One strategy: check back next June.
If it wasn't apparent before it should be now with that great writeup. The writing is on the wall.
Sounds like a great place to work and play, funded by dilution, except that they did have business at one time, but they gave much of it away for limited license fees from AAPL, and insignificant revenue from Swatch according to them.
is it the general belief that with tapering gold will selloff and between now and then it's in limbo?
Really good job!
Sound limiting and that to justify that process, an application would have to be greatly enhanced or improved by LM properties and be achievable within the process constraints. Both would limit the application space (meaning domain).
With those limitations, if APPL is at that level, they would probably want or need to extend their arrangement, and MTRN would want that also to try to get LM to a point of broader potential us and application.
No wonder it's been difficult to secure sales and new business with those limitations and constraints.
She was an intern and she did such a good job that they are inviting her back, e.g. LM chess pieces.
Some experts think that commodities still need to deflate some before the next bull cycle and include gold in it.
Everything should tank right, including gold.
Talk about a slow grind; all in the complex.
Pure manipulation; fear mongering helps to achieve the end.
When et al made $200(+), day trading, another made $8k swing trading; Can payoff to hold a swing.
Swing traders and day traders have different targets. We don't see a bottom.
gold futures look like a reversal bar.
Early/mid Nov.2013 timeframe for next quarterly earnings conference call.
Folks looking for a sharp adjustment/correction in gold sure can keep a trader sitting on the sidelines.
Who really thinks it's probable by Oct 3?
In the second half of this presentation, Steipp describes how MTRN is driving sales of a couple of versions of LMQT alloy.
Sorry, meant "company's"
Feel free to use those points and to or change it in Q/A of the next conference call.
If the company (LQMT) monitors this board, those points are a heads up on what some investors are expecting in the future.
While the company "welcomes revenue" (re: Roth Conference comments), general investors welcome performance, proof of it, or demonstration that the company is planning for it beyond the prototype stage.
A new indicator for measuring LQMT performance:
* the last 12 months or so it was "number of prototypes"
* until a revenue ramp, a new indicator could be a measure of the companies ability to negotiate favorable contract/license terms (and speak to their general strategy for doing that in CCs)
Here's a template for asking questions in upcoming CC(s):
* what is the companies strategy going forward to negotiate more favorable licensing, royalty, and manufacturing or sourcing deals in the future (technology, comprehensive, etc)
* what is the company doing to position itself to generate shareholder value now and in years to come
* has the company forecasted revenues based on these strategies and is the company convinced that the business and market can grow using their technology and process patents
Another look at Liquid metal battery developments (MIT):
The catch on capitalizing on IP is to negotiate better licensing/contract deals gong forward now that LQMT has a commercially viable process according to them.
Is gold ever coming down? Is next week the big correction?
Maybe Kang & Company and an iGolf related contract are the best shot at new revenue before APPL/ MTRN business in 2015. If for some reason defense related business is dwindling (like it did years back when LQMT was interesting but not broadly attractive), or maybe LQMT has enough process patents in place to cover broader areas now (way back the process was more interesting than the alloy for general use n a nasa article (I think)). If it were the case that the IP has become more valuable than the alloy, then maybe MTRN just needs the patents ??? Interesting times.
..... but we might not have heard of LQMT had it not been for penny stock promotions.
It could more interesting in the next 12-18 months (more speculation, an opportunity for LQMT to come out of 3 year hiatus, definitely for the last 12 months).
Does anyone know if Kang & Company are being sued or just restricted?
Maybe no significant revenue ramp evidence ( MTRN, LQMT) until 2015 and potential dilution in between, a competitive landscape where new capabilities can be introduced or developed (1-2 yr window). A lot could happen between. A lot could happen between now and then.
Imagine this, in 2016, LQMT makes the Russell 2000, price keeps appreciating, by 2017 it makes the Nasdaq 100 and the IBD 100, and then "off to the races."
It can make for an interesting fantasy and a dream.
Alternatively, what if you sit on an investment for another year while it dilutes further.
The reason given no/low royalties in APPL, SWATCH deals was that LQMT was in a bad financial situation. Three years later (from APPL), LQMT is still in a marginal financial situation with no significant new revenues.
It's a compelling dream, but it seems that the longer LQMT can stay solvent and dilute, as was pointed out by another poster, the more shares the officers can pick up, etc.
It all sounds good unless you are a general shareholder with a long wait.
The aesthetic wonder, technical marvel, most enduring, insignificant revenue, LQMT promotional, Swatch/Omega video promotion:
That could make for a compelling promotional LM video: Glenda the good witch casting out holograms from s solid, magical, LM wand, turning all into LM statutes, preserving humanity to eternity, "forever," a most enduring partnership.
The brains at LQMT; making history.
It must be tough being under the microscope of the investment community while developing the next wave; seems odd that something with such promise takes so long to reach MTRN's/LQMT's market.
I wonder if it is so powerful that could take some of their (MTRN's) existing business lines (cash cows) by a storm; that they actually have to down play it.
No shortage of opportunities to ponder. Eager to see Steipp's next public appearance!
is this the same Tony Chung from LQMT? Looks pretty cool for a corporate CFO, former Big 4, etc.

Wonder if we will be seeing more "on the cusp" videos to support the next round of financing:
Miss seeing the LQMT CEO in action:
I reviewed a document provided on MTRN board about LQMTs timeline and notice the following inconsistency with a presentation that LQMT had posted on their website , dated November 2012.
In the Corporate presentation dated Nov. 2012, revenue ramp is shown in the broad 2014 timeframe.
There may be an update to the presentation.
Read through the info at the links (skimmed) and they are somewhat different than two other sources I follow.
I suppose we'll find out more in a week's time.
Thx.
Do Kangs have a glasses LM (LQMT licensed) product? Any links?
Symmetrical triangle.
Oil is supposed to drop big time; maybe all lows will be taken out at some point and dust has one last hooray.
Maybe LQMT will come out with glasses.
No thanks to the recent lackluster CC that omitted any mention of prior developments mentioned.
So poor at communicating as compared to most other public companies.
Did all of those prior and recent activities just die on the vine?
DUST is up over 5% and DGLG les than 3%. Both 3x leverage. What does that tell you.
Maybe the miner index rebalancing, etc., is more significant than changes in the price of gold.
