"Until recently, stock analysts at Wall Street's big brokerage firms weren't following shares of 3-D printer companies."
Excellent post...above is a sentence from your posted article..You see how far behind the curve Wall Street is?? The same will be for Liquid Metal. And yes, ENGEL and LQMT are also into 3D printing research...all we have to do is wait...Liquid Metal eventually will catch fire...and be bigger than 3D printing....
Lots of juicy hints for next year. I imagine it will be more difficult in getting a company to switch
to Liquid Metal and using a mold machine to make the parts, than we are admitting to. So its good LQMT brought on another sales team. That's why APPLE is so important. They will be the "GOOD HOUSEKEEPING SEAL OF APPROVAL" for Liquid Metal. And nice to see the rumor mill starting so early about the IPHONE 6. We certainly have enough 'hints' to know that many things are moving behind the scenes. One day one of the major sites is going to write an article..."Liquid Metal...what is it and how big could it get." I don't know why it hasn't been written already. LONGS certainly have enough now to keep their spirits up.
We have had the Iphone Rumors before...one site posts it, others take it up, and it spikes the PPS.
But this time we have some BIG Apple patents disclosed. This time we have the Engel/Lqmt Turn Key Machine announcement. Now we have more detailed descriptions of what the IPHONE 6 may look like. These will all back up the rumors to a greater degree than past rumors on past Iphones. I do not think we are in a "rinse and repeat" scenario this time. I'm glad I'm a "Long Term Holder"...this is looking very good indeed.
Quick traders come in after a few sites pick up a story to try and catch a short wave......then they sell...but they are not always right...they have been left in the dust many times when a big run comes and keeps going with no real pull back.
The silence from the traders is deafening....
Wow..another site picking up on the rumor....and this early too...and maybe, just maybe this time the rumor will become fact...we have a lot of new information now...more Patents disclosed...the ENGEL/LQMT machine....the rumors are starting early....they may become a wildfire soon...with perhaps a little help of "leaked" news....GOOD LUCK LONGS....ANYTHING can happen ANY DAY...and if the description of the IPHONE 6 that's in these site news items is true...it will knock the socks off any competitor...
You place your bets and you takes your chances...... I've placed my bet and I'm waiting for the result...
Perhaps if LQMT failed financially...APPLE could buy them out cheap...including the Crucible Patents...
and then work with ENGEL directly. Why would APPLE want to prop them up?? That may be a factor in the huge amount of shares ready to be released.... Lets remember..APPLE is RUTHLESS ...there is nothing "sweet" about the company. They even threw Jobs out..then begged him to come back....this is not a game of saints... Why hasn't APPLE bought them out?? It would get very messy...there are probably positives about the situation as it is now...especially with the ENGEL/LQMT development.
I agree with others....If APPLE is going to use the LQMT/ENGEL machine technology...they sure don't want ENGEL showing it at "industrial fairs", first, they like to surprise wall street...but most important...
they don't want any other country...(China)...copying the technology and beating APPLE to Market...
We have to believe that LQMT/STEIPP/APPLE/ENGEL/MATERION are in constant contact with each other...I do not believe the comments by STEIPP that he isn't aware of patents of APPLE..etc etc....
as he said in the past...I believe he is well aware of all that's going on. And Visser is racing his cars.
Bat Cave...
This will make the board LQMT traders grumpy. Get ready for an onslaught of more negativity.
Nice FIND...we need all these we can get.......Keepa deese rumors coming all through summer and we'll hit $1 just on that.
Everything you mentioned...everyone knows. That's why we're here at 17 cents a share. Those here are willing to take the risk that it will all work out...its so simple...so very simple....holders know all the risks and are willing to take them. For others to continually repeat them...it seems its just "traders" trying to influence the PPS...which I doubt they have little effect by this time. We all know the odds...we all know the risk. Now we can play Sherlock Holmes and try to figure what's behind the curtain...but I doubt its going to change anyones mind on their position.
With only 219 shareholders..this stock can be easily manipulated..and has been. Plus as the HOLIDAYS approach, it could get worse...that's why you can't look at the daily fluctuations to mean anything. Any good that will come is months from now..many months from now.
I'm relaxed with my shares...I don't have to worry about trading....I'm looking past the Holidays..Past Winter, into Late Summer....everything else is just fog....
Keeping it real is that you are a trader...and you love making small change with the gyrations of the stock and the last thing you want is for LQMT to trend upwards...that is keeping it real...
In July, the stock went up 300%.."POP"....ENJOY...
Two weeks ago, on National News they had a start up internet company....no stock....the creaters were offered 2 BILLION for it....just for its potential. When companies are first starting out..like NETFLIX and STARBUCKS, etc......there are those that see the vision...the potential...they buy in and hold....by the time the vision becomes reality, the initial investors have taken their fortunes and moved on....They invested during the greatest risk period. There are those waiting on the sidelines of LQMT, waiting for more information...perhaps first buys on the ENGEL/LQMT machine...or perhaps APPLE bringing out an LQMT product...or Lockheed Martin signing a contract....that's when they will decide to jump in...
but the PPS will be over $1... 500% above what it is now.
And when it POPS to 50 cents...on good news....what are you going to do??? I wonder if you'll be here posting anymore..
Of all years...to HOLD Lqmt, 2014 is it....you start holding your shares NOW...by next Christmas you'll be in the 15% Capital Gains bracket....instead of 35%. "IF" LQMT goes over $1.....depending on your share count.....that extra 20% can be a HUGE sum in your bank account..
GOOD LUCK LONGS...
YOu need to call APPLE and tell them the news.
Selling Mattresses is quite different than trying to get a "disruptive technology" off the ground.
Thanks for the background on Steipp. I'm sure many weren't aware of all the credentials. Compared to Visser..a man that made his fortune selling mattresses...now heavily invested and interested in NASCAR....with a Precision Cast Parts business...I have a feeling who wasn't 100% behind the Liquid Metal effort. I think Barney thought the metal could be manipulated with his Cast Parts machines...
or his people could figure it out...OR, he just wanted to take control..for whatever came with APPLE.
Lets hope this "VISSER/LQMT" mess gets settled quickly....its unfortunate...but there are always many bumps in the road to bring, as you said..Disruptive Technology to market. Those that keep the bashing going on Steipp...need to readjust their thinking....and hope whatever he is doing with ENGEL brings us what we desire....
No revenues??? Really??? I am shocked I tell you, shocked.
You have to face that all these past news items of prototypes being shipped out...may have been based on Visser fabricating them any way possible...to meet requirements, but had no way of mass producing them. That's why no contracts were signed. We all asked ourselves..if the prototypes got rave reviews...why isn't anyone buying a production run. I'm betting VISSER can't make a production run and that is what this "squabble" between LQMT and VISSER is all about. Someone is dragging their feet and I don't think its LQMT...its VISSER...he's too busy at the race track and he doesn't have "scientists" working with LQMT...he just has technicians that can run the machines he has. LQMT got frustrated..ENGEL made the proposal for the TURN KEY machine..ENGEL had scientists to develop it with the LQMT scientists..while BARNEY WAS AT THE RACE TRACK...I think its as simple as that.
The patents are truly amazing. They aren't something a few employees doodled on a napkin at Starbucks.....I wonder how many scientists APPLE has working on the project.
I think the problem is patience. Few have it. Look at CNBC..all those experts...nothing but trading..Cramer is a trading fool....Wall street loves traders because they can be manipulated with their computer programs.... LQMT is stacking up some good positive items....This would be a great time for many to decide...the LQMT stock they have...they will keep for a year...and any profits will be taxed at 15%.
Okay...."decades" is a slight exaggeration. I've been in the stock about a year and a half. If this was just LQMT with patents...trying to get funding...and exploding the number of shares...I have been in that position with another penny stock...that had some patents worth a few Billion...and they stabbed the share holders in the bank with the help of Google....but this is different. We have materion, we have ENGEL and we have APPLE...and Visser...we have a co authored patent with ENGEL...we have the Crucible Patents....we have Lockheed Martin seemingly about to test the Canards...except I think there is one problem there...along with all the other prototypes..I believe VISSER could NOT make a "production" quality item...after the Prototypes were approved...I believe...just trying to connect dots...that Visser was making parts...and then hand refining them to meet specifications...and maybe told LQMT to keep out of their business...that they will get it right eventually...in the mean time...LQMT and ENGEL tried to make a machine. Why LQMT went with VISSER at first...well, maybe they thought the PRECISION CAST method would work...but wasn't that what the KANGS tried to do??? Maybe VISSER told them
HE could do it even if the KANGS couldn't....I'm not sure when VISSER came on board......so VISSER had the big bucks....to keep LQMT afloat...except they gave away the farm to do it....but now...ENGEL and LQMT have a machine that seems to be able to BY PASS what VISSER was supposed to do...which wasn't going to work anyway...except on a small scale..
So, we are right in the middle of GREAT Patents..a TURN KEY MACHINE....Lockheed Martin waiting...(LM can always change to LQMT Canards later)....so...with all that..plus APPLE seemingly working its collective buns off to make this metal work....its all posetiive to me... and there will be those that only see negative..and I believe its a matter of brain wiring...people can see the same thing and come to different conclusions..and nothing I say will change the opposites outlook. AMEN.
I agree...2014 seems to be set to be "Longs Year"..all the patent announcements, the ENGEL/LQMT machine....hopefully the Visser entanglement will be worked out....and big IPHONE 6 rumors...plus that strange commercial...showing LIQUID METAL.....I think that was a big HINT to the "NERDS"....
and LQMT stockholders...
Nope...not going to read it....I have my vision and Im going to keep it...ONWARD LQMT...
Keep trying...its not going to work...
With all these patents...there has to be a heck of a lot going on that we don't know about. We're only hearing bits and pieces. This all is "game changing" for the whole world in Metallurgy. Amazing things are coming....
Nice finds. Glad LQMT is also in the business of the machines, and at the fielding stage too. Lets just hope 2014 is the year to get the stock moving over $1. We'll all be out while others will be getting in at $5. One of the benefits of getting in when the risk is so much greater. You can take your hoard and go home early...while others ponder the same investment questions we have.
Amazing that not too long ago...we all were complaining that nothing seems to be happening....
now it seems things are happening in every direction......we don't know exactly what...
but there are so many different possible scenarios now....its hard to grasp all the possibilities. I LIKE IT.
I think your "rinse/repeat" days are over..with LQMT.
There is a possibility that LQMT and VISSER are renegotiating terms. What could force VISSER to do so?? LQMT could be bought out by ENGEL....where would that leave Visser?? With an empty warehouse.
Engel could also make sure VISSER never gets any LQMT/ENGEL machines....ENGEL could even sell the machines to VISSERS clients.....its a big chess game right now....I'm sure APPLE would love working with ENGEL...perhaps even building the phones at the ENGEL headquarters...the possibilities are many...on what this could all be about....LQMT does not have a weak hand...
Sorry....I'm afraid your trading days in LQMT are over. Come 2014...any news could spike LQMT up over $1...shorts will be fried...as well as traders that hold short over night.
Well, remember, the basic LQMT patent is over...its run out...so I'm not so sure Barney has any control over that...but LQMT will have patent rights and royalties to the machines.... This is VERY complicated.....I just hope whatever happens, it kicks LQMT up to $3+ a share, so I can sell and be happy with what I have....
More on Visser. Whomever he has as clients for his Cast Parts can also become his clients for the Liquid Metal made with the ENGEL/LQMT machine. He would already be on the ground running...ahead of any competition that also buys the machines...and giving a good enough price...so his current customers won't want to buy the machines. So he will wind up with a fortune in LQMT stock...plus a HUGE business in contracts for Liquid Metal parts made by the TURN KEY machines..
and LQMT will reap all the royalties from the machines and parts made from the machines. Except perhaps those made by Visser....so everyone wins....if Barney just backs off and lets it happen. But if it can be shown Barney was too busy with his Nascar business...and didn't show what could be assumed his part in the partnership...then LQMT may prove he didn't live up to his part of the bargain.
Stepping back..yes, Visser may be able to hold LQMT's feet to the fire...except LQMT does not own the ENGEL/LQMT machine...its co owned by the patent. So the idea of Visser having control over the machine...won't work. BUT, Visser can buy as many of the machines has he wants...providing APPLE doesn't have big orders in already...Visser can do all he had planned on doing....he can product as much as he can with the machines he can get...but surely he must see...that if he holds LQMT
to the agreement...then it could all come crumbling down...and if he forces a buy out of the agreement...thus killing the LQMT stock price....he loses a HUGE fortune....that he could use to buy MORE LQMT/ENGEL machines. They need to all sit down...Visser needs to see that the agreements would not work into getting VISSER as a WORLD WIDE PRODUCER of parts....but he can still be a WORLD WIDE PRODUCER of parts..nothing would stop him from being just what the contract offers....except others will be able to produce the parts with the Turn Key Machines. Hopefully VISSER is not an ego bloated individual...that can't see how great this could all work out. BUT the Visser
fiasco, could force a buy out of LQMT by ENGEL or APPLE...and Visser would lose all. He has no power over the Crucible..he would be left out totally...probably even kept from buying machines...ENGEL would put him at the bottom of the list.
