I still stand by prediction of the new electrical service being turned on ‘’bout
Halloween.
Just because there is conduit run and wires pulled does not mean there is electricity running through them.
Sorry fellas, I only see overwhelming evidence LQMT is not invited to the party.
Right or wrong if Apple were to sue, LQMT would still have to protect itself.
The cost of defense will eat up a lot of that money in LQMTs bank account.
In addition, if today's LQMT refuses to pick up the telephone during normal business hours, can't update a website, can't write a two paragraph press release, or sit for a 45 minute conference call with investors; you expect management to sit down for depositions??? Yeah right; I think you are forgetting the lack of integrity our leadership has.
There is one thing an allegation by Apple of patent infringement would put to rest for all us LQMT investors.....never again could we muse of an Apple product using LQMT.
I think the million dollar question is IF any of these phone manufacturers use BMG in a new device how are they going to do so and not infringe on any Crucible Entertainment existing patents???
After all, much of the forward progress in BMG technology LQMT has made over the past 5 years has been in conjunction with Apple/Crucible.
Thats the million dollar question I'm asking.....potential millions of dollars in attorney fees.
I would show up early just to watch the orange Lamborghinies pull in one right after another. Cool
Todays value of Lugee Li's personally held shares $204,022.50.
A far cry from the millions some folks here think he personally invested.
BTW, Tom Steipp has about 5 times more skin in the game than Lugee.
LQMT OWNERSHIP/INSIDERS:
Lugee Li 1,360,150 shares
Ricardo Salas 5,097,611 shares
Tom Steipp 6,710,893 shares
Liquidmetal Technology LTD 405,000,000 shares
Are you saying BBoy that you know who owns Liquidmetal Technology LTD? If so, please share w/ links so I can verify.
Why Lugee Li is not the owner of LQMT?
Because that 46% of existing shares were bought in the name of Liquidmetal Technology LTD and we do not know who comprises this located in Hong Kong outfit.
You may be one of the few who think Lugee Li pulled out a checkbook out of his top desk drawer and wrote a personal check for the entire investment and used HK Liquidmetal to limit personal liability.
The others of us know that Lugee only personally holds 1.3M shares and that Liquidmetal Technologies LTD owns 405M shares. The Lugee Maze Venn diagram begins with who owns this Hong Kong Liquidmetal outfit. Hey! there very well could be investors on iHop who have more shares that good ol' Lugee; HUMMPH!
At some point in time it will become of keen interest who owns HK LQMT. As in....where did all the money go? Why was it distributed that way? Or, who bought all our assets and for HOW little?
On the bright side, today you can visit the Hong Kong ownership of our company here:
Room 906, Tai Tung Building
8 Fleming Road
Wan Chai,
Hong Kong
After you done at suite 906, could you jump in the elevator and bang on the door of Hong Kong Yamazaki Diecast and ask them if they are interested in being the first to bring BMG technology to Japan???
Thanks bro!
A Show Of Hands
How many here believe that the 46% owner, HK Liquidmetal; is totally in the dark as the rest of us two bit investors regarding the ongoings at LQMT LF?
LQMT would be making money this weekend if they had a bikini car wash.
Just say'n
LQMT brass knuckles? I thought that's why the knife has those voids in the center of it; so you can put your fingers through them and then punch somebody.
What's wrong with plain ol' LM 105 bullets? (Other than they would bounce really high off whatever you choose to shoot them at)
Ohh! The resonance of sound of a LM105 bullet is so pure, so much better than old fashioned ammunition. Much more satisfying.
For the total Liquidmetal acoustic guitar experience shouldn't you also also be demanding Martin to come up with LQMT capstans too? Ya' know if that string vibrations on the other side of the bridge effect tone the same must be true on the other side of the nut, right?
LQMT bridge pins are as much of a gimmick as a LQMT knife.
Researchfy, I am liking you more and more with every post!
There is nothing wrong with shareholders holding LQMT management to task. Appropriate, without question.
Instead of jumping to the usual conclusions and dreaming of an entire musical instrument made of BMG; the same was done here for a purposed Apple television, or most notably, the Apple car. What we investors should be looking at is how did the sale of these bridge pins impact earnings? How many were ordered and paid for? A 1000??? More like 500??? How long did it take for Martin to receive them after their PO was issued?
IF X amount of bridge pins made this kind of bump to earnings, how would you expect a larger order to impact things?
But to be honest, I didn't even see any impact when I took a look. Maybe Tony accidentally forgot to include them? 'Cause ya' know, we gotta keep everything hush, hush. We don't want our superiors at Eon to think in anyway way that we might be taking something away from them.
On any stringed instrument, a vibrating string making noise is tensioned between two points. In the case of a guitar it's between the neck and the bridge. The string does not vibrate anywhere else.
Bridge pins anchor the string and make no sonic difference.
LQMT bridge pins are just a gimmicky attempt to sell very expensive guitars.
Or....they request extension after extension because Southern Californian Edison does not have 10X the juice LQMT already uses available at the closest transformer. Snails outrun electric companies when it comes to getting upgrade work done, often lapping them several times.
I still think Halloween is appropriate.
All investors should be upset that proper electrical service will be achieved until 2 1/2 years after they moved in.
Pathetic....
LQMT's quarterly revenue is about 70K or so?
There's about what 24 Sat and Sun's during a quarter?
So if we took in about $3k any given Sat or Sun---Revenues are doubled and no Skin to Win. Just for the price of a garden hose, some sponges, and a 5 gallon bucket of laundry detergent from Costco.
Wow! LQMT's reported quarterly revenues as a pathetic as a Bikini Car Wash; and HK Liquidmetal spent $46M on this????
WAIT! WAIT! WAIT!
Lemme take that back!
It just dawned on me that this in Southern California and how insulting it is to make a suggestion of a garden hose idly running all afternoon straight into the sewer system. <facepalm>
I apologize.
I have suggested in the past a Bikini Car Wash.
I have no idea if the parking lot could be used for that on weekends since LQMT announced it runs weekend shifts so their Green Mystery Machines don't draw down the neighborhoods electrical supply.
But....if LQMT doesn't have folks making time and a half on Sat and Sun....then I think a Bikini Car Wash would significantly add to revenues and shareholders would approve.
Maybe Bikini Car Wash should be a question on the next proxy vote????
Amiga--
LF doesn't sell nor produce anything. They are the R & D department. There are no millions of parts being manufactured. No millions of dollars being deposited. There is no electricity.
I just looked up LQMT in the dictionary and here is what I found:
Subsidiary-- noun (pl. subsidiaries) a company controlled by a holding company.
• rare a thing that is of lesser importance than but related to something else.
Ahhh.....clicking on Jolly's link and then expanding Eontec's Daily Closing Price Chart to it's maximum of 3 years......there is nothing but a downward sloping line that crashes into the ground. Therefore, over time Eontech price is always down. So down that money invested 3 years ago has lost 2/3 of its value.
An apology is in order.
Gaslighting.
Prima facie gaslighting.
Professor Dragon Feet has deliberately gaslighted us LQMT investors. He does not consider us partners.
However, the recent lines in management employment agreements that read "You work for LQMT or in the name of whoever we tell you" was the killshot to any LQMT revenue in my mind.
$70,000
The same amount that is absolutely unknown what was actually sold and the same amount that has been reported quarterly for years.
My view of Apple and LQMT is this:
When Apple got spanked by GT Technologies and their sapphire glass debacle; any hopes of utilizing similar innovative technology went out the window. And because of that situation, Apple changed direction and using BMG's was left behind--along with many other new, ground breaking technologies (all those little companies Apple would buy up quarterly but are now forgotten).
So today Apple is not the company Steve Jobs wanted it to be. Although, many people still really want to think of it that way.
Today's Apple is a follower, not a leader. Case in point, the Vivo Water Drop and the new Turing phones.
Not to burst your bubble but I think the links that have been posted here the past few days for the water droplet and in particular the upcoming Turing phones blow away any recent Apple iDevice. And recent disclosures by Apple downturning expectations have more to do with a lack of innovation rather than softening sales in China.
These newly posted phones are innovative and new and look like something I would spend $1K on. Recent Apple phones? Well, the camera might be better, the resolution might be better but other than that they are just a different sized rectangle. And frankly, I think consumers are very happy with the current speed their calls go through, texts get sent, or download speeds for information. I don't think any consumer really cares how many G's there are.
So it would be great if Apple were to use LQMT in a phone, as part of a scissoring X in a taptech keyboard, the bumper of a Project Titian car, the hing of an laptop, the bezel of a television, the crown of a iWatch, the case of an iPod, the material an Earbud is made of, the component whatever however a Nike gymshoe would communicate with an iPod, the point of an Apple Pencil, the casing of a new sized iPad, a part of a super long duty battery, or any of the other 100 rumored LQMT/Apple collaborations.
At some point you have to say Apple and LQMT are never going to dance.
At some point Wall Street needs to realize Apple is not the company Steve Jobs wanted it to be.
"... if Huawei sells their P30 smartphone with Liquidmetal middleframe in Europe?"
Let's suppose this happens and HK Liquidmetal records the sales on the books of Hong Kong Yamazaki Diecast instead.....
What are you going to do about it?
I'll honestly tell you I do hold shares of LQMT, and some that I bought as long as like 8 years ago. I'm averaged at .10--so I'm green. But in no way does that make up for my LQMT disappointment, this is a sad state of affairs. :0(
There are a couple very obvious reasons why LQMT doesn't sell and it's not that there is not an inside sales force. Not that it's a new technology or a new industry. And certainly not that over the past 15 years LQMT hasn't caught the attention of some engineer via an Engle symposium, a medical trade show in San Diego, or a History Channel TV show.
LQMT hasn't sold because the material is not what it is purported to be. It's not super shiny and doesn't come in a multitude of colors. It doesn't come perfectly out of a mold. It's not stronger than titianium. It does not hold an edge longer than a razor blade kept inside a pyramid. And it doesn't bounce higher than your average pinball.
Over the past 15 years most certainly many people have looked closely at implimenting LQMT for their widgets and have quietly said "Nope, that dog don't hunt."
On top of this, LQMT and the implementation of LQMT products is also very, very expensive.
On the other hand, what LQMT has sold well over the past 15 years are shares of stock.
Think what you may about 'will LQMT achieve revenues from other maze organizations selling CE parts?'
The answer is and will always be: where does Hong Kong Liquidmetal keep the most money in it's pocket.
I don't believe that LQMT LF is the place where Eontec or any other Li involved business retains the most cash.
Sorry.
You forgot to tell your sparky friend that this job is a service upgrade. A service upgrade begins with asking (and paying) the local municipality for a permit. Then the electrician puts in a new panel, runs some conduit, and pulls some wire. Finally, California Edison needs to find the electricity LQMT has asked for and then bring it to LQMTs new meter.
Californian Edison (or their subcontractor) will not only give an extremely long lead time but they will likely blow that estimate.
Want to start another .60 poll? Put me down for LQMT announcing the completion of the electrical upgrade on or about Halloween.
The electrical upgrade is more than bending conduit and pulling wire. There is the dark horse component is whatever electrical utility bringing the additional juice to LQMTs meter. It's not unusual for this to take months and months. A quick upgrade might take 6-9 months.
Hint: They sell shares of stock.
Even at pennies a piece you can do well if your story is good enough.
This would be wonderful but I think it is too farfetched for LQMT. There are just too many elementary business practices that LQMT refuses to do.
LQMT is a different lemonade stand.
LQMT LF is definitely a clown car.
This imaginary conversation foreshadows one to occur in mid 2019 when the question is raised
Bruce Bromage: So, I’ve been getting a lot of shareholder questions on why we still haven’t completed the electrical upgrade. They are concerned all that space in The LF warehouse is not to operate Green Mystery Machines.
HK LQMT: There is no reason to spend that kind of money. Not only on the price of the sparkys to do their thing but even one one of the Eontec model casting machines costs some $200K apiece. We are talking several million to sit and do nothing.
BB: What should I tell investors?
HK LQMT: Tell them that space is being used for leased storage like we told them when we bought the building and have Tony post some numbers to a new account called Rental Imcome.
A LQMT prediction for 2019:
HK Liquidmetal calls Bruce Bromage sometime after the first of the year and asks how things in LF are going. Something close to the following dialog takes place.
Bruce Bromage: The share price has dropped and held for about a month and a half to about .11. There is some pushback by investors but not much. However sales of the treasury shares are way down. I played 18 with the guys on the board over the US holidays and they all said they would like to see a higher share price, ya' know...at least on paper.
HK Liquidmetal: I see what they mean <checking portfolio quickly> gee....ahhhh....this looks bad....our investment looks down almost 50%. Bruce, we have to know about these things sooner! Why aren't you telling us??? This is not what we expect from a person in your position.
BB: <nervously> Ummm...ummm.... We can easily correct this...And with no cost....the issuance of a press release will make the stock price jump and hold for a while.
HK LQMT: <interupting> We do not prefer disclosure
BB: No firm disclose. And by no means any definitive or upclose pictures. We could bring in a new potential industry.
BB: Ya' know, we haven't mentioned anything about military or aerospace applications in about 3 years. We certainly could revisit that...
HK LQMT: Humm...I like the sound of this...no cost, right?
BB: Absolutely none! And we have a box full of prototypes and samples of canards that we worked on for a past project.
HK LQMT: <interrupts again> Canard??? Isn't that the French word for duck? Or is it goose?
BB: In French it means duck. But in English it means the fin of a missile.
HK LQMT: We have very close friends who love missiles!
BB: How 'bout this....I'll overnight those old samples. You get a couple pictures of Lugee examining them closely...with a lab coat on...maybe using some tools or a microscope or something.
HK LQMT: Nothing close up!
BB: By all means no. Somewhat off in the distance.
HK LQMT: With an Apple product or two in the far background.
BB: You get me those pics, and I'll come up with a press release...
HK LQMT:<interupts> NO DISCLOSURE!
BB: No sir! But professional...and nice. I'm certain this will get everyones portfolio looking the way we would like it to. Say .32 or so...
HK LQMT: We like this. You are a good man Bruce.
A week or so later the press release was issued and SHAZAM! The stock price rose, innuendo continued, and anyone with interest in LQMT was content.
What else is there to talk about?
Equally ridiculous discussions are about foreign corporations that have way too many vowels in their name that are somehow associated with Eontec--that somehow, some way might increase LQMTs bottom line.
Seriously? You think parking lot size was a consideration in the purchase of LF?
This supposed manifacturing facility doesnt have a loading dock. They paid for the ridiculous overhead crane system that is totally BMG useless. The warehouse area likely has reinforced floors that are unnecessary, and LQMT will have been run out of LF for over 3 years before the electrical upgrade is complete.
You are way overestimating how shallow a thought the purchase of LF was and what a shill this whole LQMT thing is.
Entertain guests? Dude, bring your kids to work day is only once a year.
This might be the only LQMT positive post I’ve made in years!
True, there is one arrow. The current price is .11 and Hong Kong Liquidmetal bought in at .16.
So I think we can all be damn sure HK LIquidmetal ain’t going to lose money on this deal, they control too much. At some point in time they will begin to care that they have a losing investment and then they will influence the sp to be at least .16. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to think that HK Liquidmetal is completely unaware their investment is losing money on paper. Someday they will wake up.
So my advice is that if you your average sp is .16 or below you are solid. Above .16???? Average down soon.
