Well, it was nice to have the dream for a few hours.
Wow, now isn't that an interesting little nugget. I'm sure Mark knew exactly what he was doing dropping that hint. And I'm sure some will be hunting for companies that "could be it".
So many possible answers to that question. I don't have a clue. But as with many stocks I've had, and others here have had, but let go, no one knew they would catapult in PPS price. No one had a clue on where they were going. Those that made the big killing and gained the greatest reward are few. The rest had one missing quality..patience.
Yes, he knows. Of all people he knows how great wealth is made in the market. Its even more difficult
now because we're in a world of instant gratification. He has the patience and his reward is being
one of the richest men in the world. And he still lives in the same house he did when he started I believe.
He probably has a lot of LQMT stock and probably posts here regularly....now we'll have to guess
which one of "us" he is.
I have seen what the quest for great wealth does to people. Especially in the entertainment profession.
So many are worth over $100 Million, but it never seems to be enough. Do you ever hear of their "good deeds"?? Ah yes, one would think that they want to keep a low profile...not brag about the good they do.
NOT SO. Its because they aren't doing any good. If they were, you can be sure they'd let us know.
You are right about "can never be too rich", but that has a great negative to it. It means no matter how rich, satisfaction will never be achieved.
I got caught up in the LQMT Frenzy. 300K shares...then it went to 400K shares, then 500K shares,
then for some months 600K SHARES...to reach some "number goal" with no plans for it. And all of a sudden...I asked myself..."what in the heck am I doing?" And the entrapments of great wealth, its amazing how quickly you can get used to it and then get bored and then want more. And then it becomes a disease.
I read years ago, a survey was taken, from the wealthy in mansions. They were asked.."if everyone could have a mansion such as yours, would you still want one." the majority said "no". I wanted one
but if I did, I wouldn't be in this wonderful neighborhood, with neighbors I've been with for over 20 years.
I feel part of a community, and even part of a "family" of neighbors. Through horrific mistakes and some
unavoidable, I was in and out of stocks that eventually would have brought me the great wealth I always wanted. Now I realize that wasn't what I needed. What I needed is what I have right now. Its amazing to me how it all worked out.
So IF LQMT goes to the "couple of Dollars", bringing me to the atmosphere of a millionaire....I don't have a clue of what i'd do with it except perhaps help some friends. Upgrade my house, and have enough if I wanted to move into an active retirement community, but right now I have all I want...
except a some what large bank account but I'm realizing I'll probably do quite nicely with what I have now.
Sorry for the length. But I have started focusing on creative writing instead of worrying about LQMT,
and I'm loving it. If I get published, all will get a free copy signed...
I've re thought my "can't go any lower" price before I jump ship so I'm good. I've become a home body,
my adventurous travels behind me, thanks to my job. the RV is out, along with the Lamborghini...either one could get me killed. Driving the RV alone and parking....easy picking for robbers....
and the Lamborghini the same thing. It means "big moneY' so I'd fear having someone follow me home
to get my address for robbery later...and that ladies and gentlemen...is reality.
Getting back into a financial comfort zone helped. the Paranoia about Li has greatly decreased, but
I'll be ready for anything.
Always nice to see "us" mentioned. Hope upon Hope. And they even included the bouncing balls.
I was listening to the news this morning and a segment on BIT COIN. I don't even know what it is,
or how to buy in. Is it on the commodities exchange? But I had read articles on people that knew nothing about it but bought some on a lark and made a fortune. I think its in the thousands of dollars now for one coin. Reminds me of the "Tulip" commodity of decades ago, where people bought in because of the excitement and also the skyrocketing prices. It all came crashing down, but I imagine a slew of people
got rich.
And as I said a few days ago, those that invested with Warren Buffet right at the git go. a $10,000
investment would be worth $900 MILLION today. A good number of those people live in Omaha.
There has been quite a negative atmosphere here recently. Me included. Too much silence for too long.
But when one writes down on paper "facts", well, it even makes ones head spin faster. APPLE/PATENTS/
Li/Li's own money to the tune of $65 Million/new building/ a couple of machines/ EONTEC Patents/
That and more with a skyrocketing stock market and we're losing our collective behinds as LQMT falls.
I know there are a few here, including me, that are saying..."again? this is happening to me again?"
for me its close to SORCERY... My stories of "almost made it" is strange indeed.
But the name "LiquidMetal" still seems to be in the back of the mind of many. Are we being walked down slowly for some nefarious reason? or is that wishful thinking? Whatever happens, I hope we come through it with more forging to make us even stronger....BUT ENOUGH OF THE DAMN FORGING.
I"M TIRED OF LIFE LESSONS.....I'd like to win the stuffed teddy bear at least ONCE.
Good Post. Its good to go over past positives, or hints thereof, because sometimes it gets lost in all the speculative noise whether positive or negative.
Because of no news, the idea of scam raises its ugly head, just as it did during Steipps rein. And some of us have been involved in scams both in the market and just in life. Great doubts can grow. It happens to me so I have to counteract it with knowledge that APPLE is also involved, with a boat load of patents in the CIP. But then I wonder will these patents pay off or will some other technology forge ahead
in the amorphous metal arena. This is why there are fewer millionaires than there could be in the realm of stock investors. Some of the biggest high tech companies started with meager beginnings,
and no one had a clue to where they were headed. All of a sudden an announcement is made that completely transforms the company. And those transformations continue until you have a stock that was once a few dollars and now way over one hundred.
LQMT has been agonizing in so many ways. Yes, we have a great CEO because of his past performance with EONTEC and his quick move to buy LQMT shares...plus putting his own money in.
He knows the business of moulds and product and production. When he bought the shares and Steipp
was asked to leave...that was the beginning of the company. A second beginning.
The DOW is surging and breaking records on a daily basis, and we're all here losing precious wealth.
That is not easy to take. So me personally, the specter of having another stock that dwindled to nothing
is coming to mind more often now. It helped to sell some of my shares.
Just from the posts and lack of posts and familiar posters, I know many are reaching their limit
in the ability to wait.
Its understandable that most here are getting pretty upset about the slow decline in the PPS.
I got somewhat suspicious when the buys were twice the sells yesterday or Thursday by a big margin, for a period, but we were still in the red. Is this part of "walking the price down while accumulating"?
All sorts of scenarios can be conjured up during this time. Yes, we had insider selling by two that should not have been selling and then one moves to Korea? Is that a red flag NOT to be ignored?
Now we have little activity at the building. No word from Li's company. Can they produce anything?
Well, I have "the knife" whose intricacy in design amazes me. So I have proof right here what can be done.
Li supposedly has patents that can combine with the CIP patents, to give larger pieces than before.
So we have that. Some talk about Li buying out LQMT if the PPS falls enough. Well, APPLE may have something to say about that.
More companies are getting involved in BMG's, but would what they are doing Clash with the APPLE
PATENTS?? OR EONTEC PATENTS?? Some used to say we had the market cornered in Patents.
And they keep coming. I would think that APPLE would want to get a BMG casing before anyone else.
Are we seeing end of year selling??
I don't have a clue on what's happening.
I thought you sold everything two days ago. I can't keep up.
Yes, that's the "Bug a boo" to all this. Fear of getting out just before the HUGE announcement
of some patent that will allow huge sheets of LQMT.
I got it, 25 more machines are on their way to the facility. Yes, that's it.
I'm just glad I sold the shares I did. 100,000 short term and 100,000 long term. I know you all would want to know.
Now I have a nice buffer which brought my anxiety level way down. I no longer wake up in the middle
of the night hollering..."I can't pay for a new roof". or new car, or fix the bathroom, etc. etc etc.
Fill in the blanks as you will. NOW I CAN.
As far as travel. I was a traveling maniac in my job. Now when I see a jetliner flying over I look up and say.."There is no way I'm getting into one of those contraptions again."
I'm looking forward to getting another fresh turkey for Christmas. I got a small one for Thanksgiving
and I had forgotten how good a turkey sandwich tastes.
Good movies coming in next week and weeks after so make sure you get out and see some. BE HAPPY.
What happened to Ridge? Anyone??
Twice as many Buys as Sells, but yet. ..............
Does that tell us anything??
Who said buyers are in the house. Im down $3500.
Maybe he does get it and that's why he dresses like he doesn't give a poop.
Anyone look at the buys to sells yesterday and if so, did it look like manipulation to take the PPS down
with selling fewer shares and then a bigger buy back??
You are correct. Two at the top sold. I hate that. But they also have options to buy more?
Nothing is making sense. But right now my interest is on the congressional hearings that soon may
shock all americans and the foundation of this country.
Good luck to us all in many ways.
You see the volume?? The Chart?? RIDICULOUS !!!!!!!!
I know....its all a game of emotions and how to control them. I think the big winners are the ones where it comes naturally. Brain Chemistry perhaps. Some have more anxiety than others, and so many other differences. But they all are playing the same game.
LQMT is quite a conundrum. A highly respected businessmen...(I assume), from China...puts in tens of millions of his own money, but yet top officials are dumping shares like they are hot potatoes.
WE CANNOT CATCH A BREAK....our senses of sane actions are turned on their heads with whats has been going on. And that brings in the perfect time for manipulators.
I do NOT have a clue....I doubt anyone else does.
That is the big mistake. Putting too much in. It kind of comes under enthusiastic greed. I had too much in and backed my decision with my rhetoric. I wanted to get every possible bit of profit I could.
Didn't want to miss that big uptick. But if LQMT turns out what we dreamed....there will be plenty of time to buy more shares on the rise. Not soaking up every bit of profit possible, but enough to make
an investor happy. It sometimes takes a long time to learn a lesson. And absolutely nothing is a sure thing. I probably still have too much skin in the game.
Yes, we have to face it. He doesn't care what the PPS is. And he has other avenues he can take
that could leave us high and dry. "High and dry" never seemed appropriate....I think "sunk and drunk"
would be more like it.
I'm afraid I have to set my sights lower....so I'm checking the TOYS R US web site periodically,
to see if a Lamborghini toy car comes out made of the metal. Something that will fit in the hand
but big enough so a child won't swallow it. I'll put it on my computer desk next to my numbered knife.
Well, if you sold all your shares yesterday you should feel better. All the stress is gone and your money
is safe.
Okay, so I wasn't going to post. Well, I just needed to step back a little for balance. Just like selling
some shares gave me balance. So as I was cleaning up from breakfast...:
Li knew what he was getting before the purchase of LQMT shares. He knew the patents, he knew everything. As I said, I believe he's also involved in the TURING PHONE.
Li doesn't care about the PPS. He doesn't care if you sell. He's not depending on selling shares to survive, unlike Steipp. Li knows that when contracts are made the PPS will take care of itself.
So stop thinking Li has your current situation in mind. If you want to sell, don't matter to Li. That's where we are. Yes, he put MILLIONS into the company and there is no reason he can't put MORE MILLIONS in if necessary.
So, I forget, didn't "we" as a collective, come up with the number of 30 machines that could fit in that building??
Could someone that still has belief in the company, choose a product...like a car part or something,
and do some multiplication....and tell the rest of us how many "widgets" (ugh, that reminds me of economics class, which I hated and I hate that noun.) Anyway...tell us how many pieces can be cranked out PER DAY, with the number of machines that building can hold. If we know definitely how big of pieces can now be made, maybe make the item close to that size. And then perhaps some can
estimate the "revenue" from each piece.
If we're going to hold..we may as well think positive. Again, Li DOES NOT CARE that the PPS is falling...
you gotta get that in your mind now...his vision is for the future and he knows the PPS will catch up.
You're welcome.
I said I wasn't going to post until something significant happened, but I do scan posts. So I thought I might bring up something that hasn't been mentioned in quite some time.
There seems to be a lot of discussion on a possible APPLE/LQMT/Li arrangement and that may be why we're not hearing anything.
Remember the Turing Phone?? And the "Laser" company in California that was behind its development,
and also a great involvement with Li?? Didn't that also have a "LiquidMetal" half case??
Remember that the Turing Phone had crypto technology that no one else had, and there were discussions that possibly the Turing phone was really an attempt to get APPLE to come on board
in its development?? Yes. That's as much as I can remember but we haven't heard anything about it.
So maybe its design and product was for something else other than selling their own phone and then Li bought LQMT and so forth.
So that's it. I just thought of it today, so I thought I'd mention it.
I'm not one to holler "FIRE" in a crowded theater. Or scare investors for my own benefit. I have been totally honest here, but contributed very little to DD on LQMT.
I did admit to selling some shares. A big chunk that was bought in March of this year. It was going to be
a short term hold so I could build up my bank account. So I sold it at a nice profit. Then I decided to sell more because of this current situation where as usual, just about anything could happen. What the negative posters postulate could happen, and what the Unicorns guess could also happen.
But some keep saying if LQMT falls they will buy more shares. Well, I guess it all depends on how much one has in reserves, and where one is in life, but please don't bet the farm. IF LQMT comes out with
great news that will give us a clear vision of the future, then have funds ready in your account to buy more "at market". And don't cry about missing an uptick. My investment history has been an utter disaster. I think some can say the same here. How do I know?? Because we're all in a penny stock.
All sorts of things could be going on. Yes, Li could be playing a very interesting game with the APPLE PATENTS, etc, but we're not sure. We are again in a place were every scenario has a chance of happening, the good ones and bad ones. And APPLE keeps pumping out Patents.
Its difficult not to want to keep throwing money into LQMT, for some. For the first time for me, its easy to to keep some in reserve and also to pull some back. If LQMT starts a big rise there will be plenty of time to get in. Don't look back and say, "oh if only I had put in more before the rise." You can say that now...
"If only I had bought a load when it was 6 cents". You can say such things until it drives you mad.
Risky investing is okay, but greater caution is needed. Never think something is a sure thing. I've been there done that. I just got the second check from selling some of my stock and I'll be going to the bank
to put it in. My comfort zone has increased. But like most I'm in the dark on what is going to come of Li and LQMT. We've all had dreams of LQMT....well, some of those dreams came true...its gone up
over 400% since 6 cents...that's like a $25 stock going to $100. Not bad.
I won't be posting anymore until good news hits. I don't have a clue any more on what is going on. I doubt any one does.
Hold enough shares to be comfortable with, but don't bet the farm. If LQMT goes to dollar land,
considering how many shares most have....that should be plenty to bring many dreams.
Good luck.
Possibly the North Korea issue is somewhat responsible. I imagine South Koreans are also scared silly.
Correct. And sometimes changes are needed to keep the balance.
Looks like we're in a HUGE break out right now.....I think we'll see 40 by Friday...
Its impossible for me to buy back. Whats sold is sold. I have plenty if things turn around.
Probably so. I had to cash in some to feel more comfortable because we all expected something sooner and then the insider sales. Its okay to be a Unicorn, but one doesn't have to be a blind one.
So, I'm into a better comfort zone considering what we know now..which is very little.
That's understandable. Perhaps take some for New Years and 2018 Fourth July. My investment anxiety
was extremely lessened when I took out some "XMAS MONEY".
I forget, did you say you had shares??
So have you sold all your shares??
You have a right to be. This morning I went to the bank to deposit the check from my brokers for selling off some shares... ..I used to be happy seeing the brokerage amount for LQMT, now I feel more relieved seeing my new bank account.....
It sucks......
Could it be that we're going to have something POSITIVE to talk about today and maybe through the week? "WHEW".
A glimmer of hope??
And if you take it down to $4, which most here would love, see how reasonable it would be??
It was only easier before because there was no internet. And back then it was "buy and hold"... Thanks to CNBC, everyones become a trader....they changed the dynamics....but the buy and hold still works.
I just wish it would work on this dang thing.
