ship will sink, sell your shares and move on!
You are so right! This company is a PERFECT opportunity for a serious entrepreneur to come in, clean house, and introduce EXTREMELY basic business principles to turn this mess into a success! The technology side clearly matters here, but the basic business needs to be run like a first-rate company in order to attract first-rate customers. I'm so excited for Lugee Li to turn this train around. The website looks like a placeholder for a 1-person startup. It screams of bad wordpress template, poorly customized, by a friend-of-a-friend's child who is still in web design school. I'm with you, DMN. Marketing Mattersâ„¢.
When I got my MBA at a Top 5 business school, I learned that the Sales role becomes irrelevant when you have great Marketing for a great product (meaning that sales become self-fulfilling). The current site looks like it's for a penny stock. I sure hope it gets an upgrade soon after the Lugee Li deal goes through.
Shouldn't the ASHM qualify as an "Upcoming Event" on the corporate website? Who is the webmaster and why do they suck so badly?
$160,000 does seem to be a large "pre-production" order. So what do we think a pre-production order is... 1% of the full production quantity? Does that seem reasonable to people out there who know these things? If so... AWESOME!
What is your interpretation of this news?
By definition, Liquidmetal is Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG).
But you don't have to sell your shares unless they are priced favorably for you...
