One doesn't get their MBA for sole academic purposes. The biggest gain from getting an MBA is the network you build while going back to school. Hard for you to know because the only "professional" network you have is ihub. Peasant.
The number of outstanding shares was far less. Not an "apples to apples" comparison.
It clearly explains the reasoning in the one paragraph 8-k.
As reported on a Form 4 filed on August 7, 2013 by Thomas Steipp, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), Mr. Steipp sold an aggregate of 400,000 shares of the common stock of the Company on August 5, 2013 pursuant to a trading plan that Mr. Steipp previously adopted under SEC Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Trading Plan”). Mr. Steipp adopted the Trading Plan on March 22, 2013 for the purpose of providing him with funds to satisfy certain tax liabilities as a result of the vesting on August 3, 2013 of 1,200,000 shares of Company restricted common stock held by Mr. Steipp. The restricted shares were granted to Mr. Steipp in 2010 under a previously disclosed Restricted Stock Award Agreement, dated August 3, 2010, between Mr. Steipp and the Company. The Trading Plan also provides for the future sale of 400,000 shares of Company common stock scheduled for August 4, 2014. No other sales are provided for in the Trading Plan, and as of the date of this Form 8-K, Mr. Steipp continues to have beneficial ownership of 7,210,893 shares of Company common stock.
Something is definitely happening with Apple. Theodore Waniuk, www.linkedin.com/pub/theodore-waniuk/1/b39/116/ has been working with Apple for almost 2 years. He previously worked at LQMT for 9 years. His name is on most of the recent patents. Timing makes since on his move.
For now. They may need (probably will) additional funding, which will result in further dilution.
What good is a patent if no one is using it? If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a noise? No. LQMT could have 10,000 patents, doesn't mean anything until it's used.
LQMT needs to get Alec Baldwin in there to teach them how to close a fricking deal. It's "ABC" not "ABP, Always Be Patenting"
You're an idiot.
if they were launching a new website, I highly doubt they'd do it during normal daytime hours. You typically make a change like that over night. Websites going down is never a good thing.
Understood, but even if it trades 10 times earnings, its a far stretch.
Do you really think this company could be worth $4.8 billion in 12 months from $50mil? This isn't the same as instagram bro. Lets be real.

This board is getting much better. Also, on a side note, I called and spoke with someone at Stanley Fastener and Shop Supply (they are located across the street from Visser in Denver) to confirm Cookiepants report. The gentleman I spoke with confirmed the uptick in activity. He had been there since before Visser moved in across the street and he said they've picked up. 18 wheelers coming in and out. Moderate activity. All good things. Just thought I'd pass along the additional reference.
you obviously haven't read the agreement. Apple has "perpetual" rights (that means forever) to you use Liquidmetal in the Consumer Electronics space. All the IP created during the agreement term is shared. Apple gets it for Consumer Electronics, LQMT gets it for all other industries. Apple gave us $20mil for the perpetual license. Basically LQMT and Apple part ways as it stands right now in Feb. Apple can produce Liquidmetal devices from now until the end of time, and LQMT won't see any rev. However, Apple spent alot more money in R&D then LQMT ever could, and the new IP is ours as much as theirs.
Please do your homework before class.
If this stock hits, I'm getting a liquidmetal license plate "Blue horseshoe loves LQMT" frame for my Aston Martin.
Please get off this board.
That's awesome amigo. Were you able to snap any pictures?
Thanks for doing this. Really looking forward to hear what's going on.
A wise manager once told me "the only thing we can count on is change". That is exactly what's happening with LQMT, change. This is a boom or bust last 5 months of the year. With 26+ or so prototypes in the hopper a couple are bound for production. I'm in sales and know with that many prospects seriously evaluating your product, the law of numbers are in your favor. With apple's large capital investment in development, LQMT has repeated the fruits of their labor. This is the calm before the storm. Like in Atlas Shrugged, it only takes one customer to change an industry.
My opinions are most definitely shared with many of you, but wanted to get it out there.
Keep in mind LMQT can make the iPhone waterproof. Something Samsung already has. This allows apple to keep competing. Even if its the iPhone 6, Rome wasn't built in a day. $1.5+ in a year.
No doubt 2013 will be the breakout year for LQMT. Through the licensing agreement with apple, LQMT will benefit from the hundreds of millions they've invested in the mass production advances. This was an awesome way for LQMT to fund their development without seeking direct financing. I hope everyone else can see this.
