If you hold shares for a year, you get quite a savings in long term capital gaines.....
If you buy and sell, and its "First in First Out" unless you tell your brokerage to do it different...
like Last In First Out..., then you'll never get to "Long Term Hold"...so, I guess its best to change
how its figured with your broker...to "Last In First Out".....I should have done that.
If I'm wrong about this, please, any one speak up.
Yes, when I sold the 20%, my brokerage charts showed me how much profit I made....
it was nice to see.
Yes, it sounds good. And more CIP patents....is it this year that the adding of more patents to the CIP will end??
I thought it already happened early last year, but not from the date on a recent Patent.
Wont manufacturing costs also come from economies of scale? And weren't some of Lis patents
for a different combination of metal that is much cheaper?
I'm lost in the DD. I can't keep up with it...or remember that much that's been going on.
But APPLE brining back $250 Billion along with hiring 20,000 more people...is HUGE....
and FOXCON going to Wisconsin...
Plus we're FREEZING here in Orlando.
Yes, I sold 20% and it made a lot of difference in my anxiety level about the stock. I can hold the rest
for this year....
Good grief...with all your buying I thought you may be up to about a Million......
so its nice to know your down with the rest of us middle class, struggling to become elites..
without the attitude.....but I may pick up the attitude if this hits $5 a share. "Jeeves, more wine".
With the $250 Billion Apple is bringing back to the US, and Foxconn is moving to Wisconsin...
Apple also said they will be hiring 20,000 more employees...so some in the business sector
are speculating that more APPLE manufacturing will be coming to the US.
Its the Mystical 23.
From this mornings posts, it seems we are on the cusp of greatness, but I sure wish the PPS would start reflecting it.
ready to face 2018.
CONFUSED.....when does APPLE stop putting patents into the CIP??
News out this evening...APPLE is bringing back from overseas accounts about $250 BILLION....
after Tax of about 48 Billion....thanks to the new Tax Cuts.....
APPLE has plans for it....I forget the details on that.....but it happened....all that money is coming home...and with it, perhaps manufacturing.....something Jobs said would never happen.
It was the cost partly, but I think the real stopper was the limited size of item that could be made.
I think that's what stopped many of the RFQ's. But there was no real money to do the RFQ's anyway.
We were sold a bill of goods while Steipp negotiated with Li. All the RFQ's were for show....
but they are going back to them, for another evaluation.
SIZE MATTERS....the cost on some items may have been justifiable.....if it cut down failure rates...
such as gears....
My 2 Cents.....
I agree...the last executive blog listed several items that could result in large contracts.....
and those items are being made....now. All non CE.
Well, I scratched off my Lamborghini......if this thing takes off to a good extent....I'm going to sell
the house and move to the Villages....biggest retirement community in the US. And get a fancy golf cart to drive around in.
My Bucket List continues to change...
LOL !!!!!
Next year around this time we will all be on some exotic island at a resort, laughing at how long it took,
but realizing it was worth it.
Yes, I may have flu fever and am delirious......I'm going to make a hot cup of cocoa and go to bed
and watch TV.
So VERY tired of losing.
I've decided I was chosen to be the practical joke of the "Gods".
Over 3 Million shares now....but I'm not going to try and figure it out.
"Sailing down the river in a boat,
without rudder or oar,
The whole thing is becoming
an expensive bore."
LOL.
Please, keep some for food.
Gawd, I hate this "nothing burger" time of no contracts because it leads to paranoia OR clearer thinking.
We won't know until the "large boned lady sings". (trying to be PC).
We are still at a state where if all falls through we'll be able to ask..."why didn't I see this coming",
or if LQMT goes through the roof, we can say, "it was obvious what Li was trying to do".
I hate it.
Thanks...
No. There has to be a significant contract. The "samples" that are now being made may be more
than samples. And Europe approves medical devices more quickly than the US...(I'm guessing).
And the excitement starts to build again.
MAKE IT SO DATA.
Well, some have 401's.....and I imagine if we were all in another stock....it would only have gone up
maybe 5%. Why? Because we'd have the stock. Or we could each have been in a different stock
and still only get lackluster results. And LQMT did go from 6 cents...to 40 cents....for those that timed it
correctly. So we can't beat ourselves up about it. Now if someone had gotten into TESLA when it was
$30 a share and sold it at $30 a share....then they would be obliged to beat themselves up......
but I only know one person that did that....
Seems like some are propping the PPS up to that exact price, doesn't it.....
Hmmmmm.
True, and EONTEC has its own patents, for larger pieces. Would there be a trade off with APPLE??
Apple products also have Samsung parts. Trade Offs.
And yes, if the latest executive blog can be trusted....production of items is being done now. Items that
can be sold on the open market.
There, I had a slice of pizza, some pepsi so I'm feeing better.
But like many, I'm tired of waiting, but if it doesn't happen this year, it aint' going to happen.
So, both eventually will be penny stocks. How nice.
And thus ends my lifetime of investment disasters. Well, at least I get a perfect score.
: - (
Hopefully there will be counter point posts....but it will just be more guessing.
The "sell" button becomes more tempting as I empty out my Bucket List...of things I wanted,
but don't anymore. Maturity has its advantages.
I'm reading posts but its all going over my head. I hope its good news.
I'm having no trouble......but I go in over google I guess...on my IMAC....not a member...
It boggles the mind on what could be happening. Before we had silence and nothing was happening but we dreamed big things were happening...even though all the proof was that nothing was happening...
well, there was something BIG happening. Negotiations were in process for Li to come in. That's like a SUPER NOVA.
But here we are again, a HUGE change....but yet, paranoia can still set in...even with executive blogs.
Partly because of past history, and partly because all of the alternative dots that can be connected.
If it does prove good...then I have enough shares to make me happy even below $1. If it doesn't....
I brought back enough cash so I'm not going to the food bank.
I don't get as frustrated now. Its kind of like carrying an Albatross around ones neck. Eventually you get used to the weight.
And I got interested in writing...which I love doing if I can keep procrastination away......and I can start
making a plan for an upgrade on a bathroom that has been "in process" for at least two years I think.
I'm afraid to look at the pictures and find out just how long its been "out of order".
I am TIRED of the dam journey......and maybe you had some bad burritos at Taco Bell.
; - (
NEWS?? IS THERE ANY NEWS???? Please, ....Li....please.....tell me about the
tire pressure gauge device and BMW and FORD....and the MILLION UNIT CONTRACT....
Okay...back to the drudgery....
Oh, a man 20 years old in Florida won the Mega Power Ball....he's taking the lump sum....
about $228 Million....he doesn't have to come here every day and check on a penny stock....
gawd.
I'm listening to NPR radio. About high tech and China at a tech convention. China is building its own
electric cars....and we all discussed when Steipp was on board, the issue of concentrating
on Europe and Asia or the US. Steipp chose the US at first, even though European companies are more apt to adopt newer ideas. So Li may be making many more contacts in China in using LiquidMetal,
and of course the US will have to catch up. China also going full bore on robots and AI.
Thank goodness the business tax was dropped to 21%. I had hoped for lower, but at least the US has a chance now. MAGA.
We closed green and its Friday. By now you must accept that we have to be grateful for any crumbs
that fall from the table of dreams we have for LQMT.
This is more like a script for the Twilight Zone, written by Rod Serling.
We are trapped in a cage, and we can't get out, or so we tell ourselves. But yet we know the door
to the cage is unlocked. We stay in the cage because we all are convinced if we do, one day we will become rich just by sitting in the cage.
Cut and Print.
The dream is one significant contract that will show investors the direction...and the unlimited possibilities and the PPS could be a consistent move upward....into the dollars. But it will also depend on the competition and Li's position in the competition.
No, this is my last year.
Well, we've all been here for some time and for some years....and we stayed saying..."this will be THE
YEAR"....as we were pulled along into numerous years....
But I truly believe for many and me....this WILL be the last year...forget the NDA crap on prototypes...
I'm out this year....then I'll just watch FOX NEWS until the GRIM REAPER knocks on the door.
Can't blame you for wanting to go "all in". I used to do that when I still had decades ahead of me
to make up for mistakes. I don't have that anymore. Oh, if only. I had AOL right at its start,
about $20K worth...holding would have gotten me over $2 Million and I could have quit my
"walking dead" job in the government. I know, we all have stories like this.
I also wish we were moving a little faster...a few more machines in the building, and a tire pressure
gauge contract with BMW. That would make me happy.
But since I Rbought back some cash FROM my stock account...I can spend my time fixing up a bathroom, writing my life story....(its a doozie)...and travel around Florida, and also the Theme Parks.
I always wanted to do scuba....but I realized Im scared of sharks...VERY SCARED.
I logged on for news...foolish me.....so I'll get to the gym.
If I've wasted anyones time with some personal antidotes....I apologize for the 25 seconds I stole from you.
GOOD LUCK...I ALSO AM TIRED OF WAITING.
About all the talk about Houck:
First, many of us guessed that all the RFQ's never came to fruition....because of cost and size.
Next: From Li's own Blog, its explained why insiders sold. In black and white and on record. Are some suggesting Li is lying about this? That there is bad news ahead and he is covering for his employees selling?? Thats' a bit dangerous isn't it??
Next his high pay: Well, perhaps, but he also was unable to do anything...again, the cost of the metal was too high for anyone to change metals in their product. And again, SIZE CONSTRAINTS....
Now we have it in writing of about five items that are being made NOW...without a contract....as "demos",
but also they are items that could be sold to car manufacturers and hospitals...and anything that has gears in critical areas.
Also, they are going back to all those older RFQ's, to re evaluate because now larger size items can be made at a cheaper cost.....
So where is the BEEF?? Seems like things are moving along.
Yes. No low hanging fruit on that list.....all high demand high revenue. And Li has the inside
techical support to make them all.
They are working on those examples that he listed in his latest blog. We all have different understandings when we read notices, but I thought his was pretty specific. Pressure gauges,
gears, a specific medical device and a couple of others. You can't go out and "sell" until you have
a bag of goodies to display. He indicated that's what LQMT is doing NOW...plus going back to past RFQ's
where the prices are now lower. And I think that medical device and the pressure gauge is being made
specially for sale to certain customer....not as an example....
Before Paul didn't have squat to work with. Now he will. And there may be a different arrangement
in the cost of making prototypes. I'm not sure but I think with Steipp the customer was charged for the prototype development because STEIPP had other uses for that money.
