Late to the party, amigo. Next stop USD 2.70 plus minus 0.20
To me, it means he lost the optimum entry point and he is ruing his misfortune.
It's okay to be a risk taker. That's how you make good coin.
Nothing ventured, Nothing gained.
Lot of hat, but no cattle.
So you mean AAPL should be using the LK machines modified by Lugee Li? What is your point, anyways? Please explain, thanks. Get my cogs turning some more.
Funny, I didn't think it informative at all.
What did you think was NEW?
How about telling us the date of when commercial production starts.
It wasn't yesterday.
Patience, grasshopper.
I would say more in the USD 2.80 target area. Let's try to go in order, please.
Somebody really missed out at the USD 1.40-1.50 purchase range. Must be smartin now, big time. That's the problem with motor mouth pronostications.
Don't forget that it was the TAIWANESE who created the manufacturing boom in China with their technology.
Now they are moving operations AWAY from China to the USA and Europe and other countries in Asia.

Jack Cheng of Hon Hai is no dummy. Pretty much they are cutting ties with the CCP.
Lugee Li would be WISE to do the same with LQMT and build in the USA.
https://www.crainscleveland.com/opinion/personal-view-heres-why-ohio-poised-decades-job-growth
Read this and you will understand the vision that Jack Cheng of Hon Hai had to partner with LMC and to situate in Ohio.
People, with the right attitude, you can see clearly the same way. LMC is right in the hub of a new manufacturing boom in Ohio!

As a golfer, I have never been concerned about being in the woods or out of the woods. The same goes with investing. In the woods gives one a great opportunity to further one's ability in risk taking as well as how to practice hitting out of the woods.
I have never known any golf professional who ever worried about being in the woods.
Winners are risk takers and take the woods in stride.
I never knew a golf professional to obsess about woods or even hazards or water holes. They simply prepare for such eventualities and move on with what's before them.
That's how they win. Remember, it's not how, it's how many.
Some of the best golfers I played were scramblers.
Done. Lookin for a double by end of month.
Always has been a stupid name, with nothing to do with its operating properties.
It was one of John Kang's ideas, which was derived from his fondness for Arnold Schwarzeneggar and his Terminator Series featuring a Liquidmetal Policeman who, when shot, looked just like Liquidmetal spilling out of his matrix.
Scientists from day one poo pooed this name. It's a frickin joke...
Just like Lqmt as an investment. A frickin Joke.
Half way to buying 100000 shares today.
USD 1.95 per share on low volume.
Not exactly a short squeeze, now, is it?
If production were beginning on Monday, the 18th, the leak would be out already, wouldn't it.
Afraid this is just a suck in at high prices and we will take a battering on Monday.
Are you sure it was a birdie and not a bird?
Lot of babble been posted of late.
Beware of the source when it's in the sauce.
I bought in a lot in the buck fifties.
Someone else has been doing all the heavy lifting for me. Thanks!
Commercial Production begins MONDAY, July 18, 2021 at Lordstown Motors.
YES!
NOT LOOKING GOOD at RIVIAN. NOT GOOD AT ALL. Far too OVEREXTENDED.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/ev-startup-rivian-looking-to-cut-costs-make-workforce-reductions-ceo-says-11657650508?mod=djem10point
Electric-vehicle startup Rivian RIVN 0.70%? Automotive Inc. is looking to realign its business by cutting costs, halting hiring of non-factory workers and making other reductions, according to an internal letter from Chief Executive RJ Scaringe.
The belt-tightening moves are intended to keep Rivian’s operations nimble and efficient and are a response to the changing economic conditions, Mr. Scaringe said in the letter, sent to employees Monday night and reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
The letter didn’t offer specifics on what else the company had planned, only to say that it is trying to be as thoughtful as possible about any workforce reductions. Mr. Scaringe said he plans to share more details on Friday at an all-hands meeting with employees.
On Monday, Bloomberg News reported that Rivian is planning hundreds of layoffs, focusing on nonmanufacturing jobs, with the aim of an overall 5% reduction of its 14,000-person workforce.

A Rivian spokeswoman on Tuesday declined to comment beyond the information conveyed in the letter.
“We will always be focused on growth, however, Rivian is not immune to the current economic circumstances,” Mr. Scaringe said in the letter.
Rivian has expanded rapidly in the past year as it has worked to roll out its first all-electric models and start production at its factory in Illinois.
In November, it raised billions of dollars in new capital in one of the U.S.’s biggest public offerings in years, and it has tapped talent from a range of big-name companies, including EV rival Tesla Inc.
In recent months, Rivian has struggled to meet its production targets, cutting its 2022 forecast in half earlier in the year, and has raised prices on its debut models: the R1T pickup truck and R1S sport-utility vehicle.

It only takes an insightful read:
The exact material that gives mobile phones their protective armoury and high performance is the aforementioned YSZ, a ceramic in which the crystal structure of the commonly-used zirconium dioxide (or zirconia) is stabilized at room temperature and above by adding yttrium oxide.
to determine that this has NOTHING, and, repeat, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with zirconium based BMG's, an amophous glass.
A Ceramic, which this article FOCUSES on, has nothing to do with Lugee Li, Eontec, Yiantec, etc. who are focuses on Zirconium based BMG's.
But, it's nice to know that this will drive up the price of the zirconium component of Lugee's BMG's, which, should really help sales.
Those in the no, no, kow tow.
The likelihood of AAPL making a deal with Foxconn and Lordstown is 10 times the probability of LQMT ever making any revenue from AAPL.
For all of the LQMT investors who for years put their faith and trust in AAPL, let me just suggest that you are so caught up in LQMT APPLE that you are missing the real opportunity with the Lordstown Apple connection, and not only missing it, but BIG TIME.
The MIH platform of Foxconn will be sucked up by AAPL, for sure.
Good luck with your hopes and dreams with LL and TC.
I am banking on Cheng of Foxconn who is walzing with both AAPL and LMC.
The AAPL contract manufacturing relationship with Foxconn is the longest and most successful of any in all of history. It seems very improbable that AAPL would ever pass up the opportunity to utilize Foxconn's MIH platform.
Don't forget, LMC starts manufacturing, COMMERCIALLY, on July 18. AAPL, for sure is looking at this, FSR as well as Canoo.
Not sure if Lugee Li sees the big picture on the Apple Car built on the MIH platform, but, for sure, Dongju Chung don't.
Watch and weep.
Putting a series of pictures showing two ex-presidents who are no longer involved does NOT ADVANCE Ride's PRESENT CASE. So, let's move on!
Best to show a list of current OHIO politicians who are ACTIVELY supporting RIDE today and have them line up with HIGHTOWER.
We want to show WIN-WINNERS who are PRO-ACTIVE.
Where is RYAN today?
Where is Jim Jordan today? Haven't heard ONE WORD FROM HIM ( I don't care that he is not in the Lordstown district. He should be promoting OHIO JOBS.
Where is SHERROD BROWN?
Where is the other Senator from Ohio?
Not a PEEP from any of the Ohio government representatives.
Yes, Larry Denmark is over eighty now.
Quite simply, LQMT Valencia has no such expertise on hand, AT ALL.
All expertise is in CHINA at Eontech, Yiantec, and all the other tecs named after our Lugee Li.
If there are ever any consultant agreements, it sure as hell won't be with Chung, Bresnick and McHughes...Apple will go direct to source, Lugee Li.
End of discussion.
Simple, needed money for a down payment. Came sooner than I thought. Thanks!
The good news is that the hat is fully loaded! JB
Sorry, but Ming Kuo has not called it Liquidmetal.
If the three of them don't call it, it is pure bull sheet.
Not true. The trail behind me belies "cattle".
BFD
The light at the end of the tunnel is finally making its way through by way of thin, sure rays.
Superbad call, IMHO. Superbad
My bad, now in the sixes...new low of .0677...
Not Quite There is going broke, LOL!
Captain Mark Anderson, before he died, had an exclusive contract with LQMT to purchase Liquidmetal fishhooks. Believe me, sir, Liquidmetal has a habit of never going backwards to resurrect failed experiments of the past.
How many times investors on this board have asked why LQMT doesn't resurrect old contracts which actually produced sales. The answer is that LQMT has always been embarrassed to face old customers whom they screwed.
Never has an old product been brought back to life, even though, the "new and improved" version of Lugee's Liquidmetal should make the product far more profitable than those products of ten years ago.
No, you see, LQMT is always looking for the next customer, but obstinately forgetting about the old customers. This is precisely why LQMT has only a track record of LOSER. Why the hell would ANY SANE Company which believes in making a profit take a gamble on KNOWN LOSERS whose past is WELL DOCUMENTED.
Congratulations to those who NEVER QUITE MADE IT as LQMT is now in the SEVEN CENTS range, predicted by myself and many others of the RINSE, WASH, REPEAT record of SCAMMING INVESTORS.
I was the very first investor to call the STEIPPER-LUGEE LI transaction a SCAM on the first day it was announced.
None believed me at the time. NOW virtually all with a history here realize this.
More rumors are not necessary. I have a box full of rumors from the last 20 years, thanks, and I will be happy to share them with any poster here.
More facts about revenues and net earnings positive, however, are always welcome.
Come on, don't be shy. Put some bacon on the plate. Enough with the sizzle which always turns into pizzle.
Scrambled!
Thank you. Good luck to ya, Dewey.
This post is not to promote, but rather to inform RIDE shareholders of competition. In doing so, it is to make RIDE shareholders aware that RIDE can turn around and approach the alleged success of these two competitors.
These 2 Small Electric Vehicle Stocks Have Triple-Digit Upside Potential, Say Analysts
TipRanks
Sun, June 26, 2022 at 4:54 PM·7 min read
In this article:
XOS
-5.12%
LEV
-2.75%
Electric vehicles (EVs) have become the car sector’s fastest growing segment, more than doubling last year to reach 6.8 million vehicles globally. This gives EVs a market share greater than 8%, triple where it stood in 2019, before the COVID pandemic. The market has found support from political policy, but more importantly, from improvements in battery technology and manufacture that are slowly making EVs more competitive on price.
The upshot is, EV companies are presenting investors with plenty of opportunities going forward. Automobiles are an essential of modern life, and EVs represent a high-growth leading edge for the industry, and one whose pace of growth is accelerating.
Against this backdrop, we’ve used the TipRanks platform to look up the details on two EV stocks that offer investors a hat-trick opportunity: a Buy rating from the Street’s analysts, triple-digit upside for the coming year, and a cost of entry below $5 per share. Let’s take a deep dive in and look at each of them along with the analyst commentary.
Xos (XOS)
We’ll start with Xos, an EV maker that specializes in electric trucks. This is a turning into a particularly strong niche for EVs, as electric trucks can optimized for urban delivery routes, staying within a relatively short radius of their operating base and charging stations. It’s a mode of operation well-suited to ‘last mile’ delivery, and bypasses a major complaint that EVs are not capable of long-range ops. This is the environment that Xos has focused on.
Xos got its start in 2016, and is working on the design and manufacture of all-electric medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, powertrain systems for those vehicles, and the charging infrastructure to support them. The company boasts a proprietary battery system, dubbed X-Pack, that fits along with a modular chassis, also proprietary, called the X-Platform. The company describes itself as ‘building an electric truck ecosystem for today.’
The company has been public for less than one year, having hit the public markets, on the NASDAQ index, in August 2021 through a SPAC transaction. The business combo, with the NextGen Acquisition Corporation, brought some $216 million in new capital to Xos. The company’s stock started trading at $9.20 and has fallen 76% since then.
Like many early-stage EV makers, Xos has only recently started generating considerable revenue. For 1Q22, the company’s top line reached $7 million, against a net loss of $21.2 million. The company saw a major increase in pre-order, totaling more than 350 in the quarter, and made important deliveries to big-name customers like UniFirst and FedEx. The FedEx deliveries included 15 vehicles to five ground operators in the Southern California region, and Xos now boasts a total of 550 outstanding orders to that delivery company. While Xos has been bleeding funds, it still retains a solid cash position of $129.7 million.
For Northland analyst Donovan Schafer all of this adds up to an EV company that worth a second look.
“While the initial forecasts back in 2020 were very aggressive — calling for a ramp that would hit ~2,000 vehicles in 2022 and ~9,000 vehicles in 2023 — the scaled down numbers in our model suggest the stock is attractively priced at these levels,” Schafer noted.
In another point, and one that bodes well for Xos as it works to ramp up production, Schafer adds, “XOS makes its own chassis, which means it is not subject to some of the chassis supply constraints being faced by peers. The net result is XOS just needs access to sheet metal for bending into the C-beams for making its chassis. This gets around the issue of chip shortages, which has impacted some of XOS's peers.”
All in all, this makes XOS stock, in Schafer’s view, worth an Outperform (i.e. Buy) rating, while his $5 price target implies ~133% upside potential for the next 12 months. (To watch Schafer’s track record, click here)
XOS shares have 3 recent analyst reviews on record and they are all positive, to support a Strong Buy consensus rating. The shares are selling for $2.15 and the $7 average price target suggests an upside of ~226% from that level. (See XOS stock forecast on TipRanks)
Lion Electric Company (LEV)
The next stock, Lion Electric, also focuses on the commercial-duty facet of the EV market. Lion has a line-up of 7 all-electric school buses and urban transit buses, marketed along with medium- and heavy-duty electric commercial trucks. Lion doesn’t stop with vehicles, however; the company also offers parts and services, charging station infrastructure, and purchase financing. Taken together, this makes Canada-based Lion one of the largest EV companies in the North American market.
As a point of differentiation from its competitors, Lion offers its products as turnkey solutions for its customers, with package deals that include driver and technician training. This approach has been especially successful in the school bus market, where school districts typically handle their own bus fleet maintenance.
Early in May, Lion released its 1Q22 results and showed strong gains in several important metrics. Key among them was a massive year-over-year increase in vehicle deliveries, from 24 in the first quarter of 2021 to 84 in the recent report. This 3.5x increase shows that Lion is making strides in increasing its production capabilities. The strong deliveries powered year-over-year revenue growth from $6.2 million to $22.6 million. With the increase in the top line, Lion saw its gross loss decline, from $1.8 million in the year-ago quarter to $900K as of the end of 1Q22. Looking forward, Lion can boast an order book with 2,422 vehicles on it, worth some $600 million.
Also at the end of Q1, Lion reported a solid balance sheet. The company had $155.5 million in cash and liquid assets on hand, and a revolving credit facility available up to $200 million. In addition, the company can rely on Canadian Federal and Quebec Provincial government support to the amount of C$100 million.
Roth Capital analyst Craig Irwin notes several points that suggest mid- to long-term gains for Lion EV, but first among those is the company’s strong position to benefit from US government subsidies and contracts.
“The $5 billion in EV School Bus funding in the Infrastructure Bill should provide a material tailwind for market activity in 2H22, and we expect initial voucher awards to be announced as soon as October 2022. The 2022 funding disbursement of $500 million opened on Friday May 20th, and will include funding up to $375,000 per bus, covering as much as all the cost of a new EV School Bus in a special district, or $250,000 per bus for other areas. At a minimum these Federal subsidies should bring costs to parity versus conventional diesel buses, while all the benefits from 60% lower maintenance and 80% lower fuel costs accrue to buyers,” Irwin explained.
To this end, Irwin stakes a bullish position on Lion, with a Buy rating and a $13 price target that implies a 174% upside potential over the coming months. (To watch Irwin’s track record, click here)
So, that’s Roth Capital's view, let’s turn our attention now to rest of the Street: LEV's 3 Buys and 2 Holds coalesce into a Moderate Buy rating. The $9.50 average price target suggests a one-year gain of ~101% from the current share price of $4.73. (See LEV stock forecast at TipRanks)
Dongju Chung has failed to produce one contract that yields net positive income to LQMT. So instead of talking about a plurality of contracts, have the Kang-Steipper boy deliver just one.
Please flesh this statement out with the facts. Thank you very much.
