It is hard to fathom that as the 17th approaches, the stock won't be going up in anticipation......
as some have said...does it make sense to have a grand opening with a couple of silent machines
in a building and donuts and coffee on a table.
You can say the same thing about Elon Musk...just think of all the companies he has....
space ships, electric cars, solar power cells, solar power home systems, tube rail system,
and probably more coming.
He's into so many things, he does remind me of Elon Musk. We have a Wunderkind as CEO.
"The Five Faces of Eve".
Oct. 17. From a prior post, was the grand opening first scheduled for an earlier date??
October 17. That is the date we should all be looking to. It will help ease frustrations...
I have been in LQMT for five years. That is average for a long term hold. At least 5 years. Most of the huge gainers, including APPLE, you would have had to be in much longer. Those that got into Berkshire Hathaway, had to wait a few decades for the big return. Some are worth TENS OF MILLIONS NOW...
Like others here, the hardest thing for me was to hold a stock. My inability to hold was caused
by OCD. Once that was cured, I could hold..and what stock was I in, when that happened?? LQMT.
Everything about stocks is based on "trading". That's the name of the game, but it isn't what's going to
bring the wealth. Oh yes, there are traders that will tell of a weekly gain, etc., but they will never tell
of the losses, and over time, like a Casino, the House wins. I'm betting 95% of the time.
Is it hard to look back to what could have been considering the stocks I've been in, if I had just held?
Yes. All the things I could have done, that I don't want to do now. A main home plus a condo in a few select places. Fancy cars, exotic trips. Well I have been on exotic trips thanks to a job I had.
Even Korea...where a helpful liaison officer, convinced me to let him make the hotel reservations...
for me and two contractors. "Unless you want all the bells and whistles, I can get you a good place",
so I said hesitantly..."ok". Well, his "less bells and whistles" was a house of prostitution. The "girls" were still taking their things out of the rooms when we got there. I moved us all to a better place of course.
But a funny memory.
OCTOBER 17...that is our goal...don't get all twisted up until then. Okay? Get out there and enjoy life.
Even Santa Clause and Happy Elves have bad days. We not only bring our opinions on LQMT to the board, but also part of what's happening in our personal lives. It can't be helped. Someone may have a touch of the flu and all seems dark and futile...they recover and they start riding Unicorns.
I did 10 laps in the gym pool and some weight machines today. Always helps. through all this,
don't forget to exercise. Now it seems scientists have a direct link between exercise and warding
off dementia.
I listened to the recently posted Bond comments. Thanks whomever. He's talking like we've been talking
for a long time. Saying its the only OTC-BB he ever considered. Now great potential. That is QUITE a rec. Now we just have to get Warren Buffet on board.
Okay, now some posts are getting me feeling better. I gotta stop watching so much news.
Just dip my toe in it now and then.
I could too, but then I think of what would I do if the air conditioning system had to be replaced ...or the car... or a new roof needed. One needs a cash buffer to sleep.
Well, its amazing how a nice spike in green can take one from gloom and doom to hope.
Glad I came in to check the PPS.
A LOT of people are bothered by world events. We should all be bothered by it. No one should have blinders on to what's happening in the world while one is invested in a speculative stock.
I'm pretty sure the low volume is partly due to the MSM news. Scary times indeed. VERY scary.
I watch the news and I feel I'm seeing a movie based on a Stephen King novel. I'm watching total
insanity going on.
It is bothersome. but awhile back another management type bought more shares, right??
And some speculated that he was "encouraged" by Li to do so?? Who knows. But its damn expensive
to live in that area. Many are leaving California for that reason. Many live beyond their means and get
in trouble. Several hundreds thousand extra in the bank, while still having a big chunk of shares...
may have looked pretty good. Even with the greatest outlook if LQMT goes to a certain level,
I'll be taking some off the table earlier than thought, just for the peace of mind. But I don't think Li would be pleased with such a sale from one of his own. Yes, if great news is coming soon he wouldn't sell. And Li did say "things" may not happen
as soon as predicted. Didn't he mention something like that recently that someone posted?
As far as the Millions Li put into LQMT...well, what percentage is that of his total net worth...if he's a billionaire...its kind of pocket change isn't it??
For those that keep saying they will keep buying and buying more on pull backs. BE CAREFUL.
I'll have to admit. I'm watching the news and what's going on in the US and world wide....If this President is taken down, you can be sure the stock market will crash, because there won't be any effort for
a revision on taxes on business. And everything else that may happen. The thought of selling my shares
is hitting me. I don't have blinders on, on all that's happening. I think its a lot more than most realize.
And it seems to be picking up speed. I can understand why "Houck" may have sold shares. Barcelona
was just another hint at what may be coming in one area. My opinion, if we hit it big in LQMT,
don't be a pig and put it back in the market....
Yes, I was concerned about that, but I've also seen insider selling on stocks rocketing up, even APPLE...
and I'd ask myself..."why are these people selling"? Well, just like I'd probably sell some at a certain point below $1....for insurance....because no matter what anything can happen. Houck may even be nervous about the world situation...North Korea, Riots in the US, a DOW in unbelievable territory.....
Yes, I think that may be it. He sold some for insurance....which is smart....because a crashing Market will take down many ships...
Good. I'm getting ready to go out and weed whack the front gardens....
Looks like the panic is over. I contributed to it. Sorry. I have stepped back off the ledge.
Well, my pants ARE down, but that's really none of your business....and I didn't sell.
I will bet you a brochure from a Lamborghini dealer that you are wrong.
Maybe he wanted to buy an orange Lamborghini.
on the other hand...there is no news until there is news.....
Many traders have gotten caught on the wrong side when news totally unexpected comes out.
There, I thought I'd balance it a little. Although Hauck selling is NOT a good sign...
But please don't beat your chest with a "I told you so"....if it goes to your favor....
if you do you will be locked out of the snack room.
There are so many ways of looking at the "sale", I hate it. If some good news was coming.....there is no way he would sell. Sorry. So I guess we can scratch off the "just around the corner". And didn't Li say
that things are pushed a little more into the future? Correct me if I'm wrong. Yes, I posted that perhaps he had urgent need for cash, but half heartedly. I have seen other stocks that were on a rampage up,
and insiders selling along the way, including Apple. I gotta keep in mind APPLE keeps putting patents into the CIP. Li giving great forward looking statements on LiquidMetal. WHY WHY WHY did this crap
have to happen. One scenario...is if he was asked to leave. That would mean no pay check for some time, so he would need cash ...and maybe a little pay back for being released...."I'll show you, I'll dump a big load of shares and scare investors." But then he's only hurting himself.
2 1/2 hours to see.
I jumped the gun on the announcement. I thought he dumped all his shares. Someone said he still has
over 60% of his shares. Sometimes people get in financial binds. He may have figured with the shares
he's keeping, its enough for the future.....but he needs cash now. It happens. College for kids, Medical
expenses, etc etc. No ones life remains the same. that's one scenario. Maybe he wanted to pay off his house.
Most of us here, are going to take some off the table in the future...he has MANY more shares than
any of us, so he could take some off sooner. If I had that many shares, I'd be letting some go right now.
So, there's my positive post for this evening...
Have a good night.
That is correct. We are getting inundated with CIP patents from APPLE.....lets keep that in mind.
And so many other things.
I know. There may be alternative reasons....I just hate looking at the ones most glaring...
I think the coming Eclipse has something to do with it.
Yes.....bad blood...it could be invectiveness. Sell all shares to cause a panic as the one last
middle finger good bye. Who knows....
The Unicorns are all upset...they are hiding in the barn and won't come out.
But isn't selling on inside information a "no no"? Punishable by life in prison??
Its a two foot drop. I may wrench my knee. But the high rise condo is out..scratched off my LQMT
wish list...but I may have tripped and fallen over the balcony railing....so, perhaps its better off this way.
I'll have enough food for me and the cat. And if I had the Orange Lamborghini more chance of me getting
robbed for it and getting my throat slit...so actually its all good. And I'll be batting 1000 as far as
stock investing....a perfect score of missing the boat time and time again. Its a black comedy....
and I'm the star.
WE ARE DOOMED !!!!!!
Blood in the streets tomorrow....I knew I should have sold last week.
Another failure. I am RUINED.
It means tomorrow will be BIG so hold on.
The higher the PPS goes, the more will come in to do the same.
First Phase of the Terminator Series...
Suck it up buttercup.
This is getting VERY interesting...KACHING....
Seems' were starting out nicely......
YIPEEEEEEE YAHOOOOOOOO....
That's what I wrote. "we had no idea, but were kept interested with the knife and several hundred RFQ"
On the national scene....and it does apply to LQMT. Trump announced he's going after China for
the theft of Intellectual Property of US companies. I think I heard he has about 25 companies lined up with their complaints that in the past were ignored by administrations...He said its separate from the NK requests..
Schumer was livid about this..suggestnng we send the leaders of China and Kim of North Korea,
big stuffed teddy bears, a bouquet of roses and a box of the best chocolates.....
I have posted before that I have lost the euphoria of anticipation....I think that's what's happening to many. Its good in many ways. Those few that make huge profits from big gainers don't check the stock every day or several times a day. They have the philosophy of holding a stock to see how it develops
if the basics of what its doing is promising. Any of the big gainers, it took about 10 years for
the greatest reward. Not many are willing to wait that long. They want to "get into something else",
even though in the long run sticking with the first stock would have paid of much better.
Li came in, new building and the promise of more machines. There is much less to talk about since their is no Steipp making empty promises to keep the bait on the hook. Li has the business savvy and the wealth to take us where we had imagined. Before we had no idea, but were kept interested with the knife and the several HUNDREDS of RFQ's...remember those?? They no longer exist..."POOF" they are gone.
We've all matured in this investment. We've decided to hold to see what Li does. The possibilities discussions have run out of steam. Now we just wait. Everyone has accepted that fact and put LQMT on the back burner and gotten on with their lives. That's what I think has happened.
I know it has a lot going for it. Even with all these international fears I wonder how they could affect
a metal that can take over the world....I get hit sometimes with 3D printing and where that is going...
and other technologies. I'm reevaluating my PPS target. It all depends on what we hear and what
kind of contracts will be announced. Foolish to have a PPS objective without knowing more specifics
on where this could go. Could cause one to leave a HUGE amount on the table. All we need is some significant contract that sets the stage for the future...and we can be more secure in how much we hold and for how long.
I"ve gotten involved in other interests, so its helped. Strange about wealth..if one has an objective
of a Million dollars, once that is reached, the goal post moves...then the idea of $5 Million comes into
view...and soon, the individual is again controlled by what I guess can be called greed. Its destroyed many...if not monetarily, then personal values. You can get used to toys very quickly. Even an Orange
Lamborghini. I have a 13 year old Camry..very little has gone wrong with it. Its amazing. But only
110,000 miles. My need for long trips has diminished. Oh how I love that car. And I see many on the road
of that year. With the Lambo, I'd probably be in the dealers for maintenance every month. .
Be careful. don't know how many shares you have but I hope you reach a point where you can be at peace at the number of shares and then just hope for the best.
