"An ideal material for a pressure-sensitive home button that would deform slightly when pressed, but return to its normal shape when you remove your finger or thumb. Liquidmetal would always retain this elasticity, while other materials like titanium or stainless steel could become irreversibly deformed and adversely affect the home button.
Liquidmetal-home-button-patent
A second embodiment of the patent details a home button with a switch comprising a small actuator positioned adjacent to Liquidmetal material, whereby pressing the actuator deforms the bulk solidifying amorphous alloy. The efficient design could be easier for Apple to manufacture compared to conventional pressure-sensitive home buttons that use dome switches placed on a substrate with or without an actuation nub."
Wait for it! It's coming just as Steipp said it would!
We still have roughly 5 months in this year! Absolutely no reason why a few significant contracts won't be landed to launch us toward our goal! And this is precisely what Hauck and Steipp said will happen!
TIME TO GET OVER LOOKING AT ONLY THE PAST!!!
This is what I expect tomorrow at the cc!
1. News of ramping up and increase in 2nd quarter revenue!
2. News of more pre-production orders!
3. Update on potential contracts orders that will be announced soon!
4. Confirmation of expectation of Li deal to close next week!
This will all be positive news that gives a lift to the pps!
Not going to happen. We will see significant ramping up in revenue just as Steipp said!
Furthermore we will continue to see the pps climb.
Any down side saying will be stomped out tommorrow at 4:30!
Your post also reinforces the key role this new relationship with EONTEC will play in production, and the fact that Steipp is confident that the remaining 55 million will come in.
You seem to have strong conviction that what Steipp says about profitability is true, why not the rest!!
Great post and undergirds that profitability won't happen until 2017, but break even was postulated for 2016 by Steipp!
This would mean 10 million in revenues for 2016!
Get the difference!
Sorry nothing from your link showing a lack of revenue increase from 2nd quarter 2016. Again just disinformation postulated on this board.
Assessment of a company needs to start with an understanding of its current reality. Here is the current reality of liquidmetal:
1. Most recently it has forged a deal with Lugee Li for 64 million dollars which will be consummated next week!
2. Most recently it has done a cross license with EONTEC, which not only gives liquidmetal rights to its patents, but also is able to do mass production for liquidmetal using a less expensive bmg and for larger parts!
3. Engel has not only perfected a liquidmetal machine that can support different kinds of bmg, but it is also strongly promoting liquidmetal to hundreds of its faithful clients as a ground breaking technology that is production ready!
4. It shares IP with APPLE for 6 years now, where Apple has strongly collaborated together with liquidmetal scientists toward patents. One of their most recent patents for a liquidmetal pressure sensitive home button is now being presented with strong probability to be in the next iPhone!
5. Preproduction of liquid metal parts was revealed in 1st quarter, and predictions of 10-15 contracts for up to 27 million dollars was advocated by Paul Hauck for 2016!
6. Steipp has 1 year to retirement and has held onto his 15 million shares refusing to dump them into the open market even on the spikes to 1.75.
For the first time in its history, liquidmetal is poised for success! I believe rather than seeing our share price trickle downward, we see it rise as news is released. Starting with an increase in revenue that will be unfolded for all to see tomorrow!
Li's position on the board is CURRENT reality!
The remaining 55 million gets solidified next week for sure!
Share price will be at .50 by end of month!
Enjoy the ride. Very exciting times!!!
"This is one of the very few CC's since 2003 in which leading up to the date of the CC the PPS kept going down."
This means absolutely nothing, and in reality there have been many times leading up to CC's that pps has gone down! As the ramp up in revenue is made clear, we will see the PPS rise going forward.
"This indicates that Steipp has nothing to say tomorrow. There has been no procurement of new revenues in the 2nd quarter. The status of the Company remains flat. "
Please provide your link showing no new revenues for 2nd quarter. This information will not be released until tomorrow. Pure conjecture and disinformation with no supporting links!
"The only way I see we derive income from Apple is indirectly (as has also been stated ad infinitum)
through EONTEC manufacturing iPhone cases for Apple or iPhone parts for them. "
This is a very good point and something that I have been trying to stress on this board.
The fact that it looks like the pressure sensitive home button is going to be used in this September iPhone could be the reason why this deal with Li was forged recently. Timing seems perfect!
Also, the liquidmetal patent for this home button was announced about at the same time of the announcement of the deal with Li.
This would absolutely make sense of Li's investment of 64 million and his position on the board right now!
If all of this happens in addition to other contracts, we are going to see a major climb in the share price very quickly!!! At least into the low dollars!!!
Steipp said in 4th quarter cc that we could be at break even by end of 2016.
This translates into roughly 10 million in revenue from contracts!
This seems like very doable goal, and would only take a few substantial contracts before years end to get us to this target.
That cc was the first time in 6 years Steipp started talking concretely about making this kind of revenue to get us to break even.
His word about a slight increase in 1 quarter revenue came to fruition. I expect his word about a ramping up of revenue in 2nd quarter and break even by end of 2016 to come to fruition as well!
We should see a very exciting quarter in front of us!
I believe we will see contracts soon.
We should also see a significant increase in revenue from second quarter which should bolster some confidence that we are moving in the right direction!
Based on the fact that the infusion of the first 8 million from Li has almost tripled the share price, I don't see it taking until 2019 to get to .75. In fact this could easily be accomplished this year by getting one or two repeating contracts in for 500,000 to a few million dollars.
Can understand the disappointment.
Investors have had great expectations over the last 6 years since Steipp became CEO, and the license with Apple, only to experience volatility and a shrinking share price.
All of the Apple hype contributed to the false expectations, therefore, the tremendous disappointment in investors.
Once this deal with Li is finalized and we see some contracts comming in, I believe we will see confidence restored and a significant climb in share price!
It doesn't look like Apple is going to extend the licensing agreement. It has always been done/announced by now.
From what I have read in the past, this is a positive indicator that Apple is now ready for production and past the R&D stage.
Next week Wednesday is the closing date for the deal with Li and his 54 million coming in. This guy is already sitting in our front living room, so the deal is unlikely to fall apart.
It is interesting that Li is comming on board the same year the Apple TTA is not extended, and Apple seams ready for production.
I still believe we will see the unfolding of contracts this year, and a significant increase in revenue from second quarter which will be revealed tommorrow!
Very exciting time to be in this stock, I believe we will end our day today in the green!!
This month is the month we see some of the potential in this company come to fruition, and the stock price climb back up to the .50s!
"We have seen first hand Steipp feeling the absolute need to hire slick glossy stock pumpers promote this exceptional opportunity."
Pretty strong accusation against Steipp. Please enlighten us on these pumpers hired by Steipp, and your proof of this.
Agreements met already!
Li is already in the saddle. Just a formality for his 55 million to be transferred into liquidmetals bank account!
'Honestly, I couldn't have constructed a better post than yours.'
I agree that you couldn't have, but unfortunately it doesn't change the fact that the post is full of errors.
The things you mention have all come up in the process of getting liquidmetal to a place of being production ready.
Why do you think Steipp has never made promises or predictions of revenue, and profitability until recently? Precisely because he has been honest with shareholders, not wanting to construe false information. Furthermore, I have never heard him make promises that we are now ready for full production until recently.
Some have certainly misinterpreted Steipp's words over the years, as well as the development of the technology.
Again, we have never had Engel until recently promote liquidmetal as production ready to hundreds of their faithful customers.
Furthermore, Lugee Li has already invested 8 million of his money into liquidmetal and now sits on the board ready to invest another 55 million, in addition to Eontecs IP, and their mass manufacturing ability with Liquidemtal. It seems certain that this intelligent businessman understands the technology and the fact that it is now ready for mass production.
You fail to acknowledge these points in your critique, and give sound answers to them.
Yah Sparky, all of the investors holding stock long have intentionally been duped.
Only the day traders have really understood the technology, the ill intentions of management to steal our money, the facade of the Li deal, the deceitfulness of Engel, oh and all the phony patents by Apple!
Poor poor long investors!
Actually he is 8 million dollars in the house and on the board!!
Highly unlikely the remainder of the deal will fall through. He's already taken his seat in the living room!!
In your assessment of Steipp, You speak like this technology is something that had been perfected for the last 10 years. Therefore you assume Steipp should have been been cranking out the contracts and revenue. This is the farthest thing from the truth!
Investors here need to come to grips with the reality and fact that injection molding liquidmetal is a innovative and ground breaking technology that has just been perfected in the last 10-15 months!
This is why we are NOW beginning to see numbers in the hundreds of RFQS COME IN. This is why Engel is NOW promoting liquidmetal to their faithful customers as production ready. This is why after 7 years of R&D a multibillion dollar company like Apple is just NOW at a point to use liquidmetal in their products.
Any critical assessment of Steipp has pretty much not understood the technology we are dealing with and the process it has taken to get it to production ready!!!
One phone call with Engel will make this clear!
Hey SG, I believe Steipp is about to show the world that liquidmetal is primed and ready for mass production!
This week will be a very exciting week rolling out the confirmation of the deal with Li, and news of a ramping up of revenue in 2nd quarter.
I believe we see the unfolding of the 10-15 contracts begin over the next 4 months as well!
"Tom WILL NOT willingly leave until LQMT is listed back on the NASDAQ and is trading in the $10.00- $20.00 range.. and on complete autopilot. That will be his legacy! Will take another 2-3 years at least..but just 1 huge contract( 100mm-500mm deal) would get that SP quickly to the $10 range. Tom will walk away at 70 years old with 50-100mm$ in his pocket & it will all go to his kids and grand-kids-"
Great points Yama!
Don't worry Sparky in 2-3 years $2 will look like a steal for LQMT!!
Still waiting for your link! These far fetched conjectures mean bull sheet without links to back them up!!!!
Link please. These accusations mean bull sheet without links to back them up!!!
Wow thanks for the revelation!
Reality is he is making far less then he should be making! $300,000 salary is peanuts for CEO.
Actually it was at such a conference that they caught Lugee Li's attention to the tune of 64 MILLION DOLLARS, and snagged EONTEC AS A MASS PRODUCTION MANUFACTURER!
So you want to tell us again how these conferences are useless?
Don't you worry, the Li deal will indeed happen!!!
You can buy in now at .15 or after it happens in the .30s!!!
Soon we will see the contracts rolling in! Then we are in the low dollars!
Honestly hope your not waiting on the sidelines for .12! Never going to happen!
Steipp is going to take us all the way back to NASDAQ at $10-$20 per share.
Hope you are still hanging round when it happens!
If Steipp doesn't show a great improvement in 2nd quarter revenue,
Or if he comes out with bad news regarding the Li deal then we are all cooked.
On the other hand, if we see a significant improvement in 2nd quarter revenue, and Steipp confirms the follow through of the deal with Li then we will see a nice pop in the share price, and a bright future ahead!
I am betting on the second!
"PS It was Mahamedi who brought in Li. Nothing to do with Steipp."
Link please! Or just your hunch?
And remember Steipp only signed on for another year.
I believe he wants to bring liquidmetal to profitability and for the share price to have stability before leaving!
This indeed will be the legacy he leaves for liquidmetal!
In his 4th quarter 2015 CC Steipp said we would start increasing revenue 1st quarter 2016 (we had 500 percent increase), and then we would see a ramp up in revenue in 2nd quarter 2016.
It will be interesting to see if his projections are on track! If we see a significant ramping up in 2nd quarter as Steipp said we would, this will be great news and continue to bolster confidence in Steipp as CEO, and bolster the share price.
I think if we get good news from this angle, and then Li closes his deal a few days later, and then
a few contracts before end of the year we will be in a good spot to see profitability in 2017. But the share price will already be in the low dollars by the time that happens or before end of this year!
What I am spouting is what Engel and others are spouting to their loyal faithful customers.
You have a problem with Engels assessment of where liquidmetal is in regard to being production ready!
I have no doubt we will see contracts this year! Engel has indicated the immense excitement from their clients, liquidmetal has indicated the number of RFQS and products in preproduction phase since last January, and now we have EONTEC for mass production!
.30-.50 around the corner, low dollars by the end of the year!
Only your assumption. Not those still holding 500 million shares who understand what it takes to get a disruptive technology off the ground, and understand of where we are in the process toward contracts, production and profitability!!!!
Contracts and profitability is only possible when production ready. This is where we are!!!
I think we see our share price rise tomorrow in anticipation that news is released over the weekend!
I still think we hear news of Li's 55 million deal finalized before next Tuesday. This will quickly get the share price up into the .30s.
I also believe we have good news in front of us with up comming contracts, a new facility, Apple products using liquidmetal, and EONTEC doing mass manufacturing of parts for us including the CoNextions product!
Still a good chance we will see a liquidmetal home button in the next iPhone, even if the case is not liquidmetal!
Burn rate 2.3 million per quarter. Where in the world are you comming up with 5-6 million per quarter.
