But seldom understood.
Just our luck LQMT not prepared for global headwinds and preparing to ink contracts. What timing. 21 years to prepare and do they have timing.
Hope it’s a big one.
Absolutely correct. The liquidity is too low. So why the sell? Its the third day of selling before an upcoming 10K. Just does not make too much sense, unless the cash was needed or just a rebalancing of portfolios due to the market’s reaction to global turmoil now in Europe and the fallout. The latter would make more sense.
I posted this earlier today: “IMO, The burdens of why the share price goes up or down, solely are the responsibility of the executives of LQMT. These pull backs always sets up new buying opportunities for new short and new long term buyers.”
Not too many took advantage of the dip back to the 0.10’s. Could be a missed opportunity or perhaps another one tomorrow.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
LQMT drops 9.5% in first hour of trading on extremely very little trading volumes. Breaking the 11’s and back into the 0.10’s. That’s almost a 40% drop in share price and the value of anyones LQMT portfolio since January 24th, 2022.
Why? Three reasons. 1. LQMT’s trading volumes are anemic. Anemic traded stocks are subject to wider swings in their share prices, because it only takes a small buy or sell order to move the share price up or down with little liquidity to a greater extent. Thus anemic trading stocks can be manipulated very easily with larger than normal trading activity. But manipulation by virtue of today’s low trading volume definitely is not in play here. 2. As stated in my previous posts recently, if The interim ceo of LQMT does not release follow up communications to capitalize on LQMT’s three recent news stories, the share price drifts lower continuing LQMT’s long term downward spiral. 3. As always the failure to announce new contracts always drops the share price.
IMO, The burdens of why the share price goes up or down, solely are the responsibility of the executives of LQMT. These pull backs always sets up new buying opportunities for new short and new long term buyers.
The share price of LQMT did not pop on manipulation but on three news stories. Neither has the LQMT share price dropped on manipulation.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
You might want to sell less and if your instincts are correct based on the historical data of LQMT, you will be able to buy back in much cheaper and have the option to hold on as in averaging down or selling for a profit. Or doing both e with the gain as I have done with the last four wash rinse and repeat cycles.
Of course the optimum strategy would not be to sell any of your long term position, but to add a short term position to take full advantage of the next cycle not if, but when it occurs based on LQMT’s performance. Reasons for the latter strategy is your FOMO. In that scenario you would be up huge on both positions, should LQMT announce a bigger contract. If not you still have the option to make a 40% or higher profit on those wash rinse and repeat cycle share.
Either strategy would still work no matter which or what percentage you use. Only the outcomes of gains change. What prevents many from doing what you want to do is FOMO. In other investors, greed or stubbornness. I don’t fault any of the reasons for not doing it.
If money is the issue, than your position is spot on. The key for anyone should always be do whatever one can afford.
Good luck to you.
Sound familiar?
“But what about the still missing puzzle of finding or renewing a contract for domestic manufacturing with the same equipment and process that Professor Li in China is using? LQMT has still not made any announcement. Professor Li and his former executives who recently exited LQMT stated a backup manufacturer was key to satisfying customers concerns.”
It’s from one of my recent posts and has been iterated since the December 24 2020 executive blog.
Could be in negotiations right now. Will this complete the runway? Can contracts be anticipated once again? There are high volume customers right now that are not permitted to do business with China.
Perhaps now the theorists out there who are searching for a clue can get a head start and search for these potential high volume customers right now. We know Apple and Tesla can be eliminated from this new potential list. Read the agreements, follow the clues. They are out there hidden in plain sight.
Always focus on LQMT and follow the money. Their style for marketing is made very plain and compromised by their lack of cash to manufacture on their own. The agreements also clearly tell you something else about management and the real reasons for contract delays.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
An excerpt from the original Yihao partnership announcement. Not the recent one.
“ Yihao Metal and Liquidmetal are ideal partners due to our combined expertise serving an array of markets, including consumer electronics, consumer products, automotive, medical and industrial firms. Clients in these specialties enjoy an array of benefits including Yihao Metal’s in-house mold design and fabrication, rapid project start-up, tooling as well as alloy production and recycling.”
That was a few years ago. You can read the new one from LQMT’s publicly filed documents.
I don’t want to guess or speculate why or what for. I can only conclude LQMT either needs to confirm the partnership to satisfy existing contract concerns and or any possible new ones that might be in the works. I state this because LQMT has not stated it one way or the other.
I cannot speculate that it means increasing revenues or just more of the same from existing ones. It should not matter either way if you already have shares and are waiting for Professor li to duplicate in the USA what he has done for China according to accounts of progress on the www.
I can say if your not in LQMT read the agreements and you might want to roll the dice in LQMT even if its just out of curiosity. Who knows? This could be the year LQMT makes it. Just keep in mind the economic global headwinds are very strong and increasing driving all of the markets down excluding some precious metals and contrary investment funds.
Good luck to all in LQMT
If anyone needs a link to full original link referred to above, just ask.
Another week passes and LQMT drops 8% from 0.125 to 0.1152 on extremely low trading volumes. As predicted without follow up communications to their recent three news stories of new agreements for a distributor in Europe based in Ireland. A renewal for non exclusive manufacturing in China and a licensing contract for golf clubs from Japan. The share price would continue to trade between the 11’s and 12’s.
The share price is also supported by the upcoming 10K in March and a possible statement from the interim CEO.
No one knows what the Interim CEO will state. An educated guess would be on the three news stories above mixed in with forward worded commentary about the future. If so this is not unusual given LQMT’s past situations and the way LQMT conducted themselves before. Or perhaps more positive progress will be shared with shareholders and non-shareholders. Thus a timeline for increasing sales revenues can be accurately assessed buying more time to seal contracts. Of course all of this is speculation. Perhaps a Q. and A. With the interim CEO.
All shareholders are still waiting for Li’s handoff to TC to come to a positive conclusion.
LQMT has always been able to talk the talk. They have yet to walk the walk or walk the talk. While Professor Li has done all three in China according to data on the www.
LQMT is long overdue for breaking through with new contracts to complete their recent storage and distribution contract and renewal contract for manufacturing parts in China.
But what about the still missing puzzle of finding or renewing a contract for domestic manufacturing with the same equipment and process that Professor Li in China is using? LQMT has still not made any announcement. Professor Li and his former executives who recently exited LQMT stated a backup manufacturer was key to satisfying customers concerns.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
Thank you. Was inspired by your eye opening posts back in 2017. When everyone saw green growing, you and a few others saw differently. After 16 years back then, I sure thought Li was the ticket. Should have known better. The sale of TC’s options were the nail on the coffin. The end result was the direct opposite impression of what the ceo touted to all shareholders back then. Since that time a bunch of fruitless blogs and except for a few small contracts, crickets. LQMT used to thrive on the speculation and rumors of an Apple contract. That’s gone, those days are over. Expectations, speculation and hope now are replaced with reality of LQMT’s bottom line 10Q’s, anemic trading volumes and a penny stock worthy of it’s contracts just worthy to cause a small pop in the share price.
Those small contracts, those small pops are enough to earn a few short term gains. Unfortunately that’s the reality.
A company saying they have everything in place to make sales and not making use of everything you have to make those sales is like having nothing in place at all. One executive says they’re ready and another one says they need to extend the runway and yet another one says no, we are not prepared. LQMT needs more time to prepare. Ok so they have more time. What about communicating? Crickets.
You keep on misreading my posts on contracts. NO CONTRACTS WORTH 100’s OF MILLIONS IN SALES!!! My posts cover the four small contracts which are always welcome news. My posts cover the last two small contracts 18 months apart which are also welcoming news. Small contracts with large gaps of no contracts in between is what generates the wash, rinse and repeat cycles. Rumors and hype used to do the same. The last one of those took place in 2017 and right after TC sold his options. After that it’s been guitar bridge pins, Zyris, more Zyris and now Golf Clubs none of which broke past .18 cents.
So when I state no contracts. I’m clearly talking about contracts to raise shareholders value. Contracts to raise the share price past $1.00 dollar. Contracts to match the theories, the dots, the dashes, the maze theories, the expectations, the potential. Contracts to raise the liquidity in trading volumes daily above a quarter of one percent. Contracts to raise the daily trading volumes above 2, 3, & 4%.
So when I say no contracts. I mean no contracts!!!
Now you are getting it. Just one thing and you will have nailed it. There are no bears in LQMT wanting the company not to succeed.
LQMT does a very good job of reporting the facts. Focusing on those facts is not bashing. No one owning shares that I am aware of wants to see LQMT fail. It’s just a fact that LQMT has failed to succeed in selling millions of dollars in amorphous metal parts where others who have permission to use LQMT’s IP are succeeding.
While you focus on the dots . I’ll focus on the facts of LQMT. Only LQMT can change those facts for the future with contracts. Theories are not facts.
You haven’t obviously read the facts. Where are the contracts??? Here’s one example: Eontec has been selling amorphous metal parts to Huawei for years now and receiving revenues. Not LQMT.
LQMT has never ever indicated they have any contracts to manufacture amorphous metal parts for CE products since the perpetuity sale of it’s IP TO APPLE!!
Undisputed facts and it shows in both the bottom line of every 10Q, share price and trading liquidity of LQMT.
Reality based on facts not disingenuous theories.
You can only have an explosive company with growth through explosive contracts of which LQMT has none. No contracts, no growth. Pumping or hype and well wishing does not an explosive company make. It sounds good reading all of the theories. But it’s contracts and reality that counts.
Those are not facts that directly relate to LQMT. Those are theories based on second and third party websites. Their data if even true does not in anyway relate to LQMT or it’s bottom line. If it did in anyway shape or form both the share price and daily trading volumes of LQMT would be much higher. Don’t take my word for it. Just look at the anemic trading volumes past and present and the share price past and present.
As long as there are no consistent quarterly revenue growth reported, there will always be a wash rinse and repeat cycle. As long as there are no new contracts LQMT will never hit .50 cents and will head lower. These wash, rinse and repeat cycles can take as much as 24 months or less. The last one just happened and took about 12 months.
Would be nice to see LQMT hit .50. Without contracts and just hype and pumping it will never happen.
Just as LQMT can go up on good news it can also go down on no news. Another reality only a few cannot deal with.
There are no indicators of explosive growth in amorphous metal connected to any contracts involving LQMT. That is why the daily trading volumes are anemic. That is why the share price still trades in pennies close to 10 cents a share. That is why long term charts show LQMT trading South not North. That is why LQMT has announced only two small contracts(for which all should be grateful for) regarding any new sales contracts in 18 months. That is why LQMT has not updated any shareholder’s regarding progress of any specific sales that might impact revenues in the future. Those are facts and not opinions. Those are realities many avoid.
There are no positive cash flows from LQMT product part sales. The cash you talk about are not in anyway associated with LQMT part sales. The cash you talk about is the cash from LQMT selling it’s IP technology to China and for excluding Asia from it’s footprint to do business with for the purpose of earning any revenues from sales. It was not just the IP LQMT sold, it also included giving up the world’s second largest global economic powerhouse to derive revenues in the event of any amorphous metal sales. This alone has caused LQMT to lose millions of dollars already in China according to their data and perhaps hundreds of millions in future dollars according to the whale contracts mentioned in China by the companies using LQMT’s own IP, that was bought and paid for by LQMT’s former ceo li. That balance sheet of cash you refer to is not a balance sheet of cash from any amorphous metal part sales. Its once again only from IP SALES.
LQMT has had partnerships in the past. They come and go and without any explanation other than time ran out and no mutual renewal. A building that was touted to be the place for domestic manufacturing of parts failed, closed and is now leased out for rent. The real estate appreciation is not why anyone invested in LQMT and also is not by anyones definition an indicator of an explosive company about to sell amorphous metal parts to the world. It’s a clear indicator of failure!
None absolutely none of what you point out are indicators of a reality pointing to an explosive company trading on the otcbb LQMT.
You love the stock that’s great. But your reasons are clearly not valid when compared to the realities of LQMT’s performance past and present.
It’s all real. Its why you look elsewhere. Many cannot deal with reality of LQMT.
Already have long term positions from 2001 on. Have stopped accumulating. Time for LQMT to start earning consistent increases in quarterly revenues. Also, long overdue. LQMT has no domestic high volume manufacturer.
Where are the contracts? All have a general idea who the customers might be and the industrial areas LQMT are trying to enter. Where are the communications from LQMT regarding any contacts made from recent trade shows? Where are the contracts from the prototypes? What, four small contracts in six years, two of them announced from the new high volume partnership in China in 18 months.
Right now LQMT gives very little reasons to buy buy buy. Unless speculations are the only reasons.
LQMT gives no reasons to accumulate. If I thought amzn was worth buying at $300 a share, I sure as heck would think LQMT would be too if they had solid data to back up any speculations.
Apparently very few by virtue of their trading volumes think it’s worth it at 10 cents 7 cents or 12 cents.
It’s not about the share price. It’s about LQMT doing what they say to everyone. THEY ARE A CONTACT COMPANY!!!
ITS ABOUT THE LACK OF CONTRACTS.!!!
What does LQMT manufacture? Answer: Nothing. LQMT is a contract company! LQMT sold in perpetuity their ability to contact any CE product made with amorphous metal unless the terms for contracting CE product parts are met. But setting aside the fact that LQMT has no contracts yet for CE parts or has contracted for future CE parts to be manufactured.
WHERE ARE THE OTHER CONTRACTS FOR HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN ALL OF THE OTHER AREAS THAT LQMT ARE ALLOWED TO PERSUE?
WHERE ARE THEY? I’LL TELL YOU WHERE. THERE ARE NONE. PERIOD!
WHERE ARE ALL OF THE HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS THAT LQMT WERE-MAKING HUNDREDS OF PROTOTYPES FOR?
WHERE ARE THEY? HECK IF ANY OUTSIDE SHAREHOLDERS KNOW. OBVIOUSLY THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED.
IT MAY or MAY NOT TAKE DECADES TO BRING A NEW MATERIAL TO PROFITABILITY. BUT IT SURE AS HECK DOES NOT TAKE DECADES FOR INTERESTED CUSTOMERS TO CONTRACT ORDERS FOR THE NEW MATERIAL PARTS ONCE THEY ARE MADE.
Anyone knows just like the bark of LQMT executives, the bark of anyone pushing hype of anything huge going on at LQMT, are 1000 times louder than the bight. The above are exactly the reasons why the trading volumes are very anemic and the share price still trades in the pennies.
If LQMT is a contract company, then where the heck are all of those contracts to match the products pictured on the LQMT website? How come there are always between four and six customers listed in the 10K. How come LQMT cannot grow the revenues quarterly?
You only hear crickets from LQMT executives and zero revenues to match their own rhetoric. LQMT must be so disappointed they removed most of their own rhetoric about progress.
While many focus on each other and while others focus for clues to give themselves some form of hope and sanity for investing in LQMT. Only a handful focus on and comment on the realities of LQMT and it’s past, present and future state, based on the realities of LQMT’s own statements. Not based on hype or potential hype. For if hype and potential hype had any affect on the share price of LQMT, we sure as heck would not be looking at LQMT trading around 10 cents. And if anyone outside of LQMT, not presently in LQMT believed in any of the potential from any of second party and third party articles about amorphous metal and LQMT you would be looking at LQMT trading above one dollar a share with 25 million shares trading daily.
Now it may be to their detriment. But no investor in LQMT should be beholden to their detriment for not being interested. LQMT is where it is because of their own inabilities to seal the deal. PERIOD!
Good luck to all in LQMT.
Looks like there has been a blackout period since 2017 for LQMT. Must be a world record. Perhaps one that should be entered into the Guinness book of world records.
Very well though out.
That would accurately explain all of the why’s.
Stock is already up 35% YTD. Why would it rise over 100% YTD. News is already out. No follow ups from LQMT to carry forward momentum or increase for a demand in shares.
Accumulatiom of stock has sustained the share price. this normally lasts for about two months after news. Three news cycles have taken place starting on Dec. 13, 2021. Upcoming 10K keeps this in play between the 11's and 12's as predicted in two of my posts.
Low volumes allow for wide price swings. A few thousand shares pops or drops the share price 8% or more. But why would anyone sell with an upcoming 10K a few weeks away?
A lot can happen with LQMT in a few short weeks.
That said IMO, its ridiculous to think LQMT is worth more than a pop of 35% to 40% in the pps. Based on what reality? Especially when demand for shares remains anemic.
LQMT is at another make or break point in time. Either continue with communications and build upon recent news announcements or ink a deal worthy of another 50% spike or more.
The ball is in LQMT'S court. The court of reality. That is why it is in the 11's and 12's more or less. LQMT sets the tone for demand on their schedule, their time frame not ours.
Is the Runway finished?
Good luck to all in LQMT.
What say you T.C.?
Proof. A simple short article to review that requires no legal expertise. So when you read about a CE product using Liquidmetal and Liquidmetal’s IP. Here’s why….
https://www.iclarified.com/11077/apple-licenses-liquidmetal-technologies-for-consumer-electronics
Keep it simple. Of course anyone is welcomed to read the entire document and all of the revisions. But back in 2010 desperation and greed gave it away. The same thing happened again when LQMT reduced it’s footprint in 2016.
They are the reasons LQMT is struggling with rent money, bridge pins, golf clubs and perhaps a few spring washers etc., etc.
This March 2022 all await for the interim ceo to pull a rabbit out of the Liquidmetal hat. While those on the outside wait for LQMT to announce contracts to raise the value of LQMT’s share price. Six years ago, beginning with a pr the share dilution doubles. The OH debacle follows. The new manufacturing capacity sits idle. Operating losses mount. Cash reserves slashed. Shareholder’s meetings put off every three years. Silence on progress. Renewal of a few old contracts and announcement of a new contract. Quarterly revenues under a million dollars with no steady growth.
Yes there is plenty of proof that Liquidmetal can be used for many of Apple’s products. But there is no proof that any Apple manufactured amorphous metal products using the LQMT IP will ever translate into the revenues often bantered about out there on the www.
The 2010 agreements are proof enough. All you have to do is look at the share price. If one needs further proof. Not even website info of pics and innuendo have moved the needle. Can anyone answer why not?
Crickets.
Realistically, if anyone believes 1/10th of any of that information had a remote chance of coming to fruition. Don’t you think Wall Street would be interested too? Each of the major brokerage firms have teams of analysts that specialize in and assigned to reviewing micro caps. Don’t you think that they have better access to all of the available information? Or are the LQMT investors the only geniuses on LQMT, who can decipher all of the gobbledygook found on the www. Does not anyone think if any of it meant anything to LQMT’s bottom line, there would be a spike in the demand for shares?
Let’s just say all of the pics showing CE amorphous metal parts with LQMT IP are true and that orders for these parts from abroad, from these companies are exploding all over the place. LQMT is still not getting one dime. Why is that? Because as I have stated many times before LQMT’s amorphous metal has been used for over three years now in many of these parts and you don’t see any revenues received from these millions of dollars collected by the companies making the sale. Not even a finders fee whiff. Still need more proof? If anyone does their not in the right stock for the right reasons.
LQMT clearly states they need legal approval to integrate LQMT amorphous metal before considering contracting for sale any CE product part. So a couple of shareholders know what those parts are and Wall Street does not. Seriously?
You see the trade volumes rocking? That train that left the station was not the LQMT train. That was the Eontec yihao train and that conductor was Professor Li. How do I know? Because Professor Li does not live here. The long term price charts will show anyone which trains have left the station. LQMT definitely is not one of them.
This won’t stop the hype. Hype and or pumping any stock does not come from the land of reality. It comes from the land of what if’s and speculation and the land of hope. Strategies that are always of interest but no longer interest many to buy in. Seems like there’s so much hypothetical hype it’s diluting the share price.
Just crickets.
Good luck to all in LQMT
Any updates T.C.? The stock is getting boring and many are repeating the same info. Finding hope, not any progress or contracts. You can’t make this stuff up T.C. Some are even claiming that LQMT has ordered high volumes of parts to be manufactured without having any contracts.
You ever hear of Put options? Call Options? The key to good investing is understanding how to invest.
Now there are no call or put options in LQMT. But there does exist the options to buy at every wash, rinse and repeat cycle instead of constantly bragging about how much your shares are worth on paper and not making any money to actually put back into your pockets. Now that’s the key to investing in LQMT.
So yes you can buy high, sell low and pocket thousands. There are even several solid bear funds you can invest in to earn many more thousands. Think about it. I can post a few for you to make money. Better to park money in one of these than LQMT during a possible recession and 30 to 40% market recession down turn.
And by the way those bear funds are relatively comparably cheap to the price of LQMT. Don’t feel bad not everyone understands all of the aspects of investing. I got lucky once, made a huge sum on call options many many years ago, when I was young and stupid and was briefly investigated by the SEC. The investigation was closed, when the firm the investment was made from asked the investigator if he wanted to see all of the losing call and put options placed. Now I’m no longer young, just stupid.
Think about it!!
That’s it two million and no more and that’s based on all the unverifiable hype that’s guaranteed to culminate in something big.
Actually I’m still counting on TC to update us on progress to break the over 10 year pattern of silence after a PR of very good news.
I would say recent accumulations are based on the verifiable communications from TC and IB.
Totally agree. Sounds crazy to sell. Seems like money was needed asap. Guess they had no idea a 10Q/10K is due in a few weeks.
Now that’s proof! I’ll raise you a million shares and raise the pps to 0.13 at the close of trading.
Helena Zeng, is not representative for LQMT. Helena Zeng does not speak for LQMT. in any area for information regarding any ongoing operations. At best if anything at all if she is in fact a representative. She represents another company and is speaking of existing parts orders regarding LQMT in LF California for LQMT and not any amorphous metal in smart phone sales or Apple product sales. Especially Apple!
Obviously it’s not proof of any amorphous metal CE parts sales. That’s not what an 8K sales agreement would look like in any shape or form. It’s an iteration of a partnership from a manufacturer to supply parts for LQMT’s existing orders that were established three years ago and any new orders or new contracts should LQMT ever ink a deal. It’s not proof of any deal. Or any new deal. That occurs when LQMT releases a PR. Not when speculations are detailed in such a fashion to stretch a theory into reality that does not exist.
How many shares did they sell?
Sounds like a very reasonable approach for investing in LQMT and I’m 1000% sure outsiders with deep pockets will be buying and not crying. I’ve bought Berkshire Hathaway B stock at $75, Amazon over $300 a share and many others above $30. I’m quite sure LQMT at a buck will be no problem. Small pockets think .010 is cheap. Deep pockets could careless. It’s like the stock wallbox wbx. It was featured in a super bowl commercial. It’s overvalued by some. It’s speculative and like LQMT it’s a stock for the future who’s time has come.
This is not off topic. Which company are you invested in? LQMT or companies in China manufacturing parts possibly made with amorphous metal using IP of Apple under the 2010 agreement between Apple and LQMT?
That’s not proof of a LQMT agreement between any company, whereby any revenues will flow into the coffers of LQMT’s bottom line. It’s only a iteration of China’s expanded sales of amorphous metal with the wales going back to a news story from around 2016. It’s old news with new customers.
If you notice. The list of customers gets longer in China. Not the list of customers in LQMT.
You see a pattern there?
Revenues increase in China. Not in LQMT.
As I try to say again and again: Where are the contracts? Where are the revenues?
I don’t see them and neither do you.
There is a big difference between reality and theory. One is proven and the other needs to be proven. I look at the financial data from LQMT and I have 20 years of proof. I look at the theories and forward worded commentary and I got anemic trading volumes, quarterly earnings under a million quarterly and .12 cents after 20 years.
Don’t you believe your points of views are worth more, much more than that? I do. They’re valid points of view. But points of views apparently do not move the share price needle nor interest anyone with deeper pockets. But they are at least interesting theories, I will agree.
Never the less. It’s still not proof of any contracts.
That’s easy to explain.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-card_Monte
Now if TC ever gets around to announcing that waiver briefly mentioned, then I guarantee the pps will rise or rocket up, without a contract and without anyone posting pictures or theories. And the volumes will also rocket up from 1% to 5% and higher and the hype will have more bite and less bark.
Well then, where are the contracts? Where’s the beef? They have been selling CE to 3 whales since 2017. You have been claiming and stating in your posts LQMT can sell CE. Why haven’t they. If LQMT is both more economical to use as a material of equal or greater strength, where are the contracts in automotive and industrial? Where are the contracts to grow LQMT steadily to over $100 million per quarter?
You list whales. You never list contracts. Why? Because for LQMT neither one exists. Why? Because there are no dots, no dashes, no lines and no verifiable data to connect LQMT to any of these companies you list. You know why? Because the trading volumes are anemic for years now, LQMT quarterly revenues have been under a million dollars for over 10 years now and it trades at 0.12 cents.
Those whales you list do not need to be educated. Apparently from your posts, LQMT needs to be educated. Since you know the answers, it might be a good idea for you to call LQMT’s shareholder relations and inform them of your data.
Or just ask yourself. Why would a company intentionally not be able to sell multi million dollar contracts to every other industry other than CE for over 20 years or even five years? Both Materion had and have those capabilities.
Can you detail the answers to those questions directly impacting LQMT’s bottom line? I’m sure all long terms, short terms and in between terms would like to know.
Heck I’m sure LQMT would like to know too. If anyone can explain these facts to all in LQMT based on your data, it would be you. Go ahead give them your best shot. Hit a home run. Everyone in LQMT today will gladly take a dollar a share from any theories. Yours are just as good as any others.
I’m agreeing with you. In fact I think all are agreeing with you. All of these companies excluding LQMT are making big bucks! The key here is excluding LQMT? If you know the answers, kindly tell us. I think all would like to know.
Another week passes and LQMT is up 4.2% from 0.12 to 0.125 on extremely low trading volumes. The volumes are so low that the last 20,000 traded shares represented the difference between closing down 1.5% or up 4.2%. For all to get a clearer picture and better understanding, that’s only about $2,400 dollars that meant the difference between closing up or down in the last 15 minutes of trading. A price swing of 5.7%.
It means the share price is extremely shallow and not supported by real interest in the stock to develop an accurate chart trend up or down right now. It’s not in a bear trend nor a bullish trend based on any large volumes of interest. It’s doing what it normally does historically after LQMT announces a contract. It pops up, pulls back and hold for awhile waiting for more LQMT news. If no follow up news is released. The share price heads lower not higher and anyone, the one’s who projected a bullish chart are left scratching their heads, twiddling their thumbs and left scrambling for more excuses to kick the can down the road. A pattern in LQMT that has been going on for years. Many, many years.
What happens next is very simple. LQMT gets hyped again for another quarter, while the share price drifts lower for the umpteenth time, while waiting for the next contract or forward worded commentary from LQMT to pop or rocket the share price. While this is all going on the trading volumes remain anemic, extremely low and under 1% of the float.
The bold dice rollers buy the dip once again and sell on the next pop, often referred to as the next wash rinse and repeat cycle. Profits are taken and some of the gains from these cycles are added to their long term position for much bigger gains waiting for the day that LQMT ever lands contracts of steady growth or one big whale.
The holding share price pattern usually takes two to three months before LQMT heads lower or higher. Right now there has been more buying than selling in step with the low trading volumes. Imo, the accumulation by low volume trades does not represent enthusiastic support for anything big to happen. If big bucks and deep pockets were involved with conviction, the trading volumes would be closer to 2, 3, 4% and higher.
Either that is correct or LQMT knows how to keep secrets better than the Manhattan Project.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
LQMT and the realities of a very serious recession. A poster today posted views on the state of our economies today with a snapshot of where the economy is and his position on LQMT, and although businesses that may connect with LQMT in the future will be affected, I agree with the posters view to hold onto LQMT in the event of a recession or in the event there is no recession. Not as a hedge. But due to the fact that LQMT’s present share price are not dependent on these mega cap companies where no contracts exist in the first place. Thus a decrease in mega cap stock values have no impact on LQMT short term. It will affect LQMT by possibly delaying a contract. The key here is simply this. Is there an economical benefit to use LQMT’s IP or not! Will the use of a superior material increase or decrease profits?
With inflation the way it is and where it’s going and inaction by the treasury for over six months now to tame it, may very well lead to something more serious then “short term volatility.” It may lead to another recession and long term stagnation experienced between 2008 through 2015.
When asked about these casinos (the stock markets) I always remind people, the elevator does not always go up. You have to know which floor to get off. Otherwise emotional investing kicks in and the elevator cables begin to vibrate and fail.
Follow your gut instinct. Is there more upside or downside? Are global worries increasing or decreasing? Will the price of energy suck all discretionary spending out of the economy? Is that good for the stock markets?
Is inflation the only problem affecting the price of goods sold? The failures of measuring crime and it’s impact to force businesses to close stores, to raise prices to recover losses alone, will suck the wind out of the economy here let alone energy prices and inflation and global fears.
If it were just inflation I would agree on a possible short term correction. But it’s not. There are many other factors here in play and I do not think that what is in play here will permit the powers in play to build more floors on top of the existing ones for this elevator to keep on going up at the pace of 2016 through 2021. That’s why the elevator has stalled at the top of existing levels. Both businesses and the powers in play are grasping for imaginary solutions from their bag of tricks to avoid looking at the real causes and affects to find real solutions
It always happens when (to be polite) idiots are in charge and its not about any one particular political party. As one of this country’s best known former comedian’s Bob Hope, once said; "No one party can fool all of the people all of the time. That's why we have two parties."
That’s why the roller coaster ride slowed down. The children on the ride are not sure if the roller coaster is going higher it’s there first ride. The adults know better from experience.
Notice while the markets have pulled back, YTD LQMT has not. The same reasons for buying LQMT stock have not changed due to any recession. I have held onto LQMT through two serious recessions. Another one will have no bearing on LQMT imo. Not until LQMT has contracts with companies affected by an economic downturn will LQMT be affected. In other words LQMT is already at the bottom rung. It never rocketed up when the markets climbed upwards through two bull markets nor rocketed down due to and throughout two bear markets. Why? Because once again LQMT has no contracts with mega caps and little revenues from a mid cap. They are probably more prone to a late rent payment being more of a liability.
Sometimes the obvious is overlooked. LQMT never got on the up elevator in the first place. The last time they were on the top floor, they used the back stairway and paid a hefty price for it. Not to mention they were sent down to the basement and only came up for three cigarette breaks. The last one in 2017.
Think wisely with this dice roll and with the rest of your portfolio.
Hang in there.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
