I certainly enjoy watching LQMT go though it's "growing pains".

There seems to be as much pain and uncertainty as my teenagers experience.

They are approaching the time in which they will be relying on their own hard work and less reliance on their parents finances.

Or so I hope.

I will be proud of LQMT moving forward and paying its own way in a similar fashion.

It is funny!, however, I don't think that they indent it to be

You are right. A lot to look forward to.

Could get pretty darn exciting around here

I'm excited about developments with Microvision.

I'm invested and will be riding along with them.

They have a huge IP base for the wearables space. Like so many of the companies I like, they are small and are likely to be acquired by the power houses in the electronics industry.

When a product utilizing pico projectors becomes a huge hit with the public, that is when people will pay attention to MVIS.

That hasn't happened yet.

I'm installing a new dishwasher in an old house at this very moment.

I am wrestling with PIPES that I was under the DELUSION of believing were straight forward. Back and forth to Home Depot. The wiring is ungrounded (and better not be HOT).

This like LQMT is giving me the run around and taking much longer than expected.

I still believe success is in sight.

I came close to buying FSLR at the beginning. I missed the spectacular rise and fall.

What is interesting is that there are some similarities in the anticipation and actualization of solar technology progression and the progression of the development of BMG implementation.

Solar is still in the the early stages after all these years. In the 1970s solar seemed like it was going to take off.

Very similar to the LQMT experience.

Investors seem to run hot and cold

That or they may receive sage investment advice from their parents.

With all of those things as they are, I did buy LQMT shares for three of my children today.

I know that you did that at one point for your son. These are small positions and they know the painful history and the risks moving forward.

We will see what kind of learning experience this turns out to be.

We have a long way to go, ... perhaps.

I'm buying today.

Maybe so.

When they want to send a message, if they get to that point, buying shares on the open market would do great things to shareholder confidence.

We're not there yet, but we're getting closer.

More bumps in the road. Maybe some nice big ones.

I agree.

Sometimes there is a cost to saving ones own rear end, and making it "clear" that there is no wrong doing.

You are right. There is very often some insider selling just before a rise in PPS.

Mark Hansen owning 25,000 shares of LQMT when he left spoke volumes about how little he thought the company would be earning in the near future.

A token share count like that certainly indicates that Mark believed the share price would not be going up soon. Others have spoken it here many times; if the employees, especially management, are buying boat loads of stock it sends a clear picture of optimism.

What I believe is happening is that there is optimism within Liquidmetal for a bright future. The PPS will need to be at a level that institutional investors are willing to accept, usually around $5/ share at the low end. Insiders at Liquidmetal know that when the company moves toward financial stability they will need to apply a reverse split.

More dilution of our stake will probably occur in the mean time unless some spectacular things are happening that we don't know about. I don't think that it is a good idea to count on that ( ...but, I am).

It will not be until things are looking pretty good to us that the RSS can happen. It seems logical that those in the know will put their own funds on the line at a better time than we can guess.

I'm still optimistic and looking for fantasy creatures here. I just think the unicorns are around a couple more corners.

To understand something very well does mean to direct ones attention

I like it!

Does anyone else feel a shift in sentiment toward the positive beginning. Maybe it's just my imagination, or the lipstick that has been referred to periodically.

I like it.

Maybe we will start wading out of the "potential" swamp.

After SO MANY disappointments, LQMT's handling of the MA contract represents, for me, the fulcrum on which the company turns from potential land to something tangible.

There are a lot of us watching this little order.

I find that I'm a little nervous because of LQMT's history. Paul gives me the greatest confidence overall. There are many things that can go wrong. It feels a bit like a space launch, and we are in the count down.

To have the first successful product launch utilizing Liquidmetal will be tremendous.

Sputnik was very small...

Everyone has a crystal ball.

The problems come with reading the swirling clouds of information regarding LQMT and determining what the realities are.

What is interesting about a board like this is that we get a chance to glimpse what other people see in their crystal balls, and compare that to what we see and perhaps adjust our own interpretations.

It is fascinating to read the personalities here, as well, and to try to understand the intent of posters. I had no idea that there were so many games that people play with public perception until finding this board.

I tend to be overly positive about LQMT and so other ideas that people have who have been around the block are helpful to what I see in my own crystal ball.

I still feel that this is a great time to own LQMT. And this is still my 14 cents.

My crystal ball says to keep what I have and add after the RSS.

I love this post. I'm excited about where things are going here, too.

I do have my RSS fixation, however, and anticipate another time to buy more after that.

I'm looking forward to the fourth quarter!

I enjoyed the CC and trying to read between the lines.

There is certainly a lot of hard work and progress being made. It sounds to me that management is seeking acquisition at a fair price for investors, and at the same time aggressively proceeding with everything necessary for independent success. I'm fine with that.

I'm excited about where we are headed!

It's exciting to be part of VUZI while we are still under the radar.

I suspect that will change fairly quickly. Broad acceptance will take a little longer, however, it's really happening!

VUZI's technology and similar endeavors have begun the inexorable progression toward increasing efficiencies for many aspects of business.

The utilization of HMD technologies for all of us is very close.

For me it can not come fast enough. Although I understand the hesitation by many, our grandchildren will be laughing at the resistance to HMD for everyday utility in most work environments, for education, communication, entertainment etc...

This is a hands free extension of our eyes, ears and voice. The technology is progressing quickly, the software is going to be increasingly amazing. And the ever reducing profile of the hardware will be making it possible for systems that are quite elegant.

The wave guide technology of VUZI is important on this front.

Time to add a little.

At this point I think that it is better said that LQMT's history needs to be disproven to those of us disappointed for so long.

It will take a while to convince us.

A quick pop is just that.

The real deal still takes patience and real positive numbers for us to chew on.

Positive customer experience is one of the things that I am watching for!

Integrity of LQMT over time is another. Delivery of what is promised in a timely, cost efficient manner is another no brainer that needs to be proven.

Paul is making a difference at a time when we are finally at the beginning of being production ready!

I am "cautiously optimistic" as well.

This will still take time. That is where things become proven.

I appreciate your clarity, however. Thank you.

One would think so.

I'm very interested to see what happens over the next few years. I have my ticket. Even if there is no popcorn, I'm enjoying the show!

This pineapple always seems to end up with more shares as time goes by. Now I think I'll wait for the inevitable post RSS.

It sounds like you might possibly agree.

I would love it if the company could make that happen.

The other possibility is that LQMT is acquired by someone with very deep pockets and big ideas.

Lots of very exciting possibilities with a good dose of trepidation!

In the long run a 1 for 30 reverse stock split will be a good thing.

For those of us who currently own shares,... not so much.

Funny.

LQMT is a place for all of us to be cautious. Reading between the lines is often the most interesting.

I tend to get excited about developments. This is a lot of fun, however, decision making without emotional gut wrenching appeal is necessary.

At this point my confidence is not easily won. Sometimes the people I don't enjoy listening to have insight that proves to be the most valuable in the long run.

LQMT is not a safe bet if one needs to rely on those funds. That being said, I have quite a bit at stake, and I am excited about quite a few things that I have relayed over time. I know that I may get burned here, however.

Just to put it out there again. My expectation is that LQMT will have a huge reverse stock split when we start bringing in real revenue and head toward profitability. I expect the PPS to tank following the reverse split at which time I would be excited to add.

I'm not selling what I have unless we have some unrealistic pop in price based on conjecture.

I am still one of the hopeful.

Sounds logical.

How cool is that?!

Dan Cui was instrumental in VUZI partnering with major companies and helped them set a course toward success in a product category that has mind boggling potential.

I am buying into EMAN partly because of Dan's transition to them and what he brings to the table. I appreciate his approachable, comfortable, but, no nonsense approach to communication.

Dan has the ability to help in bringing EMAN's products to a broader market and to contribute to the company's success!

I love what VUZI is doing. It has been a long road for them. I believe that Dan is a great asset for EMAN.

We are here before the general public is aware of the change coming to how we will conduct our daily lives.

The manipulation will come from people who are not that interested in the long term. I don't mind very much because of the opportunities that they will create to buy for those of us who see a bigger picture long term.

The time has come especially in the enterprise space, and still few people are willing to embrace it! I'm fine with that.

When acceptance comes to HMD in low profile configurations the rush by the public to have the newest and best will be tremendous! Think the Apple experience.

The IP VUZI has will be important. Although I hope this is not the case, I believe that we will be bought out because of it.

There are so many elements of concern, and yet, it seems that the company is at another cross roads.

Building the integrity of LQMT from here will be a challenge for management. They will have to deliver what is promised and had better deliver what is implied as well. I can understand their being cautious with what is said. We also listen to what is implied and take that to heart as well.

This is the time for the company to prove itself beyond our worries and negative expectations that we have developed based on experience.

LQMT is at a stage that I was looking forward to.

Now I find that I am looking forward to the time following a future RSS if LQMT begins bringing in substantial revenue.

I would love for LQMT to build to the $5 level organically, however, I just don't see it happening that way.

We've generally become a cold pot of water regarding LQMT. It will be interesting to have the heating element turned on again.

Maybe we can make something this time.

I hope that the chef does a good job, that we have a beautiful presentation, that we have people to serve it to, and that everything that we put into this pot turns out to be delicious.

And I hope that we have enough to satisfy everyone.

We shall see...

Having a good idea of what to expect and working in that framework to arrive at a desired condition is one of the most important parts is the garden experience.

I think that you have a reasonable idea of what to expect with LQMT.

When this snowball starts rolling and revenue increases on a consistent basis, and things start looking very positive, what will management do "in the best interest of the shareholders"?

To attract large investors, an enormous reverse stock split will be "necessary" to bring the stock price to $5. Why would management use their own money to buy shares now?

They will buy after the RSS and the subsequent drop in price.

I'm sure that there will be. The public doesn't have its head wrapped around the concept of HMD yet. When it takes off people will be wondering "why didn't I see that coming?".

This will be fun to watch unfold over the next few years!

The low profile technology that blends with standard looking, or fashion eye wear will be important for the beginning of public acceptance.

Revolutionary use in the enterprise space is beginning now.

Just as with the smart phone, app development will push the capabilities of the hardware. People will catch on.

Remember the early days of the cell phone.
