LOL....thank you Tom.
Hmmm...no posts for about 10 hours.
Well, heard this morning.. a $10,000 investment in Warren Buffets company, later to become Berkshire
Hathaway, would now be worth $900 Million. And all one would have to do was put the stock away
and go on living. No one to discuss it with, no DD, no internet boards.
500,000 sh "not much but enough" Good grief stop it. I did have that amount, now a little lower.
I could reverse mortgage my house and buy a few million more shares....but I like the house and don't want the possibility of winding up in a one bedroom apartment.
Ah, yes, someone mentioned before that's what it seems he may have done. See how things can get so twisted??
One possibility about Tonys sell, along with Houcks....is that Li may be one of those CEO's that keeps
his ideas to himself until he's ready to make a move. Its his money they are all playing with, its his building, his machines. I'm sure he's learned to keep ideas close to the vest. He seems to be a brilliant man, as other CEO's of TESLA, Amazon, Netflix, Google, and Alibaba. Since we're still in the dark, at where we are now, just about any scenario can happen, good and bad. I wonder if those other CEO's discussed their ideas around the table with all the BOD. Perhaps not. So that's a positive spin. Tony's sell was disturbing to me as it should have been. It encouraged me to sell some shares.
20% of what I had, but it wasn't the only reason. I'm happy with that decision and always will be, no matter what LQMT does.
As for disasters. TESLA was on the brink of bankruptcy. If they had had one more failed rocket launch, they would have lost their government contract and the Tesla Car would have been dead. NETFLIX, the stockholders, at least on the message boards, called him a scam artist, wanted to report him to the SEC.
Then all of a sudden the company transformed. No prior warning. "BOOM". Amazon was selling books,
and all of a sudden it transformed. Who would have thought Jeff Bezos had such a mind.
And Li stands out because of his amazing background and his prior successes. There are so many ways LQMT can go. So many variables. Soon the building will have its new power grid in, if not already.
If contracts are signed, I'm sure Li will find more buildings and fill it with more machines. Look at the buildings BEZOS is putting up.
So that's it. We are where the stockholders of the companies I mentioned had been. No clue on where they were going but they liked the concept. I'm sure those that held from almost the beginning to reap the greatest rewards are a fraction of the stockholders now.
Li knew the technology and the patents of LQMT and the capabilities of the machine and the combination of EONTECS patents. Totally different kettle of fish.
Steipp played it by ear, along with printing more shares. Remember Steipp and Visser?? Makes me sick to my stomach to think about it. It's amazing any of us are still here. And I don't have a clue how
I ran into LQMT and bought in. I usually have a very good memory....but that part of my investment
is blank. Very strange...
Congrats on having the will power to hold that long. I remember Oled. I remember it had interesting technology, but it wasn't moving. Youth brings "want it now". So having a stock languishing
even though the technology is intriguing, while so many other stocks are moving up....
its difficult to say "I'm holding this for years". Of course if one is already wealthy it makes that task much easier. But even the most familiar ones have been climbing for 10 years now. APPLE, AMAZON,
NETFLIX, etc.
And now here we are in another very interesting technology, and what seems just about ready to
rise significantly.
Yes, there is great frustration. The Holidays also bring frustration, plus too many spend too much time
arguing positions, or possibilities.. Not good for health. I found my solution, but I won't mention it again.
Plus some good movies coming to theaters. We all need to find an outlet..
$20 a share will do me just fine...
Im comfortable with 400K shares....I wasn't with 500K shares....
You know yourself better than anyone, but sometimes people can get pulled into the euphoria
of great riches and lose hold of rationality. I post these suggestions, not to influence anyone to sell,
but just to take time to think. We all come with different experiences in investing. MANY are here in this penny stock with stories of stocks they sold too early, or held too long convinced they knew the future.
I sold a bunch of shares some weeks ago, maybe a month, but that was planned. I bought the shares
in March and had hoped it would go up enough for a good profit, so I could sell it within the year to boost up my bank account...I was over extended. LQMT did go up and I sold. In the hospital i had a couple of days of laying on my back to do some thinking and I decided I still didn't feel "safe" in how much I had in cash reserves. So I sold more when I got out. Chung selling didn't help. The relief I felt, having sold at a decent profit, and knowing that money would again be in my bank account was worth it. I see great frustrations on the board now...because we see nothing being done as far as contracts. If I hadn't sold
more shares, I also would be cranked up and VERY frustrated and nervous. So I'm left with 400,000 shares. I only say how many shares to let people know where I "stand" in the stock. I didn't think I'd go below 500,000 shares, but then I realized that's just a number. It indicates nothing as to what I'd do if LQMT started up significantly. That would depend on what I felt I needed or wanted as a profit, and that
has changed since I first invested. A few years ago, I thought "One Million Dollars"...my goal is no longer that lofty. And that is about where I am in life, and my age, and what I feel I need. "One Million Dollars" was a dream from childhood. I had to ask my "adult self" what I really would be happy with. That continues to change.
But yet you say you will buy on dips. Get out of that circle of madness. Be content with what you have.
until you see more justification to buy more.
There is a great tax advantage in holding a stock over 12 months.
We can argue the point when I bring you down to Celebrate LQMT hitting $2 a share by going on a cruise to the Bahamas. Oasis of the Seas is coming to Canaveral...one of the giant ships....and another beautiful one is coming here too. Oasis is so big you'd swear you were in some city. No feeling of ship movement at all.
When the idea of "hard work" is brought up in success, its never mentioned about the sociopaths that also are trying for success, and they are ruthless.
No. Some other penny stocks. TESLA was a sure thing to me...I even recommended it to another saying
"BUY IT ITS GOING TO BE BIG" and then I sold mine with no reason. Well, there was a reason, a subconscious psychological reason plus an OCD reason. If I ever write my life story, its going to come with a coupon
for one free box of Kleenex. The amazing thing, in spite of self destructive investing, I wound up in a place I truly love only through miraculous events. So that kind of balances out not being rich. And being rich was only a way to prove to myself that I was a success in life. I have finally started to feel I am anyway, considering the obstacles I had to deal with.
And you were expecting a yes or no answer...oh if life could be that simple..lol.
Yes, it seems so, but time without contract news can create paranoia.....along with reading posts
of possible negative outcomes. You are consistently hyped, so I hope it all works out for you.
along with the rest of us. It takes great risk, usually, for great rewards.
Well, I meant there will be time to make good profits even though some rise will be missed. If LQMT takes off it will be because the future "Billions" will be a great possibility. So it will have a way to go, plus you'll have the traders that will give it pull backs, etc. I thought I'd just mention my personal experience on why I sold, not to scare anyone, but I see some investors getting very upset about no news, and also
the possibility of some alternative avenues that won't be so good for the stock but they seem to keep buying. That will only raise the anxiety higher. Sometimes I think that buying more shares in a case like LQMT helps verify to the investor that its almost a sure thing. "I'm buying more, therefore only good will come." I'm talking from personal experience in other investments. Like "if we all keep buying that will be proof all we expect will happen."
Well, I may get stoned by saying this but try to consider we once were at 6 cents. I have a feeling...
yes, "feeling"...what else do we have but feelings and hope.....that 2018 is going to be a VERY good year.
18 months for Li?? Heck he could barely get his leather chair seat warm in that amount of time.
Did selling some shares and calling the chickens back to the bank do me good? Yes. It put more balance in my "risk" equation. If LQMT is going to blow sky high eventually, what stock remains will give me enough reward. That's what was causing the anxiety. I had too much on the table. If great news comes out that finally shows a golden road pathway, then there will be plenty of time to buy more. And if we find ourselves in a gradual road to dollars land, what I have now will do just fine. Not saying to sell, but
if the anxiety is so great with an investment that it starts to affect other aspects of ones life,
its time to reconsider the amount of skin in the game.
Good Luck as usual.
It was Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder, inherited......that did it, not nervousness. A horrible thing to have. Folic Acid cured it all. I feel very good now by increasing my bank account and still have a substantial amount of shares. I just needed to balance things out a little. I think all investors need to periodically take an accounting of where they are, what are their goals, because things change. Outlooks change. Needs change. Philosophies on life change. The amount I sold today gave me an even greater sense of peace...things are much more balanced.
OMG Eagle..LOL. I LOVE This place. I just listed things that can go wrong and I need to know I have funds for it all. That's backed up by the fact I have PLENTY of shares to make me very happy
if LQMT takes off. Time changes how we see things. It gives us different perspectives.
There is "THE VILLAGES" in Florida....biggest retirement community in the US and continually growing.
That is a possibility. Check it out, its amazing.
But everything I could possibly need here is within 2 miles. It all built up after I moved in. And the most wonderful Gym anyone could want one mile away.
Come to Florida...you will love it. And NO State Taxes.
As I have said before here, my last big chance was TESLA, I had 3000 shares at $30 a share soon after the IPO..
but I sold because of OCD. That was finally cured in 2012 the same year I bought Tesla, which took away my need to trade.
Unfortunately that left over $one Million on the table. We all have such stories. How I got into
LQMT I cannot remember. But with OCD gone, so was any desire to be in stocks. So this is my last
investment. The idea of buying stocks now sickens me. I physically cannot do it. But amazingly, all these horrific actions in investing brought me to a very good place.
My focus now will be to write about my life journey because it is quite amazing. I may put it on the internet in a certain site where it may catch the eye of a publisher, depending on how many hits it gets.
But I will send it to friends that keep asking me where I am on it.
For LQMT, anything can happen. Did Chungs selling bother me? of course it did....now his move to Korea? Also Houcks selling. Those are danger signs for any stock, but its balanced with Li. But what are the intentions of Li?? I won't speculate on that, and this is not to scare anyone, because I know everyone has to have been thinking along the same lines, but a dream is hard to let go. I didn't totally let go....
but I did back off. My large number of shares was based on things happening much faster than they have. Yes, we have the building but is anything going on in it? And how big a contract will move the stock? Some can wait years, I can't.... Again, my horrible investing decisions of jumping out of stocks that later would have made me quite wealthy, got me to a place I love and cannot see myself leaving.
Wealth could have brought me misery. We see it every day.
I re evaluated my position and decided I had too many shares. Blame it on (sorry to mention it again),
my stay in the hospital and not knowing what was happening. I decided if LQMT does what we all hope it does, eventually, like maybe going to $1, or even a little less, then I would be very happy with much less in shares. I calculated a few things. Replacement of a roof, my 14 year old Camry giving up, replacement of a heating/air conditioning system, fixing up a bathroom that no longer is usable,
and some upgrades to the house, getting the house painted, and perhaps a new kitchen counter.
Plus unforeseen expenses. I decided I was WAY over extended with those possibilities hanging over my head. I hate being in any kind of debt. Its the same reason I sold shares a few months ago. My security cushion was not enough on what could happen. I had a lot of shares in anticipation of LQMT going up much sooner.
So, I sold more this morning but I still have a very large position. And with the cash in the bank I will be more relaxed to hold the remaining shares to see where we go. And it all has to do with my age and where I am in life and what I need in the future. Those items are different for each of us. And we have to keep it in mind. If LQMT bumps way up, I will not fret over what I sold because of the amount I still own.
I, and I think like many here, the excitement I had for LQMT has gone. The word "NothingBurger" comes to mind. Maybe its the Holidays. I've taken some off the table and I feel better about that then
having the stock. I look to the future and see a "void". Reminds me of when I got excited about the "Knife", and thought about Millions being sold all over the world. What in the heck was I thinking??
As for positive news and a contract?? But then we do know..don't we?? That ingots are stocked
at the facility. But that doesn't indicate anything. They need ingots for prototypes. Sorry to say I feel you had the right idea. I did the same to a much smaller degree.
Bah Humbug. I'll start working on the house and get my mind off it. And I'll get my Lamborghini
from Toys R Us.
You are correct. Li has a great reputation in many fields, and has built a high tech Billion Dollar Company. Some ask for proof from the company on what's going on. APPLE never gave proof to anyone on what's going on, until it was declared to the public. Along with all the other giants of the Tech Industry. No one shows their hand until all the pieces of their plan are in place and ready to go.
We know we are some distance from that with LQMT. Extra power is being put into the building, but
its not just the lone LQMT building, its EONTEC too and what it may be doing. And what APPLE has in its plans. Remember when Jobs was thrown out of APPLE?? WOW, and who came back to save it.
Didn't he also start up PiXAR during that time? Stockholders and the Board, THREW HIM OUT of the company. I thought I'd write this for some balance.
As for sellers, I guess "we" shouldn't even mention it. All it does is heighten the anxiety no matter what the reason for selling. Hopefully I won't be doing anymore....and won't be telling if I do.
So, we had someone declaring he sold all shares and for reasons very understandable...personal reasons, and of course how can we ignore insider selling. I sold more shares last week because of some life conclusions I came to while I was in the hospital recently. The risk I was taking was out of balance
with my need. I had a huge number of shares, and still do, but I questioned my objective at this time in my life. We can have dreams of great wealth but time passes and dreams change. Mine have. I had to acknowledge that. Many are here because we were on ships that were prepared to bring us all our dreams, but we jumped off the ship before it even left the dock. The story of most investors.
I thought about how many shares I had and if all our wishes happen with LQMT, then where the stock
will go, the need for as many shares as I had made no sense. Having the funds in the bank made plenty of sense. Now I have cash reserves for even more unexpected expenses. That is quite liberating.
A great sense of peace comes with a large bank account. But as my trip to the ER proved, there are things a big bank account won't help. I will be much more appreciative about the life I have now, not
that I wasn't before, but I'll be more aware on the fragility of life.
So Friday we bumped up on average volume. The patents keep pouring in. More speculation on APPLES next move. And of course Li is one of those "genius" men that have all the talents to bring an idea into
a business in the Billions. The list grows of men of this caliber. No need to list them. We all know them.
But will the same story be true for LQMT? Well, early investors in Amazon, Google, NETFLIX, Alibaba, and so many others, asked the same question and some said "this company isn't going anywhere" and sold. Others held, but I think very few others held.
We all are here for the same purpose, but we are all in different stages in life. We all have different needs. And that's my rant for this morning... Good Luck whatever your decisions will be.
Most are asking the same thing to themselves, plus many other questions.....but no one wants to give up the dream.
I think you need to do a little more research "folks".
Why are many assuming that Li is out scrounging for contracts. Could another possibility be he already has agreements? He has contacts through EONTEC and many other places. Are too many assuming this is another Steipp scenario where we finally get a "knife contract" as low hanging fruit? Wouldn't it also be just as easy to see Li with contacts in the automotive world, medical, scientific, etc? Are too many seeing Li as having the same baseline as did Steipp.
Yes, quite a good day from what many were expecting including me. I was so sure I was going to be pressing that sell button on some shares. Not sure what's going on with all the strange volatility and now todays results. Hopefully we'll have another somewhat restful day tomorrow.
A very very strange chart today...
I was contemplating on selling more today, but then some good IHUB posters gave me a better way of looking at Chungs selling....so thanks to those for that.
There, that's the spirit. Positive reasons why things happened.
That seems rational and legitimate. So a "little" sigh of relief here. Perhaps others can comment
on the legitimacy of this scenario before we all go running off a cliff??
Why would that be necessary??
Which means??
Okay...Chung sold....so what is the explanation for last Thursday?? Who jumped back in and why??
Over 20 Million shares traded. Was that Li trying to keep the PPS propped up?? And what happens tomorrow.
What in the heck is going on?? Whose playing these games??? More accumulation??
THIS IS MOST BIZARRE.
Last Thursday becomes even more mysterious....
Its a nothing morning......which makes Thursday even more suspicious......I'm sure there are many opinions on what happened. I'd like to think it was huge manipulation....to drive the PPS down
so cheap shares could be bought....because "someone knows something".
