Great posts from Vyper4 and Watts. Vyper4- Interesting read all the way through right up to the moment you see the picture of a human finger touching a robotic finger, and then? Bang it hits home! If they can make these switches sensitive to human touch why can't they reverse the process and incorporate it in the hands, or anywhere else, of a robot. Thereby giving the robot the same or similar capabilities of touch and feel that humans enjoy. Damn, this is a game changer. Thank you for sharing.
Watts ,
Great post also. Not only shows the background of Paul Hauck and gives good insight into his potential and the high probability his position with LQMT is more than just a payday, but also revisits and presents a solid display of useful applications and their markets.
Thank you both for posting.
Thank you Vyper4. That was a very informative article which falls in line with my ideas about this Liquidmetal/ Apple relationship. I've worked with some fairly advanced machines and recognize we are only getting started with the coupling of machines with computers; Robots. We've had high precision welding robots in the automotive industry for 15 years or more. We have drones that can fly autonomously. I currently work with satellites and I'm fairly amazed at how many newer satellites perform various functions with so much less human interaction. I'm thinking Apple is either going to join in automobile manufacturing or they are going to introduce the first widespread household robots. Hopefully Liquidmetal is a part of this.
I have a long history of machine operation including injection molding and blow molding machines. What I'm questioning is in regards to household robots. Robots that can perform services or monitor things and be interactive with people.
Has anyone seen any Apple patents that may correspond to production of robots?
So you are suggesting the Coupons.com case is insignificant now? What I'm interested in knowing is if DSS can remain a sustainable, profitable company regardless of these court cases and should they lose will it effect their business model?
Actually the deal that just failed came out of one of the European shows.
Heres a small part from an article on Seeking Alpha. Hope it helps.
,in October 2011, long before their merger with LTG, DSS filed a lawsuit against Coupons.com alleging that Coupons.com had misappropriated DSS trade secrets and breached confidentiality agreements with DSS. The suit involves DSS's proprietary digital copy protection technology; DSS contended that their technology had been utilized by Coupons.com on billions of internet generated coupons since 2006. The stated claim amount was approximately $240-300M in total.
Getting ready to add more next week.
Trade show sponsor this week. Update on website.
Ha ha ha. They report truth? Who's drinkin the kool-aid?
Rifreede is like FOX news. Keep saying the same thing over and over again with hopes it'll stick. Scam, scam, scam, scam, SCAM!!! Come on hun, say it again!
I'm not sure how DSS proceeds should they lose the upcoming patent issues, however, one thing I've noticed no onr discuss here is the companies capabilities without a patent win. The products the company offers will still be on the market, still generating potential income. I don't think a loss will kill the company. Volume will definitely not be as large as if we win, and if we win, well, volume will be huge.
We strive for zero losses. Unfortunately, losses are part of the equation. Hopefully your high earning year will be next year!
No. There isn't enough volume.
Or. You only live once and your investments are a roller coaster of peaks and valleys offering daily excitement. Hanging in.
Will resume distribution after settlement? Somebody made a killing today. Holding here.
No. I think you saw its first peak and you may see another around 4.50. Unless, of course, they announce something major. I think you'll see a gradual falling back over the next few weeks and months. Remember last quarter they had a high somewhere in the 4.40s but managed to slide back to mid 3.50 or even lower for a few days (sorry don't have exact figures, doing this from memory) I don't see them going past 4.50 without a new catalyst
I think you saw the first peak. It will probably slide tonight and tomorrow. AMD won't shake the manipulators without HUGE news.
Added a couple thousand shares today.
Nothing yet. Keeping a sliver of hope here, but not expecting much. They should probably approach someone like GE or Corning for a buyout.
Announces 2 new contracts at 3.6 million total. Keep adding those contracts and wstch this stock rocket.
All this Pot talk should be on the CBIS or MNJA boards.
I'm not going to disagree. It's just not going to happen soon. AMD is going to have to knock one out of the park to get there. I still believe the catalyst is console sales in China. Long term they need to put out a chip that thumps Intel.
I've watched this stock for the last 18 months. I wanted to play long but the yo- yo manipulation was so evident I started taking profits. Each earnings report gets a little better but the Q4 13 reaction made me change up because they posted a profit but the street beat them up again. Based on last quarter I doubt you'll see 4.50 between now and July but I wouldn't rule out a peak or two close to that number. The after market run up today IMO is more manipulation and I wouldn't be surprised if you see an abrupt selloff by mid week. I made money playing it like that the last three quarters but currently own zero shares, although I wish I had bought last week when it dropped under 3.70. Good luck. Hope you make some green.
Opportunity abounds in the next few weeks as AMD will yo-yo for another quarter.
Big disappointment. Hate to see it, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a bankruptcy. Good product, bad management. Sorry gang.
Good news

I'm staying in. I like the product. I think it's got big potential. They just need to think outside the safety apparel market. Homeowners should be the target market. Teen age girls with elastolite posters of Twilight and Justin Bieber should be a target market. Halloween and Christmas and Valentines day decorations should be a target market. Geez. Offer me the marketing position. I'll start off with the elastolite American flag on the fourth of July.
No. You're thinking. A key element in investing. You do your investigation, looking for a companies potential. You try to imagine where a company will progress with their product or service. Tjen you either take a gamble on them or you don't. Can AMD bring out a processor that can snap up some of intels business ? Can Frito Lay invent a hot selling chip made out of carrots? Can Liquidmetal find a product that blows the doors off this stock? Its just thinking. And it's good.
If there is one thing I've learned in life it's that there is always someone coming up with a new idea. People keep mentioning car parts. Liquidmetal company specifically states they are impeded by size dimensions. But what about as a coating? A lightweight sub frame coated with Liquidmetal. There are all sorts of possibilities. Anyone know anything about the electrical aspects of Liquidmetal? Is it a conductor? An insulator? A semi conductor?
I understand the position of the company. I understand this is a longshot. I knew it going in. Did you?
An oldie, but goodie. Tell me they only have 3 or 4 ideas for this stuff.

There is absolutely no reason to give up on this dream. This whole idea is in its infancy. There is a strong likelihood you are part of a revolutionary change. There are literally thousands of uses for this product. Not to mention you're going to see other innovation as time goes on
Yes , I'd like to see big news today, tomorrow, next week. But I'll wait because I see to many good things on the horizon here.

700 million shares compared to Apples 891 million shares?
I've been to both websites periodically during the past year. Rebel was s disappointment. Sparkfun does have elastolite on sale in various forms. There is no doubt in my mind elastolite is a product that demands dark backgrounds. I'm still believing decorative displays are their best chance at wide spread sales. Another possibility are highway signs. I've been seeing more and more electronic signs particularly on the New Jersey turnpike, which I travel several times each week. I've also seen several LED road signs which are not video based, they are stagnant, which would be perfect for elastolite. I think the recent elastolite tattoo feature on the Web site might appeal to about .001 percent of the population, but I'd wager if you put out a 24×36 elastolite Christmass tree or Santa Claus, you'd probably sell quite a few of them. Just a thought.
One other point I'd like to make. Over the past couple years we saw the inception of of wide scale 3D printing. 3D printing isn't a new concept, but its become more readily available and more reliable. For smaller parts the injection moulding method SHOULD still be much faster when engineered correctly. I didn't follow the 3D printing STOCK craze, but I've examined the 3D printing machine market in fairly deep detail. My GUESS is that LQMT machines can actually THREATEN some areas of the 3D Machining market. If thats the case this stock will EXPLODE the same way the 3D printing stocks did a year or two ago.
Its April 2. Tax payments due on the 15th. Did they dump all their shares? Or did they sell off enough to pay their taxes on earnings?
Injection moulding machines USUALLY produce more than 1 part each cycle. I've personally worked with machines that had moulds capable of producing 144 parts each cycle.
In reference to an earlier post, non electronic parts for things like an iPhone are not machined from a block of aluminum. They are STAMPED out of SHEETS of thin walled material. Oft time stampings are good to go from the machine but may require polishing. LQMT would eliminate the need for that process. That is not a HUGE timesaver. The advantage to LQMT comes in reduced preparation costs, labor costs, and possibly packaging costs.
