Yup made me look twice.
Well it will probably wash out before the open, but made my eyes pop lol
N8ce ask up there at .40. Wouldn't that be a nice suprise lol
Awesome Mr. Ducks! Info that this continues to validate the planned approach.
I think it's higher than last time.
Thanks Josh. In my simple view I have not been banking on Apple and have in the past found the continuing drum beating distracting. One thing we can count on is too many people continue to hype Apple-LQMT so we will probably see a peak and fall on that news as well as any long lasting affect from a non-ce contract.
I like the way you explained the connection though and can see a way that Apple use of LQMT would benefit us as shareholders per your description. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
Josh - I'm long on lqmt. The straight information we have from Li is not Apple focused. Everything but Apple. What has you thinking otherwise? Or do you think otherwise?
Hey Josh ceck this out
http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/LQMT/quote
I second that notion. A good scotch for you. Perhaps a nice 25 year if interested. Maybe we buy a bottle or 2 :)
Oh wait I want yours too :)
That is a good question. I'll tell you mine. I have short, medium and long term plans. I'm in a good spot right now so any sale is taking a profit.
Short term - dollar range or significant event and I will diversify.
Medium - looking for that NASDAQ listing.
Long - plan to be in it to the end.
Not saying that, as it ouldnt know, but sure is purty
It's a beauty
Lol maybe so.
Yup I know who he is. I expect when he pulls out there will be a dip. Other than Li it's the only sure thing I know about LQMT. :)
Yes I think you are right. Bond also mentioned today he is long on LQMT, you may remember a few weeks ago he called for a .70 price in September.
The Wild West of Deep-Sea Mining
The International Seabed Authority is racing to draft regulations for the nascent deep-sea mining industry.
by Harrison Tasoff, Published May 19, 2017
In the coming years, a new gold rush will begin. Deep beneath the ocean’s waves, from scalding hydrothermal vents to the frigid stretches of the abyssal plain, ocean processes have deposited vast quantities of valuable minerals on the seafloor. Now, the convergence of technological development and political will has placed this ore within reach. But like the gold rushes of old, the deep-sea-mining industry is emerging on the frontiers of society, far from legislatures and law enforcement.
Officially, the nascent deep-sea-mining industry is governed by the International Seabed Authority (ISA), a nongovernmental organization established in 1996 by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). The authority’s critical task is to coordinate its 168 member nations in establishing and enforcing regulations for the developing deep-sea-mining industry.
But the ISA lacks teeth, says Duncan Currie, a legal adviser to the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition, an advocacy organization. “They won’t and they can’t” force compliance, he says.
Back in 1982, when UNCLOS was still under development, US president Ronald Reagan and British prime minister Margaret Thatcher introduced an agreement guiding how the treaty would operate—a provision that also applies to the ISA. According to that agreement, once the ISA receives an application for a mining permit, it has two years to develop regulations. If the ISA does not finalize its rules after two years, it has to give the country provisional approval with whatever rules it has in place.
So far, the ISA has yet to finalize its regulations for deep-sea-mineral extraction. It has, however, already granted 26 permits for deep-sea-mineral exploration in international waters, though none yet for mineral extraction.
Though there appears to be little likelihood of a country bypassing the ISA’s permitting process, “there’s very little to stop them,” Currie says. At the moment, deep-sea mining in international waters is sufficiently far in the future that the regulatory situation has not yet made any country itchy enough to jump the gun, he says.
As it stands, deep-sea mining is a game for two. If a company wants to mine in international waters, it needs to partner up with an ISA member state. The country, in turn, must have regulations to govern the company’s activities. The ISA checks this as part of the application review process, but can’t compel a country to adopt any rules.
“It’s simply a question of peer pressure,” says Michael Lodge, the ISA’s secretary general. “That’s how the international system works.”
If there’s a difference between the country’s laws and those of the ISA, the company must meet the higher standard, says Mike Johnston, CEO of Toronto-based Nautilus Minerals Inc. Nautilus found its partner in the Tongan government, and has since been granted 75,000 square kilometers of prospective territory in the eastern Pacific Ocean.
The international regulations under development will also impact mining in national waters, since UNCLOS member states are required to pass laws that fall in line with international standards. But here again, the ISA does not have the power to compel nations to adopt provisions.
That the ISA has not yet landed on a set of rules puts countries such as Papua New Guinea—where Nautilus plans to open the first commercial deep-sea-mining operation—in an uncertain state. There’s no international template for Papua New Guinea to follow, says Conn Nugent, director of the Pew Charitable Trusts’ efforts to study and guide the development of seabed mining. Papua New Guinea’s Mining Act governs both onshore and offshore activities.
The ISA has also yet to determine how it will enforce regulations and respond to allegations of noncompliance. There are provisions within its mandate to create an inspection arm, says Lodge, but it has not been established because mining has yet to begin. Currently, the ISA has no revenue to fund an enforcement division before mining begins, says Nugent, adding that the two will probably be parallel processes.
The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea presents one option for member nations to settle disputes, says Nugent. The tribunal was established by UNCLOS to deal with any major disputes that would arise from the treaty.
Still, Nugent has confidence that the ISA will eventually develop and enforce strong policies. Unlike high-seas fishing, which is regulated by more than a dozen regional agencies, the entirety of the international seafloor falls under the ISA’s purview. This centralization will help it create stronger, more coherent regulations for mining, says Nugent.
Besides, says Lodge, deep-sea mining is not a fly-by-night enterprise—a deep-sea-mining operation requires an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. This means that companies will have to get money from banks, and banks want certainty. “The consequences of license denial are extremely high,” says Lodge. A company that opts to go rogue after failing to get ISA approval will quickly find itself without the financial backing it needs to operate.
Many scientists, however, argue that we do not yet know enough about the potential effects of mining in deep-sea ecosystems to create sound regulations, let alone begin mining. Nugent agrees, but he also notes “the time to write environmental protections is before an activity becomes profitable.
“There are no regulations yet. This is a wonderful, I would even say historic, opportunity to help write the rulebook to [govern] an extractive activity before the activity begins.”

Yes. Wash, rinse, repeat. Some hold enough stock that they can play the short game. So let's say I sold 100k at .32. Maybe that drives the price down. Then I buy back in lower. That's all this is. The sudden critiques the negatives, it's all about trying to make the market do what you want and it works to some extent. What we have here is a failure to communicate. Outside of that game there are others accumulating which is why we bounce and seem to melt up. Heck even the traders contribute to that by buying back in.
One contract and I hope to see $1.72. »2.36
Have to concur with the limited info I have. Li says what he means. This race will be won by the tortoise. I'm good with slow and steady.
Looking forward to +$1, the wife and I already planned what to do if that happens. I'll pay my house off lol. Seriously think this has a good chance of happening.
Raw material will go into finished goods, that means revenue.

Apple Granted 56 Patents Today Covering an Edge-to-Edge iPhone Display, Touch ID under the Display & 3D Scanner
Games you are man, what do you know about these?
Peoples were taking profits, thats my thought. Its to be expected.
This is pretty interesting I have to say I like my LQMT even better than that underwater gold mine stock I bought :)
I believe there was a mention about this in the latest post where Li discuss liquidmetal. We are temporarily out of the military business for now. Thats how I read it.
Company confident PNG seabed mining project on track
Michael Johnston:
The company is confident the project will be on track to start extracting ore in the first quarter of 2019, he said.
"So that's the budgeted first ore date and we're tracking to that schedule at the moment so I don't see any reason why it won't achieve it."
http://www.radionz.co.nz/international/p...t-on-track
Yes Josh thanks for posting. Great reality check, but very consistent with everything disclosed. Man I think I am going to hold some LQMT for a long time. Maybe a 50,000% over 20 years :)
Real live luxery phone and not Apple. Who in the world could be making these?
Sweet patent. It really is a cool way to form up parts. I wonder how advanced the moving molds are now and where this will go. Probably will be able to create mega molds that are programed to reshape while operating to create new and unique items. Thanks for posting.
Nice I just bought some too. Best way to support.
Interested to see how it or if it translates to lqmt.
Thanks Cala!
Thinking if this is the case then perhaps I should be looking at buying a Tesla.
Nice long term number there, quite a nice dream. I'd go with purple :)
