I think you found a win win for those bridge pins and the bottom line. :)
Yes there are millions of knives, but LQMT was selling only one knife. Not a table setting knife and not a culinary knife at a very high price vs competitive pricing. There is more to the golf clubs. There’s the video broadcasting, the fans, the prize’s the country clubs, clothing etc., in other words there is a far greater potential for marketing even if LM GOLF CLUBS never make it pro. Golf is a known sport to many 10’s of millions around the world. The LQMT knife not so much known. Not even 10,000.
The bigger picture is the marketing plan and the wider area of acceptance. The knife was DOA. The LM clubs has actually received an order. No one knows if it will be the clubs of choice or just another Martin bridge pin.
If the marketing plan is a good one and the product too is a good one then the hypothetical market plan has a good shot at working. Maybe DM needs to attend a golf trade show sporting event. Or perhaps LQMT can hire a former golf pro to pitch the clubs. It’s not really in their ballpark. Its actually up to the company in Japan that ordered these clubs to market and sell them. Don’t know why they would want them if you can’t go pro with them. Just hope they can sell $10 million dollars worth of them this year. That would net LQMT $300,000.00 dollars on top of those knives and bridge pins. Can’t wait for those tennis racquets to reappear. :)
The hypothetical plan did not fail. The economy of golf is far greater than that of one knife.
Regarding that headline. I don’t think so. As much as i would like to see every golf club made with Liquidmetal licensed by LQMT.
And even if that were to happen in no way would it ever be bigger than a pandemic or something like golfing growth to be compared with. Must be a cultural thing of numbness over at cnbc.
Now let’s hope LQMT does participate in that growth. It would be nice to see future revenues grow. Wonder why TC was oblivious to this type of public information. Then again, I don’t believe his forte ever was in sales and marketing of amorphous metal parts. That’s now DM’s job a mechanical engineer with ambition. I think TC’s forte was I having a hand in selling LQMT’s IP to Apple & Eontec and then stock options for a nice profit.
So in a $1 billion dollar industry hypothetically LQMT can collect $30 million annually in licensing fees and slightly realistically speaking if LQMT captures just 1 tenth of the market, they could add $3 million dollars annually to their bottom line plus 2% growth annually. Well then who the heck needs a whale? LQMT can prosper on goldfish too.
I guess TC doesn’t golf. What a pity for LQMT. He could be out there right now marketing a complete set of LQMT golf clubs. As a matter of fact he could invite every shareholder to a LQMT golf tournament and gift a full set to each shareholder on record. In this way each shareholder can show off their new set of golf clubs to another golfer. Whether the shareholders golf or not is immaterial. The end result is you now have over 200 new marketers of LQMT for free. Of course everyone would have to disclose their investment in LQMT.
Sales and contracts is what we need more of and not more headlines of success. But until then, it’s nice to know the facts and dream of success.
Another week passes and LQMT is down 8.11% from 0.1121 to 0.103 cents on extremely low trading volumes. This still causes confusion and paranoia by some to believe the price of this anemic trading stock with a lot of potential yet to be realized since inception over 25 years ago, is being manipulated by the money market makers. This belief seems to be stated only when the price of LQMT shares drop in price and not when LQMT’s shares pop up in price.. The daily share prices of LQMT are subject to wider price swings due to the anemic trading volumes.
Domestically for years now LQMT has stated that they need to find a manufacturer to satisfy any sales contracts involving companies prohibited from doing business abroad in China and perhaps elsewhere. They have iterated this problem, but so far have yet to resolve it or give shareholders an update. They have also stated the need for a second high volume manufacturer to satisfy potential customers, but so far this too has not been addressed in an announcement of resolution. As of this date shareholders have no clue as to any progress towards this important endeavor to help and support contracts domestically.
The chairman of the board shut down domestic manufacturing three years ago, laid off LQMT staff, one year later claims the absence of a backup manufacturer would help nail a whale and then two years later the new interim ceo alludes to the same claim and that it is necessary to be able to contract with a manufacturer outside of China due to government regulations.
All of this going on while a competitive private domestic manufacturer operating with a 50,000 + square foot facility is claiming success and 50% growth year over year.
All of this could have been resolved if the former ceo, (now the chairman of the board) never shut down the New OH, but should have added more capacity to manufacture. Note the new added capacity in China has yet to be used to it’s capacity as touted by LQMT. Was the decision to shut down LF CA and transfer manufacturing a conflict of interest? Is the problem of not having a domestic manufacturer of equal capacity a created problem? Can that too be considered a conflict of interest?
Seems a bit strange, a bit odd, a bit shady to invest $7 million in a new facility, cease the power upgrade and not invest more domestically at a time, when LQMT was claiming to have a customer or customers lined up that required high volume parts to be manufactured domestically. Why strange, odd and shady? Well just look at the bottom line of the 10K’s filed. Where are the high volume contracts? Not saying it was a bad idea to expand and find another manufacturer of parts for LQMT. But to shut down LQMT In LF CA, their own controlled source and now go look for another second party source to manufacture and just use the space to collect rent seems to me to be a bit ridiculous. Or did the former ceo just want to cut costs to save his own cash burn by shutting down the OH at LF CA., under the guise of cutting operating costs? Either opinion still bights LQMT in the bottom. LQMT could have kept the OH open and partnering with a Chinese manufacturer would not have cost them a dime more to operate.
While all of this is taking place many shareholders have been trying to connect any and all amorphous metal products and parts to a potential for LQMT to earn millions if not billions. So far these endeavors by outsiders have found only one connection to LQMT that has resulted in revenues received before LQMT itself acknowledged the connection. That connection was not in the field of consumer electronics, where LQMT is prohibited by the LQMT/Apple agreements. That connection was in the field of medical instruments.
I guess consumers in the USA do not like folding screen smart phones and other like products using LQMT’s IP. They only like those products when made in China and when China collects the revenues and prospers and not when LQMT collects revenues. The USA consumers don’t want LQMT to collect a single dime, not one penny from CE sales. Or could it possibly be that LQMT truly is prohibited from CE as stated. There must be some ridiculous clause that states all CE amorphous metal parts sold in the USA must contain the 105 formula and not the 106 formula so that LQMT is prohibited from earning $$$$ revenues from CE amorphous metal made parts in perpetuity. Must be because the bottom line of Li’s companies in China are growing, while LQMT’s bottom line is shrinking.
I believe researching the www will lead to the next medical connection for a possible contract and increasing revenues.
My opinions are always worth less than the price of LQMT.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
Anyone hear of Engle or Materion?
I’m waiting for lesson 1….
Tic tic tic tic tic tic
There definitely exists two different and opposite opinions regarding who and who cannot use any and all amorphous metal IP before during and after the LQMT/Apple agreements. Rather than focusing on the opinions of who can and cannot use any IP that existed before the LQMT/Apple agreements or any new IP amorphous metal formulas. It seems when two opposite opinions exist the focus is lost on each opinion and more on who is rendering an opinion. Thus all facts and opinions for an open discussion become moot and lost.
Number 1. IMO I do not believe no matter what anyone thinks of LQMT, that they are asking or suggesting anyone sell any or all of their shares. And if they did who would? And if any did sell or buy or add shares. It would be at the sole discretion of the buyer or seller. Woe to them if they make a decision based on what anyone posts!!! And if they did buy or sell, based on a posted opinion read somewhere on the www, it would still be their decision, no matter what anyone thinks of it.
If there are opinions expressing how great LQMT is and anyone buys or holds, that’s a decision for each investor to make. And if there are opinions expressing dissatisfaction with LQMT, and if anyone holds or sells, that too is the responsibility for the investor to make
Number 2. As far as CE goes and amorphous metal formulas. IMO, LQMT has the right to use any IP it acquires for use in any area other than CE in perpetuity per the LQMT/Apple agreements and LQMT cannot and is not permitted to circumvent that restricted area of CE in perpetuity by any means other than a waiver from Apple at the request of LQMT.
Other companies not a party to these agreements are able where they have their own patents and do not infringe/violate Apple’s patents and where those patents are enforced are able to manufacture parts as claimed for consumer electronics. But not LQMT, IMO, the right to CE has been forfeited when they sold the CE part of their IP.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
Totally untrue your understanding of those agreements and it shows in LQMT’s bottom line since the agreements and will in the foreseeable future. Of course anyone outside of LQMT is entitled to interpret those agreements anyway they believe. But the daily share volumes , the share price and the most recent 10K and upcoming 10Q will back up the correct interpretation and present no contracts for CE parts other than those grandfathered for The Swatch Group.
Absolutely correct read the agreements pertaining to the transfer of CE IP and any new IP in perpetuity. Copying and pasting about what another manufacturer does for another company does not add 0.01 one penny to LQMT’s bottom line yesterday, today or for the foreseeable future.
There are no contracts ordered by LQMT to manufacture any hinges for any consumer electronic product covered by the LQMT/Apple agreements. That emphatically covers selling any parts to a smart phone manufacturer. Apple own that IP and all future formulas for amorphous metal from LQMT in the entire area of consumer electronics. No exceptions. What may happen in the future between Apple & LQMT regarding any waivers is like the rest purely hype, speculation and misinterpreted information on the www.
The agreements between Apple and LQMT also includes any future IP LQMT acquires.
No huff, no puff, no hype, no BS, no misinformation, no disinformation and no misinterpretation of the Apple/LQMT agreements. All facts no conjectures.

And?… is there a point here?
In 2016 LQMT received 63.4 million in cash. Today they have over $4 million in cash and $22 million in investments which can be converted to cash. They do not have $30 million in cash. Fast forward 6 years later. No source owned by LQMT to manufacture. No growth as stated by LQMT. Increased long term debt. And a cash burn of about 58% for an average cash burn rate of 9.66% per year. Plus no indication of when things might change for the foreseeable future and dependency on others for their survival.
Assets of cash plus patents trademarks etc are over $35 million
Source: LQMT.
Notice the same low volumes that drop the share price down from .11 to .10 are the same low volumes that raise up the share price from .10 to .11.
It’s mentioned in one of my posts yesterday. The meaning of the share price and the daily trading volumes. Micro watching the share price rarely spots a trend. Now reviewing what the share price was for the year may be a bit more useful. Now add to that the liquidity and volumes coupled with the bottom line and the picture is very clear. It measures actual performance against actual expectations. The end result is reality. A dime stock going nowhere fast and facing a lot of economic headwinds from competition to global recession.
LQMT, should survive even at .04 cents. It should survive.
Read the 10K!!! And if you don’t find it and post it. I will tomorrow with a link!!!
Now that is old news. And when I read old news. I’m reminded that LQMT is an old stock with a new material shorting it’s shareholders holder’s each time they sell their IP and shrink their opportunities for success by allowing others to become successful at the expense of share dilution.
All in all it is very sad to watch others using the LQMT IP, sign deals, grow revenues, after 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, while LQMT accumulates more debt, shuts down it’s own source for domestic manufacturing, shifts all manufacturing control to a source in China who also happens to be the majority shareholder. Conflict of interest?
It’s even more sad to read all of the excuses for their failures, when others with much less experience are succeeding.
Is it incompetence, fraud, lack of leadership, negligence, or am I missing much more due to a lack of communications or knowledge. How is it that LQMT is little known and yet the China companies at times claim that the brand name trademark of Liquidmetal means something? How is it they have managed to leverage the little known LQMT brand name and IP and the company that has the rights from Cal. Tech. Is still unknown or hardly known? How is it that they, the others using LQMT’s IP, are earning revenues and growing? How is it almost everyone invested believe at some point in time for years now that LQMT was/is on the verge of something big and yet nothing, absolutely the opposite has occurred? How is it the more this happens the more theories appear and nothing happens? And when i say nothing, I mean, very little!
What is stopping LQMT from copying the same marketing strategies for unknown products to become successful, that other companies have employed? They were handed $63.4 million dollars in 2016 and today they are still unknown!!! Yet other companies less known here in the USA are used as examples for amorphous metal success!!!
Gee it’s great to be ignorant and invested in a company that has made so much money for it’s executives and everyone else but it’s shareholders!!!
Can’t wait to read the next theory for success from any source. I need another laugh.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
Just venting off some steam before going over this years non-explosive 10K and anticipating the same for the first and second quarters.
Also with Tesla auto and space X .
Thank you. Unfortunately, in reality I do not expect LQMT to grow the way all want it to grow until after 2025. That’s just my guess based on all of the previous expectations by all others have failed. (Myself included). The problem is not so much the wait as it is the aging of many shareholders. Those younger can wait for all of LQMT’s patents to expire between 2035 and 2041. Those older, not so much. That factor is why I believe it might be a better idea to hold the long term positions and pick up much smaller ones as LQMT goes through their wash rinse and repeat cycles. A term I did not coin. A term that can also carry risks if anyone buys near the midpoint of a downward cycle. My rule of thumb is 40% to 50% off the high price minus .005 of a penny. It can help anyone average down or earn $$$$.
2025 to 2028 is my range for waiting. It is only a educated guess based on available information. Of course LQMT can get lucky or lose out to newer materials. All should know the risks and I think they do. It is the failures of the LQMT executives to grow the company’s bottom line and their lack of communications IMO, that draws the most criticism.
Good luck to you.
Last time LQMT applied for a FDA application?
As far as I can ascertain? FEBRUARY 2017.
This does not mean other companies that might use LQMT’s IP have not since 2017.
Keep in mind this does not mean LQMT is not pursuing negotiations with more than one medical company to secure a contract. LQMT would be doing all outside shareholders a great justice if they would explain exactly why the steel and new steel formulas were chosen over the LQMT IP which have superior properties in many cases over steel.
IMO, it is an injustice, when LQMT remains not transparent in these areas other than offering the Carte Blanche excuses for failures of not securing a contract as stated in their 10K. This total disrespect IMO as I frame it, contributes to the daily anemic trading volumes, which seem to spike in almost all cases, when a LQMT PR is released.
Lack of Contracts are not the total picture for why volumes are low. The way LQMT operates in all aspects are.
Just before the 2021 10k release and infamous conference call by the interim ceo TC, LQMT’s share price was trading at 0.16+. cents. It was up 80% YTD from .09. Today the stock is up 13% YTD in less than one month a 67% drop since the release of the 10K and CC. Today the stock is down 36% since the release of the 10K and CC from that 0.16+ cent high.
That’s what some might call a nose dive. In the case of LQMT looks more like a nosebleed. Some see green when LQMT goes up just 2 or 3 tenths of a penny. Some see red when it goes down just as much. The smart investor sees opportunities to earn $$$$.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
One thing has been consistent though. The daily trading volumes. Consistently very low. A point LQMT stresses as a caveat if you are invested or are going to be in LQMT.
It’s going to take contracts for $$$$ to change that and make real (cents) sense out of those numbers above.
Very good questions indeed.
The original product was approved for use in Chile seven years ago. The product was not using amorphous metal. The new product being used as stated in their brochure of 2021 also, does not mention or alluded to any use of amorphous metal. The person to contact for more information would be Dan Gruppo, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing. (385) 645-8380 or at dgruppo@conextionsmed.com.

Now In 2015, LQMT, did put out a PR of receiving an order from this company omitting the products name. There have been no follow ups since from LQMT and LQMT has stated in the endeavor of medical most of their negotiations for product parts are covered by NDA’s.
The following link is the actual FDA Link showing more details regarding the approval of this product of 04-22-2022 and other people to contact. No amorphous metal.

Always a story could be something or it could be nothing. But they are always worth checking out.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
Oh, One more thing. It only took 28 months for approval.
Back on March 27. LQMT was up-72.7% This-was-predicted…
The stock closed at 0.16 cents. On Friday March 25. 2022
LQMT is up 72.7%. YTD. Will revenues match or exceed the value already factored in? All will know this week. Even if the bar is set so low, consistent growing revenues would be the key to increasing interest in the stock. Consistent rhetoric of where we are and why LQMT needs more time imo, will not sustain the increase. Without contracts average volumes will remain unchanged and any short term gains could be short lived as the share price moves up and down on very low liquidity, very low volumes.
It would be nice to know that the gains in the share price are from actual revenues to sustain the increase and keep it going up with more frequent contracts and domestic manufacturing partners to satisfy all potential customers and of course trading volumes above 1%. If that is the reason for the increase, then perhaps LQMT can break the wash rinse spin and repeat cycles.
Here is the link.
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=168347691
Also worth reading is this link posted just before the CC & 10K release. It’s about what fundamentally should move the volume and share price of LQMT up realistically.
Here is the link:
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=168356889
And finally there is this prediction and opinion of where the price per share might be headed after listening to the CC & 10K; “Next quarterly report is not too far away. LQMT will continue to drift around a dime and lower as the facts from the 10K impact the stock.”
Here is the link:
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=168413454
Today the stock is up 12.9% YTD. For the same reasons reasons explained before the CC & 2021 10K release.
The share price 0.1016. It’s one of the few times the stock of LQMT is drifting down before a LQMT 10Q release.
What ever those reasons are for the decline in share price. All invested might want to conclude the slow walk back down in the share price cannot be the fault of hype, pumping, rumors, theories or expectations of amorphous metal’s potential use or any possibility for a contract.
On the other hand one might find the answer in the realities of the facts as stated by LQMT itself, how they have performed, the results of their performance and their own expectations for LQMT to succeed and brought out by my opinions to balance the realities of where LQMT is at today and for the short term foreseeable future.
My opinions are always worth less than the price of LQMT.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
Whatever the reasons, these ups and downs seem to be temporary and can change direction with a LQMT PR.
Also, keep in mind the daily trading volumes are very low and offer very little support for share prices above .012. And seem to be meaningless between .07 and .11. Meaning; the market for new outside interest wants to be woken up when the volumes are 10 to 30 million shares trading daily regardless of facts, potential or theories.
Stats LQMT 04-25-2022…
Trades 38
Avg. pps. 0.106+
Dollar Volume $ 21,624
Volume 202,773
Just that little amount of $$$$ and anemic trading volumes drops the share price and everyone’s share value by 5.35%.
Is it an indication of manipulation? I don’t think so. Is it more of an indicator of very little interest in the stock from new outsiders and all existing shareholders holding? Seems to be the more plausible rationale for a stock with low trading volumes for years now.
Of course the share price can be controlled by the money market makers. There does not appear to be any new reasons from LQMT to instill high volume interest. For more info on this review the CC by the interim ceo TC & the 10K’s overview for future growth.
Keep in mind LQMT uses a market price value of 0.07 cents as the basis value of it’s shares as the market value of it’s price and not the average price of 0.10 cents.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
Regarding one of LQMT’s endeavors to succeed.
From the 10K. “We believe that there are multiple applications and opportunities in the non-consumer electronics product category for us to produce parts that command the higher margin and premium prices consistent with our core business strategy.”
“We also believe that the strength characteristics of our alloys could facilitate the creation of a new generation of non-consumer electronic devices which currently may not be viable because of strength limitations of conventional metal parts in the marketplace today.”
Does the above mean LQMT cannot manufacture a part for a electronic part? Absolutely not! The above in forward worded statements reflects, where the LQMT focus is on and why and is not inclusive of all areas of focus.
It is the hope of LQMT, that one day or some point in time in the future through contracts in all fields of endeavors will lead to a greater acceptance, thus leading to larger contracts.
As far as $$$$$ expected revenues going forward. LQMT states they have absolutely no significant backlog of any orders. And most of any medical parts being prototype produced for medical use are covered by an NDA.
The same commentary statement regarding NDA’s, was not expressed for the endeavors in Auto. Could have been a oversight IMO.

LQMT now has 3 full time employees in sales instead of one. I can only presume, DM, who was promoted to engineer and sales manager or director of sales recently will probably be supervising the two new sales employees as they assist him at trade shows and other duties in search of new contracts.
LMG, the golf subsidiary of LQMT, will receive 3% of the net sales regarding the golf club agreement. For example if the total net sales are $5 million dollars. LQMT can be expected to record $150,000.00 dollars.

Despite searching for more customers. LQMT lost one major customer in 2021 and now has three major customers and not four as they did have the year before. A possible explanation from this might stem from the loss of the reoccurring Zyris dental order.
The number of major customers seems to hold between three and five over the years. LQMT does not anticipate much change as far as how many major customers they will have going forward.

Approximately 505,089,814 shares in 2021 were held by non executive officers, directors of the company and anyone holding more than ten percent of the outstanding common shares.
That’s a lot of $$$$$ tied up in lqmt. Should give some confidence to the fact shareholders have a lot of company who are also waiting for better days. Cannot tell from the data what the breakdown is by age group or what opinions pro or con these investors have for lqmt. I can only conclude like myself, they are also, waiting for lqmt to succeed or speculating it will.
One thing is for sure if the data as reported is correct and there is no reason why it’s not. Then, that is over $35 million dollars of outside interest in lqmt as of 2021.

Let’s look at this a little closer. You raise some rather interesting observations and points of view.
Point 1. Some like to say that LQMT has the maze going for it.
Possible reason. Which are easier to think about; A. The possibility of success from the realities of LQMT’s performance, communications and 10K results? or B. The possibilities of unverifiable success, theories and possibilities for success from the maze?
Point 2. LQMT has no control or ownership in the maze, just the opposite.
Possible explanation. It’s true LQMT has no control or ownership in the maze. However, the maze equally has no control over LQMT, and LQMT, does have partnerships and agreements with Eontec/Yian Technologies. The controls are in the termination or interruption or honoring the agreements.
Point 3. LL effectively controls LQMT, and the maze.
Possible explanation. It’s true LL effectively controls LQMT only if you don’t believe the last point is true regarding; who controls LL. The same goes for LL controlling the maze.
Point 4. So how much revenue has LQMT received from the maze? Can't be much.
Possible correct answer. Absolutely nothing. Zero, Zilch, Nada. Actually the maze receives income from LQMT each time a part order is placed for sale by LQMT.
Point 5. And BTW, NASA knows who/what controls LQMT. Forget about that as a revenue source.
Possible reasons. A you are probably correct and B. They have developed their own materials.
Point 6. And oh yeah, who controls LL?
Possible answer. If LL is controlled by the CCP. Then the answer to points 3 & 6 are moot.
I just want to know where the next medical contract is coming from later this year. Even if the CCP, the imaginary maze, LQMT or the tooth fairy originates it.
Good luck to you.
Another week passes and LQMT is down 1.62% from 0.11395 to 0.1121 cents on extremely low trading volumes. This still causes confusion and paranoia by some to believe the price of this anemic trading stock with a lot of potential yet to be realized since inception over 25 years ago, is being manipulated by the money market makers. This belief seems to be stated only when the price of LQMT shares drop in price and not when LQMT’s shares pop up in price.. The daily share prices of LQMT are subject to wider price swings due to the anemic trading volumes.
Is it possible? Well let’s just put it this way. It seems highly unlikely and kind of crazy to me if manipulation only occurs on the way down and not on the way up or during lateral trading intervals as well as no new contracts to consistently grow share value have occurred for a long period of time. These beliefs not by many, also think the stock is being shorted to hold back the share price or even drop the share price. All of this on just extremely low anemic daily trading volumes.
Not to sound narrow minded. I don’t think so. Not unless one believes the entire trading of LQMT is a manipulation. And for what purpose? The stock has been trading near a dime for about five years now. Even when LQMT releases news of any kind, the stock pops up, the volumes pick up and then both drop back down apparently on shareholder’s sentiments on the reality of the worth of the news and not on manipulation.
As new materials are being developed and employed by various industries LQMT’s amorphous metal faces more competition for contracts. The use of these newer materials being used are a fact. Add to this the handful of companies that endeavor to sell amorphous metal and the difficulty for LQMT to succeed becomes more difficult, but not impossible. Add to this the sales and sharing of LQMT’s IP to Apple and companies in China and the ability to profit in the world’s second largest economy and the opportunity to grow abroad shrinks.
The IP sale to Apple does not look like it can be undone. Modified, yes. But undone very unlikely. On the other hand the LQMT/Eontec deal can be undone. But with one of those partners owning 46% of LQMT’s outstanding shares. That too looks highly unlikely today.
The executives employee count has been reduced to a handful. LQMT points out it’s shortfalls and difficulties IMO, more often than it points out the progress being made if any to resolve those shortfalls. Not leaving IMO, a positive impression for shareholders going forward on a daily basis.
On the other hand hand LQMT has announced a contract license for golf clubs of an undetermined amount in Japan, a contract for a place to store and distribute various industrial parts. Not an indication of any new orders, but an indication that a outsourced infrastructure is in place along with the renewal of an agreement with yian technologies in China to manufacture parts for LQMT’s existing orders and potential new orders should they occur.
Domestically for years now LQMT has stated that they need to find a manufacturer to satisfy any sales contracts involving companies prohibited from doing business abroad in China and perhaps elsewhere. They have iterated this problem, but so far have yet to resolve it or give shareholders an update. They have also stated the need for a second high volume manufacturer to satisfy potential customers, but so far this too has not been addressed in an announcement of resolution.
While all of this is taking place many shareholders are trying to connect any and all amorphous metal products and parts to a potential for LQMT to earn millions if not billions. So far these endeavors by outsiders have found only one connection to LQMT that has resulted in revenues received before LQMT itself acknowledged the connection. That connection was not in the field of consumer electronics, where LQMT is prohibited by the LQMT/Apple agreements. That connection was in the field of medical instruments.
I believe researching the www will lead to the next medical connection for a possible contract and increasing revenues.
My opinions are always worth less than the price of LQMT.
Good luck to all in LQMT.

Speaks of extreme low and anemic interest in the stock.
Speaks volumes as to the performances of LQMT executives.
Take a bow TC and Co. I think that may be a record low. And that’s not downplaying any opinions or facts. Those are the facts of trades and interest in the stock for today during normal trading hours.
Any questions any links needed? I did not think so.
LQMT is not a nickel-dime stock for no good reasons . LQMT trades around a dime, because they earned it.
Just review the 10Q’s the 10K’s the Press Releases the 8K’s, the LQMT executive blogs and any other filed documents by LQMT.
Any questions any links needed? I did not think so.
Good luck to all in LQMT
Looking forward to that Medical contract TC & Co. Are working on. Just what the Doctor ordered to help LQMT recover.
Now if they can find a good speech pathologist and debate class, maybe they will be able to communicate more often with the shareholders in between the 8K’s, 10Q’s and 10K’s and secrecy of trade show outcomes.
Yes it is known that LQMT is not obligated to do so. But imo, that is a very poor excuse not to be transparent up or down about the company’s activities, if any. Not saying the company is not working hard at success. Just saying they are not saying anything about that endeavor other than those required filed documents.
It’s why I’m going over the 10K. No effective sales force, no new marketing plans developed. No progress updates being released. All of the domestic operations shut down, their workers laid off and outsourced. Executives terminated and rewarded, while the share price and shareholders value diminishes. All of the research and development that once pumped out patents and potential shareholders held for them just about all gone leading to a feeling of hopelessness and not hope for a more positive future. A ceo overseeing less than a handful of employees in a warehouse leased out collecting a salary over 25% of the gross annual earnings. And what about the others? Their salaries eat up the rest of any contracts.
The company of today is definitely not the company I invested in. Never originally invested in incompetence from the sale of CE IP to Apple to the sale of IP to China to the Open House debacle to the unwritten muzzle policy on executives to discuss progress. To the deception of transferring manufacturing from the USA to China as outlined by LQMT.
In my opinion they gave off the impression that they were ready and had a customer or customers lined up for high volume parts orders and they needed and touted the larger capacity to manufacture those parts a few years ago. Anyone see high volume parts orders yet? And who benefits from the made in China parts? Li does. And who benefits from the LQMT IP sales? Apple and li. And who has not? No one needs a link to figure that one out.
I don’t mind earning money on the not guaranteed wash rinse and repeat cycles. But that is not what anyone should have to do with a material that has so much promise. But unfortunately should consider with the incompetence of how that promise has been managed.
Was there any progress or news to satisfy all of those imaginary customers who are prohibited from trading with China?
With the current rate in which the company is being operating. Your current assessment may be the correct one.
Read the 10K. Signed by LQMT executives. Not-by-Apple-executives.
From your playbook: please explain the many misleading and absolutely incorrect statements:
Remember who stated LQMT was going to explode in March 2022. Remember who stated LQMT was going to announce explosive news and TC was going to announce some explosive statements to pop the share price to 0.50 cents or to 1.00 or higher all on speculation not facts?
Remember who posted before the CC & 10k who stated: “last chance to buy LQMT at 0.15 cents “?
I have to admit that last chance prediction to buy at 0.15 cents a share was spot on. Misleading, but 100% spot on. Because right after the CC & 10K release, the share price tanked 0.06 cents to .09 instead of popping up 0.06 cents on explosive news to 0.21.
The following directly relates to LQMT and the opinions based on facts of LQMT and opinions based on speculation of Liquidmetal technologies as previously posted and stated by posts that currently remain on this board regarding Liquidmetal technologies.
Any reference to CE by LQMT’s LQMT/Apple agreements originally agreed to and worded verbatim in the LQMT/Apple agreements are in every LQMT 10K since 2010. Each party to the LQMT/Apple 2010 agreements, are obligated to share future research in amorphous metal with each other vis-à-vis CRUCIBLE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, LLC., and all of any new research involving or that can be applied to CE (consumer electronics) transfers to Apple and none of it involving CE transfers back to LQMT regarding any CE use. The same applies to Apple whenever they discover a new formula or technique for amorphous metal. All properties of any new applications other than CE use are transferred back to LQMT.
That’s the benefit of the agreements for LQMT. To be able to use anything new discovered by Apple in amorphous metal to be used in medical, auto and anything else other than CE.
Those are the facts of the agreements not opinions, not speculations and absolutely not misleading and absolutely correct. Those facts are also backed up aside from the agreements, by the share price and especially by the anemic trading volumes, low liquidity and almost zero new interest in LQMT. Not to mention the anemic revenues reported annually.
Not opinions! Facts.
Whether LQMT acknowledges any part of the agreements or not does not diminish the agreements nor add anything new. Nor does it imply for any speculation or misleading thoughts to be made by anyone else.
There is absolutely no pursuit of CE, whereby LQMT can profit off of CE.
If there are any pursuits in CE by LQMT, it must be done with a waiver by Apple in those same agreements. If that’s the premise for why anyone invests in LQMT and is involved in CE. It is called speculation and not fact.
It is a fact that LQMT can pursue CE with a waiver from Apple. But it is speculation to believe the waiver was or will be granted.
All who invested in LQMT from the outside invested on speculation of amorphous metal’s growth. Not LQMT’s failures to grow. If LQMT were to receive just one more penny from CE in my opinion, there will be a waiting line for outsiders to buy shares. LQMT trading in the pennies would be a thing of the past and volumes would be in the 10’s of millions daily.
There are absolutely no misleading facts in this post.
It’s a common occurrence for investors in any stock failing to succeed to not to be able to deal with the facts but to ignore them and replace them with what if’s and more speculations. Never focusing on the quarterly and annual realities of decreasing assets and inconsistent revenues. Never focusing on the facts of the past and present. Always mocking and bashing those who do. Always putting down the realities. Always bashing others who try to help others earn income from a short term gain in an existing bad investment, while waiting patiently for that investment to somehow succeed. Just focus on the imaginary future of theories and speculations. Facts be dammed.
It’s a good thing to discuss and share various opinions so that all can learn and discern reality from speculation and why there is no correlation to the share price or trading volumes based on speculation of LQMT’s future. But there is a direct correlation to the share price and daily trading volumes based on the realities of LQMT’s past and present and future as stated by the interim ceo TC.
No new contracts of consumer electronics of any kind no new contracts pending of any kind. Speculation of medical with zero specifics of value.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
Apparently many forget to factor in inflation and share dilution. Just at 3% annually the money invested reduces the share price by 60% over a 20 year period. 30% over a ten year period. 15% over a 5 year period. Add in share dilution and the share price is reduced by another 50% for each share holder since 2016. Now factor in the hyper inflation and probability of a Great Recession and LQMT can be trading realistically at around 0.01 to 0.03.
Of course this can be all offset with a mega contract in medical or auto or non CE industrial contract. Something always hoped for but never yet achieved.
