How does one trade LQMT in the extended hours? I can’t do that using TDAmeritrade. And if the $.08 buy really happened this morning, why isn’t it reflected in today’s price range, which is currently .0950 - .1000?
That has to be an error. AFAIK, Lqmt isn’t sold in the premarket. Furthermore, this morning’s Level II has an ask of $.0990 and a bid of $.0960.

That’s so funny. I can relate to that 100%.
I’m not sure why it is, but that has happened to me. From past experience, my regular limit orders have filled, often a portion at a time over several minutes, when my all or none orders went unfilled. So I don’t use all or none orders anymore.
If you place an order, of any kind, and it doesn’t fill, just edit your order and increase your bid by a few percent and it will fill.
I never understood diddling over a few percentage points on a bid when the goal is to sell that stock in the future for a gain of hundreds or thousands of percentage points. — I’ll amend that. I can see the utility of trying to squeeze every last nickel out of a short term transaction. But if one is truly long and strong, and is looking to sell down the road at many multiples of the current ask price, why refrain from buying shares if the cost is only a few points over one’s initial bid?
I’ll bet dollars to donuts that some folks who wouldn’t increase their bid of $.0830 when the ask was $.0840 will be buyers at $.15 or more.
Today’s move up is not the move we anticipate. It’s peanuts. There won’t be a major jump up until either a PR announces a major contract, or a Q-10 shows a very big upswing in revenues. Until then, day traders will be out in force.
How many moons ago was that? 216 (18 years)
The IPO price was $15. It hit $20 a few days or weeks later... not exactly sure because that was before I heard about the company. That was in the Fall of 2002. It dropped back to the $8 range a few months later and very slowly descended into darkness during the next few years. It was eventually thrown off the NASDAQ.
You should hope that history repeats itself, with regards to this stock. It once was a $20 stock.
There is far less manipulation than you’d think based on the posts here. It’s a regulated industry, and if there was as much manipulation as some have indicated, the SEC would shut down those companies. The MMs do finagle a bit, especially when the demand is low, but they do not hold back the price. As noted, they make their big bucks when a stock goes higher in price and the demand is up.
It’s not a conspiracy of the MMs that is holding this stock down (and there are many MMs buying and selling shares in LQMT, so if MMs were holding the price down, it would have to be a conspiracy of many and the not the action of just one or two). What’s keeping the price low is the lack of demand coupled with the unwillingness of players to pay more than the current price range. The low demand and reluctance to pay more for LQMT stock is based on low revenues coupled with an 18 year history of hype and false promises.
Thanks to the DD, and willingness to share pertinent information by the likes of Joshuaeyu, Games, JoTu and several others, those of us who read this message board understand that this is not the LQMT of old. It’s a fundamentally different company than it used to be. It’s gone from having to beg for venture capital loans each year, just to keep the lights on, to a strong financial position; and it’s evolved into a company that was once run by people with no knowledge or experience in the metal materials industry to being run by one of the world’s leading experts in amorphous metals technology. Furthermore, for the first time in the company’s history, they have the manufacturing capability (via Yihao) to actually deliver products in significant volume... and are doing just that with their first lighthouse project. Add to that all of the interest in, and the growing demand for, BMG parts across many sectors, and it’s not difficult to see high volume orders in LQMT’s near future. But only those who follow this company closely understand the progress of the company and the general growth of the BMG industry. We see the future value here. Most do not. Hence the low price.
Very few investors have heard of LQMT. And most of those who buy and sell this penny stock are looking to make a few bucks on quick trades.They don’t know what is happening with this company or with amorphous metals. So, for now, it’s mainly a penny stock play. But once LQMT gets a contract or two from a major company, and news gets out to that effect, there will be nothing to keep this stock price from exploding to the up side.
Just the opposite. Since the MM’s are middlemen who make their money by selling at higher prices than they bought shares for, when a stock takes off, their profits increase dramatically.
I like the way you think. But I sure hope LQMT is re-listed on the NASDAQ long before those charging problems are solved.
Agree. The TA is fun. I certainly see the validity in it.
I’m not knocking the charts, but the move I am looking for is not a jump up to 9 or 10 cents, but one up to $1 or more. And that will be foretold by the right PR or 8k, and not by the charts. I’m not a day trader, so short term trends, one way or the other, don’t concern me. But I’m happy for those who can make money on short term trades and I do find the charts interesting, so I appreciate your keeping us informed on their movements.
About a decade ago Kang blew a deal with SAFILO Group to make eyeglass frames out of liquidmetal. Eyeglass frames are a huge business. Nice to see them displayed in EON’s promo. It’s a natural fit for high end frames.
Got it. Thanks. Like you. I’m staying.
You and me both!

It’s easier to board the train at the station than it is to jump on when it’s roaring down the track.
THANK YOU JOSHUAEYU! One need not understand Chinese to understand the hand writing on the wall. So many diverse parts: Orthopedic pins, screws and prosthetic ball joints; so many diverse CE parts (cell phone frames, camera housings, tablet frames, etc); auto parts (in addition to the door lock frames), and on and on and on.
Mind blowing.

According to the company’s historical records, price topped out at close to $20. It’s IPO price was $15. Those prices occurred before I heard of the company, so I didn’t buy in at those prices. I did but a few $8 shares. (Ouch!) But I’m happy with my $.11 average share cost.
Great product for the future... maybe 2-3 years. But it may wind up in the Fruit basket before then.
Cool. Thanks.
BTW, look at that company’s chart (ticker symbol WATT... I kid you not). Looks a little like LQMT’s chart. They went from $30 to $1.80.
Any guess as to what that product may be?
Two thumbs up, DMN. Excellent post.
It’s easy to critique a single event when viewed as a standalone data point, devoid of historical context. By itself, BB’s blog reads like a list of pie in the sky, worn out, repetitious, unfulfilled promises. It’s only when the blog is put into the historical context of what has actually happened to the company over the past two years that one can differentiate between threadbare promises and valid predictions.
Happy New Year to all.
Does BB know that NASA is using the LQMT trademark on their rockets?
Wrong. Again. Just sayin’...
? Not sure why you linked to the March, 2016 filing.
IIRC, Amorphology is a licensee of LQMT’s technology. - Go gears!
Exactly. There is way too much over thinking going on here. Lugee isn’t buying more shares in LQMT. That’s for certain. There aren’t enough shares left in the company for Lugee to buy $10M dollars worth of shares (@ .08 that = 125 million shares)... and he’s certainly not crazy enough to dilute his current shares by forcing the company to issue over another 100 million shares just so he can buy up those shares. That’s just crazy thinking. Rather, it’s not thinking at all. It’s just wild guessing.
We have no idea what he’s going to do with the money. We don’t even have any indication that his plans for it has anything to do with LQMT. The man owns a lot more companies than LQMT.
Ha ha. There have been so many posts about so many new developments that anyone who can keep it all straight missed out on some of the details.
We are not facing more dilution. If Lugee buys more shares for himself, or if he grants shares to key employees for their good work, those shares have to come from the total number of shares that were authorized shorty before Lugee bought his shares in this company. A company cannot pull shares out of thin air. (Unlike our government which can print money out of thin air.) Besides, Lugee would be shooting himself in the foot if he tried to push a vote of shareholders to increase the number of authorized shares.
