This should not be the time for great frustration. Think of all we know now that we didn't just a few months ago. We've gone from tiny parts made by LQMT, to the possibility of a Turn Key" machine made by Engel and LQMT, that will be the primary sales source. Now we have LM news. Its all good.
The company is branching out. Growing in its marketing plan. Just imagine how many LM systems can and will be sold. That is an amazing technology... The Middle East will buy thousands of launchers.
On and on and on.
WOW great find...so it can hit mortars....can you imagine all the countries that would want that??
HUGE....All over the world.
We are not quite sure what all those shares are for....we have no idea what contracts may come soon...
we have no idea about anything...just as always. Supposedly the ENGEL machine was ready for production... TURN KEY as they called it....all we can do is wait.
It says the test was to fly close to the target but not to intercept it....interception tests will be done at a later date...
I know the "years ahead" has been used by some, but considering the enormous value of getting the sheets developed....I find it hard to believe scientists can't make a breakthrough LONG before that.
Its all coming..I believe. Its just we have to be patient. Look where we are now...And the Auto Industry may decide to buy the machines....then they can be sure of a steady supply and configure different parts and test them. LM may decide the same thing if they can see many more applications....and that may start a stampede of big industries buying the machines....many machines each...its no wonder Engel wants this to work....I wonder if that road is taken...what the PPS will be for LQMT....
LOL..no thanks....Im' happy with how things are progressing...we've had many surprises recently, for the good...and as it proves, we won't have a clue until something is announced...but we have some nice hints...
Hmmmm...Lockheed Martin is about 5 miles from my home..I wonder if I should go into their waiting room, have some donuts and coffee and ask any employees with a badge if they know anything about LQMT and military contracts....and then I'll be telling security how many donuts I had...and trying to convince them I'm not on any meds...and I think I'll go home and behave myself...
You're contacting a multi billion dollar military industrial complex with many contracts, secret also...
I'm surprised they even responded. They would have to get permission through the goverment laison office to answer you....you want answers on "government sponsored military tests"...that's what you are asking for.....stick with what LQMT is posting...such PR's can't be lies...not when its linked with government contractors....Lets all settle down...I'm afraid too many here are waiting for a small increase and are itching to sell and move on...for the LONGS..I'm sure what we have recently learned is very good news to HOLD...
Why would Lockheed need to or want to put out a news item on a small part of an armament system from a penny stock company??
This is a billion dollar company...they don't need to advertise LQMT's product...LQMT does.
The dynamics of the company are changing as we have seen in the last few weeks...I'm in for the ride and feeling better about it.
Didn't materion also say at a CC I think...that they were shipping the metal in the "Millions of dollars" worth??? Sorry, I can't remember the specifics, but I know someone posted it here. If anyone can add to this please do. And I wondered if that would mean revenue to LQMT or was it prototype money.
But "in the Millions" seemed much more than prototype money.
Considering the extreme cost savings, 1/10 the cost of what its replacing, I imagine other countries would want the system. Also, it puts the LQMT metal on display for other military uses, commercial uses. Just knowing its being used by LM is going to get more interest going. So its a pretty big deal for us.
The government is headed to default, the latest plan has failed, the markets are tumbling and LQMT is up over 9%....on good news....I'd say we're having a SPLENDID day...and more to come....
For those disappointed in the pull back...the important thing is that this week we've been given a MUCH better picture of where this company is headed. I feel greatly relieved by the recent news. MANY shares were bought today for a quick ride up and then "sell"...that's the nature of the market...the quick traders...
GOOD LUCK LONGS...
Projections are absolutely useless. No one knows what's coming....The Engel PR was a shock...and the LM PR today was a shock...that's how it works...no one can predict...any day..like today...anything can happen that throws everyone off guard...
GREAT post...amazing...what an amazing week for LQMT investors...finally, light at the end of the tunnel....
By the time you see the money, it will be at $2 a share...
WOW...another nice find today.....and it will show up on searches when investors get interested in the company....
the LM EAPS missile could also be sold through EUROPE and the Middle East....hows that for volume contract???
Hmmm...I wonder how many machines Lockheed Martin will buy...is it a coincidence that these two PRs came out close together?? The ENGEL shipment and this?? Hopefully today's PR will have legs through the military establishment media and beyond.
There is no shutdown in military contracts. And if this goes through, it will be an improvement in existing systems. APPLE is a big iron in the fire....Lockheed is a HOT iron in the fire. Either one happening will be huge for LQMT....but I'm favoring the benefits of Lockheed as to getting the word out on the metals capability.
Yes, but its a VERY positive PR, and along with the ENGEL news...it should raise more eyebrows...since most only associate LQMT with APPLE....now perhaps "risk taking investors" will start figuring what a big government contract would do for a penny stock... and the PR certainly had some "gold" in it..as to the benefits of LQMT from other metals...
There should be some developmental funds coming to LQMT since its a small business and it deals with a government contract.
Yes...the Lockheed Martin acceptance would be HUGE......and I imagine LM has many other areas where it can be used....what a relief...to see that PR. We are now talking "REVENUES"...finally. And big ones....government contracts...oh its a very good day...
WOW...thanks for that....nice find....

I had to go back and read this recent news item about the upgrade design to the Engel Machine.. Seems I was a little foggy on the specifics. I don't know who at LQMT designed the addition to the Engel Machine, in conjunction with Engel. Seems they have gone through many iterations to come to this perhaps final design that is now at Engel. So isn't this telling us this was the focus of LQMTs efforts and NOT going after contracts?? Doesnt' it also tell us the machine they were using for the parts described in the blogs wasn't adequate?? And that's the reason nothing came of those "almost contracts"?? Its no wonder they dont want to show up at the usual type CC. Its no wonder they went for 200 Million more shares so they wouldn't have to be at the mercy of stockholders anger. as they asked for more shares in smaller quantities. It seems we can forget about the past blogs on prototypes. It seems it was BS... But now, perhaps, LQMT is going down a different road. Selling the LQMT/ENGEL machines...for one.
Well, one can wait until real news on contracts and production is out...if it ever does come out...but then you buy it at a much higher price. I wouldn't tell anyone to buy LQMT, but we all have many examples of stocks that did the totally unexpected thing that sent it on a different road to great profitability. Its a crap shoot. When I really thought, as I said, about the Engel Machine...it hit me in a couple of ways..one was...they don't even have a machine perfected yet...so, was all the prior "almost contracts" total BS???? And what else is BS??? But APPLE doesnt think its BS...Materion doesn't think so..Engel doesn't think so. We're floating down a river without a paddle. The IHUB message board as are other message boards.. "comfort zones" to a degree...so we as individuals don't feel stranded in the dark with our money on a horse....we have others in the same boat...its comforting whether the boat is sinking or not. After the Engel news..I have absolutely no clue where they are on anything.
Except they are working on "whatever"...and it seems this new machine will work...other wise why did they ship it??? I think LQMT stopped going after contracts....that's why we haven't heard anything..
they knew they weren't ready...so, we are back many steps from where we thought we were. But maybe with the new machine...I just don't know. How long will it take to "approve" the machine??
Is this a prototype machine??...gaad...it seems we dont' even have a machine let alone any contracts about to occur...who the heck knows...no one here, I know that...it would be impossible to know what's happening.
With the news of the Engel machine, maybe we can conclude they weren't as far along in production potential as we were led to believe. For me, it was "Hooray...wait..wha??? what happened to the prototypes, the springs, the 'almost to a contract'? " Perhaps they ran into trouble with the methods they were using. So the shipment of the Engel machine, could have told us a few things. They weren't ready before, but are closer to ready now. It may be why we hadn't heard much, in blogs, or about tech/industrial conferences they were attending to show off LQMT. Im just thinking of this now, spurred by your post. My rose colored glasses fell off. So what are the capabilities of the new machine?? Is it capable of APPLE PRODUCTS?? Is this why the CC plans have changed?? Because they have to admit they weren't as ready as we had believed, but are closer now?? And if the machine was shipped, wouldn't it first have been proven out at Engel?? And what are all the pre issued shares for?? Is that a good sign or a more negative sign?? To have funds for a big KABOOM, or to scrape along trying to get things off the ground. We're on a train, blind folded, going through a tunnel...no one has a clue on what's going on. IMO of course..
many many many examples of all sizes of companies that if one waits for facts and contracts the stock is already up significantly...because then "Wall Street" is in it....the very speculative investor wants to get in before the hoards find it. Many big companies had already gone up significantly just by potential, and momentum...especially in this age of internet companies and new technology companies. IMO.
Okay...just making sure you werent adding them all in. No, no one likes all the shares. BUT...when one considers the possible potential...it eases the mind a little. A metal that could take over the world, Engel a world wide distributor of machines, Materion, also world class company...APPLE..."THE" world class company. All wanting desperately for this metal to be used. Yes, I just stated the obvious, but its one of the things to keep in mind..if one wants to hold onto shares for a possible future win.
A very large number of shares are not part of the share count...they have not been issued, so they are not part of the "Price Per Share" figuring...in case you were lumping all the share numbers together.
So, is the plan now to focus on selling the Engel Machines so companies can make a variety
of items without having to go through the contract/prototype process?? Will it be a combination, where LQMT, whose stock value should rise with news of production, use those non issued shares to buy its own warehouse of machines for Materion to make items for companies that don't want to buy the machines??? Didn't LQMT say that those extra 200 Million shares were not for what many thought?? Could this be the reason for all the non issued shares?? Will LQMT become a singular production facility, in combination with Materions production??? If this metal becomes "metal of choice" in all the areas that have been listed, imagine the number of machines that will be needed to meet demand. It boggles the mind. And no one here has a clue on where this is headed, or how fast it will happen, even if it will happen. The possible future has changed considerably from just a year ago. And more breakthroughs in developing the metal, and new configurations of the metal may be coming. We could all be at the ground floor of something very big. And that's my hype for the holiday weekend.
The picture of the possible future is clearer now, and its looking pretty good.
Yes, the latest Engel Machine news was one more carrot on the stick. Shipped for testing?? It must have been tested at Engel. Its all going in somewhat of a different direction than I thought. Selling the machines to companies to make their own items. And will some of the companies that buy the machines do so to contract out to smaller companies for supplying parts??? It seems the tentacles are growing. It seems a faster way to get the metal into many market areas. The Engel announcement was a surprise, and there may be many more surprises coming. No one here knows the game plan. All we can do is hold on and watch it all develop. A pretty easy task at this stage, considering the possible pay off.
Thanks...mine changed over night...now its a "box" containing paragraph posts.
A much smaller area to write in than the original. But acceptable.
Sorry if this has already been posted.

Thank you.
Am I the only one having problem with the message board?? The posting area is blank, and posts are down the left side, one word per line....
That is the future. We're here hoping LQMT will be part of it. Past performance IMO, will have no bearing on future endeavors. Many things are going on behind the curtain that we don't know about.
Another proof of that was the recent ENGEL news. Everyone can argue, fight, scratch, belittle,
on and on, but no one knows what's coming next. No one has an inkling of what may come tomorrow with this company. This is a "truth"...everything else is fog and fluff. IMO.
