I'm with you Eagle.
From Steipp's own words, every year now we have been shipping parts for evaluation, which must amount to 100 or more prospects, yet it keeps getting turned down. I read here about all the reason why they should be buying yet the guy with the check book keeps say no. WHY?
Good read for the restroom...

Nothing but a selloff since 12:30 to close.

Then there is our usual 100sh trade at the close to hide the nastiness.
I just can't figure out if these are the actions of a BULL or a BEAR.
Either way their intent is the same... the hide the truth... but why? What purpose does it have?
gorgol aren't you hitting on that "COOP DE GRASS" a little early today?
Spartan I have to say you might be onto something here.
In my business when we are wheeling and dealing sometimes one has to put up $ in order to access certain information. Unfortunately as time has proven time and again, Steipp's words are what they are... hot air. He is not who he says he is and can not deliver on what he promises. Thats why he keeps bringing in a new messiah to save him. I believe in the technology and I doubt there is anyone here who doesn't. The question keeps being does Steipp have what it takes? Can he bring this technology to market without giving it all away?
There is one annoying question that keeps bugging me:
if BMG is as BIG a future as we all believe then why do we not see, US Steel, Owens Corning, ALCOA, or someone with deep pockets and potential to make this a reality taking a position in this market.
Same I believe if that could be proved it would be illegal. On the other hand if they were associated with Hillary Clinton there probably not a law on the books to enforce it
Well first off "will have" and "does" is 1,000,000 miles apart.
Different company? Different situation? Perhaps but Wang had his own money invested as well.
I guess if I was talking about Noah's Ark you would say that could never happen? Fact is what happened to WANG did happen and can happen again.
The thought that Li can't cut out the shareholders without cutting out himself is wrong!
Many of you are too young to know who WANG Computers was. I was a shareholder and loaded when they reorganized in bankruptcy. Then the unthinkable... they cancelled all current shares and reissued new shares. Guess who got theirs first?
In the end the Company folded and shareholders got screwed the second time.

With all that volume and selling pressure I was shocked to see short interest so low.
I actually find this a POSITIVE

May I answer re Li?
1) I think he is smart enough to validate information he was given by Steipp.
2) He was smart enough to delay his closing until he was more comfortable with it.
3) Smart enough to dispose of his shares in a slow drip if he didn't like what he discovered.
This is no way intended to sound bearish but instead implying of all the others before him who have come to Steipp's salvation, I would say he is probably the most cunning as well as cautious. What he does will define lqmt into enternity... positive or negative
$.13's are here...

First test was done at a different lab. It came back at 4.9. That was the reason for sending me to the urologist 6 weeks later where it was checked in house and came back 11.2. He apologized for taking 2 weeks to get me the results but said we wanted to be as sure as possible before we told you anything. He said I am not the only case like this but it is not that common. Told to exercise more and manage my stress. I interpreted that as saying I need to have more sex and sell those damn lqmt shares.
Good Morning all! Thank you all for your kind words.
Good news is I am Prostate Cancer Free!
Bad news they do not have a clue as to what is going on.
Will monitor my blood by testing every 90 days.
I strongly urge any guy over 40 to routinely get an annual blood test to check PSA levels.
I promise I will try very very hard to try not to be so damn testy. Looking back I am acting too much like my wife.
Thank you all for the well wishes. Gorgol I will reply to you in an open forum and hopes that maybe some of the of the posters will find something useful. Being we all are mostly men we are all going to face this. My testosterone levels are extremely low. 250. They should be between 450 and 1200. I take testosterone shots not for the libido but for the mental part that goes along with it. Because I take shots my family doctor requires me to have my blood tested twice a year. July it was tested and my PSA was 4.9 and because it was 2.6 last year dr was extremely concerned at how fast it rose so he referred me to a urologist for biopsy. On the first visit the urologist took a blood sample and scheduled me to come back in 2 weeks for the biopsy. The PSA CAME BACK 11.2! Did get anti biopics during and after procedure. My friends who had prostate cancer were in the 6's and got a call in 4 days to tell them. Same dr wants to get results, confer with my dr before meeting with him in his office that is tomorrow. I buried a friend this year who had same symptoms and his was an aggressive form of cancer. I will find out tomorrow.
Thank you JollyRoger. Since I do not have private message ability I will respond here and help others will overlook it. My PSA jumped from 4.9 to 11.2 in 6 weeks. While I am at peace with whatever the verdict many of those around me are scrambling and fearful since the Drs are with holding results until tomorrow since this is not a symptom of the usual slow growing prostate cancer. I'm sorry if some of my comments of late may have had a little bite to them all of these frustrations, tears and tears around me has a tendency to rub off on me. Thank you again for your concern
Don't think that has ever been a secret.
I make money when there is good news.
I make money where you think there is good news.
There is not alot of difference between us other than I don't sport a lip full of shiny hooks from taking the bait every time Steipp makes a cast in the direction of his investors.
Listen I got my doctor's appointment tomorrow and if things aren't so good you will have a chance to load that truck. I would never leave this to my children or grandchildren. There are other safe investments to preserve what they have. Right now i'm just enjoying myself trying to out wit a real slick willy. LOL When I get hurt or aggrevated I get so for all of us. What pisses me off is when someone tries to put perfume on a turd and tell me how good it is.
If the trading action this past few days continues it's a long road with no news... no contracts before December 31. I truly wish the best for everyone.
Best of Luck
gorgol sometimes it's more profitable to play who plays the penny stocks than it is to play the stocks you think will go up 1000%. I'll take my 20-50% time and again (on average 2 times a year) It doesn't mean I don't hold shares at a higher price just means I still got time and money to make before I decide how much write off I need at the end of the year.
It's not hard to understand...
For some back the truck up and loading it to the gills is $1,000 or others it is not...
What's so hard about that?
Gorgol, some times we just have to lighten our loads and then we get sucked back in when share price retreats... then it retreats again... and then even more...
It's hard for old timers who paid $2 share back when outstanding shares 1/3 of todays numbers and Steipp was saying we are "shipping parts" when we weren't. Review of the Quarterly numbers spells that out. Then share priced drops to $.05 and Steipp wants a raise.
Yeah it's hard! I can promise you this... the old timers do no wish this kind of loss on anyone but when the younsters come along kicking sand in their face... welllllll... We might in a moment of anger want to shove that 1,000,000+ shares we own up their backside. Sure we know know now the technology wasn't ready back then but we were told it was. The unicorns are young and believe. We old timers that are seasoned and in deep because we did believe. Yes we have losses... significant ones! But why sell when the shares are worthless??????????? $.14? Come on... just well let it ride... there is nothing to gain from selling here.
The recent decline in share price...
The bump in trading volume...
and the sell to buy ration strongly suggest you are right...
Someone is talking about it...
I agree...
What is 'Capitulation'
Capitulation is when investors give up any previous gains in stock price by selling equities, in an effort to get out of the market and into less risky investments. True capitulation involves extremely high volume and sharp declines, and is usually indicated by panic selling. The term is a derived from a military term which refers to surrender.
I'm telling you they do it every day.

You guys truly surprise me...
170,000+ shares have traded and 100,000 of those are mine. HELLO??? Any unicorns out there??
$.152 is obviously considered too high a price to pay for technology that is said to going to change the world as we know it.
Wonder why it didn't show up in Materion's qtr numbers?
You know what gets me...
These people who beat up on ole JOlly arguing of this enormous opportunity yet I represented 30%+ of yesterday's vol. and 50% of todays.
My question is where are all the believers?
misconception all patents get built.
This does not just refer to APPLE.
I know a company with patents for a rotary engine that never made it off the test stand
If that is correct it does finally settle the argument that lqmt will not get a dime doesn't it?
You are correct and as you pointed out it came in after the close.

The 100 share (which is so common) came in 30 seconds before the close(16:01:37).
I guess he got TRUMPED this time... LOL
There is that 100 trade at $.153 at the close. PAINT THAT TAPE BABY!
It's unsettling when some of the long time posters here(those that kicked to the curb regularly) hold more shares than some of these INSIDERS.
Gillis 1,260,414
Weyler 1,200,000
Sevcik 940,000
Anderson 940,000
These shares were given to them and knowing what they know have made no effort to add to their positions with their own money. I bought in hoping someone like Owens Corning would buy them out because STEIPP made it clear to me after the first 2 years that you can't bet on what he says is correct.
Maybe there is still hope. I just don't want to bet on China bailing us out either. A new President may change everything if we have yet another delay...
" waiting another full year for this to pop" aka "Dead Money"
Andy for us long timers there have been many December's past. You might say "well not like this".
And then I'd have to say, "maybe not but at the time, they were just like this. The thing we hope they don't have in common is STEIPP fails to deliver again..."
"I'm glad Liquidmetal is not a media company."
No it deals in a rare form of metal being used by NASA and the Department of Defense.
I don't see any reason why China shouldn't have access to it. They'll steal it by hacking anyway.
Or he could buy some at a $.05 and say "hey they are honest now!"
I hope you are closer that the friday end of day picks.
Sounds alot like the iphione7 news that was released after the BIG disappointment that followed the iphone6 not having liquidmetal as was so heavily hyped.
One thing is for sure you only have to wait one more year to find out right?
