When is the big correction in gold coming? Dust is reacting, but more so (% wise) than Dgld.
it's mot binary. You could get your "no" vote and rare pop, too.
Consider sending them a letter, cc: atty.
Just vote "no"....it isn't so critical that they couldn't try again.
If they had offered explanation in their last CC, there wouldn't be the ambiguity.
I don't know MTRN that well at all levels but I have a general impression that they may not be in any rush about LM/LMQT or that they may be working jointly on a project that has been gating activities. In the meanwhile, LQMT could be enjoying the wait if it offers more opportunities to pick up some shares, etc.
Maybe an MTRN IR rep should be encouraged to attend a pre-meeting to discuss the perceived issues and then also attend the LQMT ASMH to reinforce their position and/or discuss them in front of other attendees.
If for some reason they aren't concerned, it could be telling.
ASHM might just be a rubber stamp formality. If MTRN has any issues, they might need to bring them up beforehand.
ML, you have a good day. person here isn't a pop investor. GLTA
What specifically is the "good news" (dilution generally isn't). Hype, hope, or solid known facts?
...meant " range" (vs. rage, lol)....might be some rage if nugt doesn't make it to 135 by Dec., right.
This stock also doesn't appear to have professional analyst coverage whereas a large number of higher quality stocks do. They are credible company examples (that communicate openly and frequently) that have made the moves (in % gains (without the losses)) that LQMT has demonstrated of late. Think about it, are you just in it waiting for a pop, or is something sustainable coming within your investment horizon.
Gold hasn't made the big drop yet that some credible professionals have been anticipating. They gave it until October 3rd, else rage bound to January for another cyclical decline (according to them).
Invest on taunts, hearsay, or hope; or invest on investment principles; investor be the judge.
There are countless examples of companies that do well and can demonstrate and communicate about it to general shareholders. This company is not demonstrating those characteristics. There may be occasional pumps and taunts, but as for improving financial conditions with sustainability (they did clear their debt but already they are talking again about a need for financing to stay solvent), they aren't demonstrating it. They apparently closed out business with prior CE customers to accommodate AAPL exclusivity without further revenue benefit according to them. It's been one big lead on for the last 2-3 years, and declining revenue. Maybe they are "on the cusp" of a major contract that they earlier indicated (about a year ago); but since then they haven't even mentioned it. There could be a contract announcement 4Q13 or 1Q14 but it won't be enough (according to them) to cover their expenses. Small progress is positive but not enough, so ......
It's gonna be good folks! but maybe not until 2016. Get it! 2016 ~ 6. Two sixes, iPhone 6.
SA is supposedly a miner with promise and it's down almost 5% today.
If price keeps dropping in the broad category, the resulting trading channel could be pretty wide.
Along with the "I hope so" charting package and sardine email newsletter.
This price action reminds me of when the price was around .33 about a year ago ... Just keep hangin' on, right. No thank you. IGolf related announcement better be good.
We're still in Sept., but not for long. Where's the big announcement that was right around the corner, forecasted in August.
There were shooting stars late July, going into August, and gold went lower; similarly for gdx (lower stars).
If we could depend on the 3x leverage, it would/could be lower.
Because NUGT has taken out its August low and GDX hasn't yet breached it.
It's a little over 11% for gdx to drop to July low and a little less than that ( about 10%) for gld to drop to it's low of July '13. For nugt, it's about 9%. With some consideration for decay and leverage, agree with earlier comments that nugt could potentially go to low 40s, e.g. 43ish.
Is this a tombstone low for NUGT or could it go lower?
In a weird way, trends in LQMT # of shares outstanding is kind of like quantitative easing and the Federal Reserve (keeps growing, difficult to execute on an exit).
88% loss (surprised it isn't more; suppose l/g (%) over time could be mapped relative to who was in charge at the time).
Or..."How the White Knights saved LQMT/LM and the .... Industry"
....or .... A case study to determine if lqmt survived the Kang era or just continued it, or
.... "a revival of ethics and how it helped to save the emergence of an industrial revolution", or
.... "A cast of characters....who done it?"
Meant to reply to you, sorry
Exactly, and (just throwing out topics):
* why it takes more than a good idea
* how greed can destroy shareholder value
* (the poplar topic in accounting courses on ethics and fraud):
"Executive Compensation"
* first mover advantage/disadvantage
* the untold story about second sourcing and how it helped
to destroy shareholder value
* when executive headcount exceeds producing employees
* toxic financing and how to mask it
* the peter principle in high tech
* (another accounting/mba/sec topic) a case study in smoke
And mirrors, e.g. transparency or lack of
* sophisticated scams
* etc.
LQMT would make a great Harvard Business Case Study.
The one where people actually work, lol. Yours.
They're probably waiting for a buyout/merger, else they'll keep diluting until they get one. They're top heavy for sure.
(Continued) Assuming the low of last week is taken out (according to him, JCarter)
Ride'm CBs, could be a ticket.
John Carter is looking for the big drop in gld consistent with L Edelson's original prediction. Triple witching last week traditionally/often takes the markets lower the following week (according to JCarter, pro with a good track record and speaking broadly).
A planned merger would explain why they might delay some manufacturing related licensing.
Maybe LQMT has been stalling in anticipation of a deal (merger) going through.
I think another poster already pointed it out.
If MTRN is gearing up for something (LM based), then to support second sourcing they could use VPC.
So, from a year plus ago, they could have gone from LQMT being first point of contact to now being close to a real contract with an existing MTRN customer, and with MTRN ready to take a direct role in sales (and manufacturing) if they haven't been already.
All along Steipp has mentioned interest in leveraging MTRN's channel.
OK, now I get it (and why MTRN wouldn't necessarily need LQMT execs unless somehow they are agreeing to divide up customer prospects based on who initiated the contact, etc.)
(continued) As an earlier poster pointed out, no significant business until a merger/acquisition goes through.
But how does that mesh/align with the next round of financing. Wouldn't a merger be enough to see them through?
Maybe the just need a little more time for one more round!....last call?
Another perspective: LQMT knew that they couldn't secure large accounts without second sourcing and used the verification from customers to make MTRN believe it. Solution: merge.
