Does anybody here know how many customers Engel has?
How many of them are in Medical?
If Engel were to vouch for Liquidmetal, how many of these manufacturers would be willing to invest a minimal investment in one emotion machine designed for Liquidmetal injection modeling and a few molds.
Medical devices are a multi billion dollar industry. These companies will not sweat a $1 million investment!!!!
I love how the sale of 136,000 shares can cause a drop of 6%. It's hilarious.
Engel has more than one machine but Apple will prepurchase the future supply. They did this with CNC machines when they decided to make MacBooks out of aluminum. This is why Apple can compete with a fat margin where others can not.
Let me know if you might want to meet up sometime in SF for coffee. I would go out to Stockton but I sold my car as I don't need it anymore
I bet Hauck was busy prepping for the Engel event as I'm sure he will be on hand to answer alloy specific questions from attendees.
Is anybody on this board from San Francisco?
$1 per share would = a comfortable life for me. :)
$5 per share would mean I'd have to start creating a legacy plan for 4 Generations.
Watts,
How big of an industry did Steipp project BMGs will be in 2017? Didn't he say 15 billion?
I have been watching volume closely as well. It is concerning but also means if we get another day of monumental trading (100m shares), this will jump hard
Let's be honest.
1. No company cares HOW it is manufactured.
2. All that matters is final tolerances, physical properties and profit margin.
3. Why can only 70-80 gram final pieces be used? Why can't they inject a big ingot into a big machine and get a big part?
Imagine if you could make a Brompton out of Liquidmetal...
That would be great. Much thinner, much lighter..
The real crutch holding LQMT back is the 80 Gram maximum usable shot.
If Apple or LQMT were able to make parts that were much larger, then this would get bought immediately.
Razor blades!!!!
That is what every adult on the planet needs. Make blades that are stronger and don't dull quickly!
I will give Gorgol this!!!
When the domino effect starts (if ever) then this will grow exponentially.
Think about how fast the MIM industry has grown. If we can prove our technology works without all the manufacturing steps and post processing, then this will ultimately be a winner. (Fingers crossed)
Apple will enter into any legitimate market it can disrupt.
With the new HealthKit, it is conceivable that apple will discover a novel idea and make something that is high margin for its new medical partners. Yes, medical devices!
Is this from an article?
I know you're referring to Miltner Adams but is this a press release and if so, do you have a link!
I believe they could easily ship a bunch of these knives to the show. They don't need to sell thousands of knives at a show. They just need to have enough!
You think this can drop back to $0.05 per share again?
I'm not so sure. I honestly think this thing could run fast if they start securing contracts.
If LQMT ever becomes a 3D Printing play, then would it be considered tech?
If so, then what would it trade for?
$1 per share would be very difficult to achieve but if we get a major parts order and start signing customers to contracts, it is not outside of the realm of reality as everything in technology is priced based off of future projected growth.
If we start achieving scalable growth, then $1 per share is possible.
Does anybody know what the short interest is in LQMT currently?
I am curious because YTD, we have had a lot of days where there is a higher selling volume than buying volume. I am curious how many of these shares might have been borrowed by shorts.
Hopefully, it's a huge amount and then this thing jumps violently forcing them to cover their positions. I would love to see that happen.
So many new parents being approved. We are getting close.
I am secretly wondering if this is similar to The instant heating of amorphous alloys employed by William Johnson (I think that's his name).
Anyway, I'm glad to see Stevick's name on this!
Price will fall with volumes.
We need to assume MIM has become more competitive as it has been adopted by industries. This blow by blow comparison won't accurately reflect the true cost as MIM is a multi billion dollar industry and LQMT is not.
I am tired reading about Steipp being Christian. Who cares about how he labels his religious beliefs. A lot of religious people are crooks, thieves and liars. It has nothing to do with liquidmetal or its lack of progress. It just means that if he practices, then he is very boring on Sunday's! That is all it means.
I would be thrilled if we were bought
What about the sheets patent that was submitted by Apple?
Has that been completed, approved and granted?
$25,000 for the quarter = $275 per day.
Wow. They suck!
I earned $32,000 in January.
Regardless of who it was, somebody wanted out
Look at the volume. Damn!! :)
Today could end well or could end very badly. I guess we'll find out at 4:30
Watts,
You constantly complain but you haven't done anything to build out the commercializations for LQMT. What have you done?
The technology needs to be commercialized. That takes time. Barney adviser got "in the way". He slowed down progress. Now we're back on track and things are slowly progressing. If we are at $0.15/ share today, that is three times high than we were two years ago.
If we get another nuclear piece of news that sends us into the stratosphere, maybe we'll have another 200% gain in a day. That would make this $0.60/share.
At that value, I'd be a very happy camper
Honestly, the timeline is not far off considering the amount of time Visser wasted.
My number is not a projection, it's called hope.
If LQMT is able to start making some positive revenues, then hopefully it becomes a turn around play. It may get a PE multiple that can be quantified. If we receive more adoption from the market, then hopefully the market cap receives a valuation of 500 million which is about $1/share
This company is worth what it is worth with exactly zero customers. If we sign a few customers and actually begin manufacturing, then our value should rise and it could rise fast. This is new technology (injection molding of our alloy)
I hope we get to 1/2 a billion in valuation. How sweet that would be.
I believe I have identified the exact gold BMG Apple is using for the Apple Watch Edition.
This is the text from the video of Jony Ive describing the manufacturing process.

Apple Watch Edition: Gold
Text by Jonny Ive:
We wanted to appeal to a wide range of personal styles. So with Apple Watch Edition, we're working with a uniquely luxurious metal, 18 carat solid gold. We're using both yellow and rose gold. Each is a custom alloy designed to be not only beautiful, but up to twice as hard as standard gold.
It begins at the molecular level where precise adjustments in the amount of silver, copper and palladium in the alloy result in very specific hues of yellow and rose gold. Next, we use a new hardening process developed by our metallurgists to strengthen a metal that is naturally very soft.
The molten gold is cast not into the shape of the watch but into solid ingots. These ingots are then precisely milled to remove any imperfections. They are then compressed to a fraction of their original size creating dense pore free billets. Ultrasonic scanners are used to detect even the most minute defects in the metal. From these solid billets, we machine the watch housing as well as individual components like the digital crown and the clasps for our straps. Finally, each case is hand polished to an immaculate sheen by highly skilled jewelry artisans.
The result is gold that is elegant yet uncompromisingly durable.

Now go to www.google.com and search for "gold bulk metallic glass"
There is a link (PDF) Gold based bulk metallic glass - California Institute of Technology. by J. Schroers 2005.
Gold-based bulk metallic glass alloys based on Au–Cu–Si are introduced. The alloys exhibit a gold content comparable to 18-karat gold. They show very low liquidus temperature, large supercooled liquid region, and good processibility. The maximum casting thickness exceeds 5 mm in the best glassformer. Au49Ag5.5Pd2.3Cu26.9Si16.3 has a liquidus temperature of 644 K, a glass transition temperature of 401 K, and a supercooled liquid region of 58 K. The Vickers hardness of the alloys in this system is ??350 Hv, twice that of conventional 18-karat crystalline gold alloys. This combination of properties makes the alloys attractive for many applications including electronic, medical, dental, surface coating, and jewelry. © 2005 American Institute of Physics.
Hey Mura Hachibu,
Please reference Post 4959.
Are you still feeling this way?
Tvasile,
I'm curious where you honestly believe this will be trading once it gets a medical contract or two.
Have you guys seen Kenneth Hardy at Liquidmetal Welding!!
What the hell is Liquidmetal Welding?
I know this message will get flagged but I just want to say I am so glad those assholes and thieves didn't get their compensation package!
Fuck em!
This post shouldn't be removed because it's honest and appropriate. Kudos to all who see it before it gets removed.
It's so close they are looking for a hanging chad. LMAO
