That isn't what i meant, but with the track record of our management it is possible.
I am hoping for the best with all the buzz of commercialization in the right circles, but also realize there are a lot of pitfalls....the biggest being lqmt managements agenda with our investment dollars.
I hate being in a position of HOPE, but that is the corner many of us are painted in.
Well, the excitement generated from the positive exposure at the engel event certainly turned sour quickly as the PPS drifted lower. I think many expected a medical contract announcement at the event and when that did not happen it affected the share price negatively.
All in all , it seems that Engel is really supporting liquidmetal and its machine strongly. I think this support and exposure will get the ball rolling and contracts will be coming in.
Please LQMT management, keep your fingers out of the cash pot until we get rolling! Thats where our big issue lies.
It is very frustrating watching the pps go sideways or lower while we have invested and waited so long, i think we are close though! Hang in there longs!
I think everyone on this board would like to see the price per share go over two dollars. But I will not believe it until I see it. It seems the more good news we seem to be getting the lower the price per share goes.without indication of some big revenues coming and we are kind of stuck. We desperately need some major contract or contracts soon.only time will tell.
I don't think whether or not the knife is available for purchase is something to worry about. I would see no reason for miltner Adams to post on their website that they are going to unveil it at the blade show and then not follow through. It would make no sense to tarnish your reputation. I think the big question is when somebody in the business reviews the knife what the outcome of that will be. That is where your success is going to lie
My thought on the Engel medical show is if Liquidmetal has any medical contracts on the hook, just before or at this event would be the perfect Time to announce it while the entire medical world is watching. I am hopeful that this will happen. Remember just because they announce a contract doesn't mean that they will get the revenues from it in 2015.
We need this or something similar to occur. We are running out of time and opportunities to sAve this company and pur investments.
Who thinks this may happen?...thoughts.....
Why do they even put out an article with no new news or new findings? Just a rehash of old articles. They dont even report the current quarters numbers, they reported numbers from two quarters ago. What a crock.
I agree, the true measure of the success of the knife will be after the blade show when people see it and it gets to be reviewed by the people in the knife business. They have the mold in place, so if there is a large demand they will go to work at manufacturing more for orders.
Apple doesn't market their next iPhone until its perfect and ready for sale.
As for the Engel show, I hope they do present it with some sort of medical contract to come to prime time with a bang.
I know Steipp said no break even revenues in 2015, but that doesn't mean they won't secure a contract in 2015 that guarantees a future revenue stream.
Our knife, if successful, will provide proof of production and proof of product. If we get one or two good contracts this summer, we may get a good bump in pps on forward looking predictions.
Only time will tell, but our time has come.
I would guess costs or possibly time. They would have had to make another mold for it and they definitely wanted it ready for the biggest knife show of the year. It looks like they barely finished it in time as it is.
Now you are talking about companies stealing ip. Thats a whole different ballgame then legal binding transactions. Stealing ip will not give lqmt stockholders any pps relief.
I have to agree with watts on this. If you buy a company you must adhere to the contracts that exist within the company. There is no way that apple and its lawyers didn't write that perfectly clear in their contract arrangement. They could sell this company a hundred times and without apples consent the new owner time and again would have no rights to consumer electronics, period.
Number 10...........
To gain the opportunity to chum up to Tony Chung to gain financial wisdom for my retirement funds.
During the conference call, steip said that Paul hauwk and all of the salespeople will not get paid until they get revenues from sold products. Do you really think that Paul is not getting paid anything right now? if that is the case and he must really think he can make a successful go of Liquidmetal. To leave his old job where he was doing quite well to go to this but no pay unless you can make something happen is a good sign for us.
If your right about a takeover, do you really think we will get much of a premium?
Pps for lqmt certainly has been much more disappointing than i had believed it would by now. Ive got a little more time im willing to wait, but im thinking more and more this is just a shell vehicle for executives to make a really good living. Good god i hope im wrong!
New format on lqmt website. Also has started a testimonial page. Miltner adams wrote his. Lqmt is working to get their shit together and start building their reputation to attract future contracts. It sure looks like they are moving in the right direction. Its clear Paul Hauck is navigating this ship. Lets get this snowball rolling!
Hey, I just got back from The Avengers (great movie!). I noticed all the robots in the movie had a special shine to them. Im sure they were ALL made of liquidmetal! Just wait till Tuesday when the revenues from this secret contract from MARVEL are revealed to us on the conference call! Im calling for a high of $38.29 on our PPS by midday Wednesday!
Dont offer unless you mean it! If you get that boat im taking you up on your offer and showing up with my wife for a vacation cruise...lol
By the way,
Does anyone know when lqmt has to let the stockholders know the results of the proxy vote by?
The biggest positive indicator that i see right now is the fact that liquidmetal and its engel machine are bring promoted front and center on the home page of engel's worldwide website. The event in June will have a fully working engel machine making liquidmetal parts and is being promoted worldwide to come see it work.
Im as frustrated as many with the cloak and dagger routine and lack of transparency as to the future success of lqmt and its pps.
It is possible that engel has some faith in its success, or why get behind it in this manner with their reputation on the line.
Lqmt Management have to produce results quickly, time is getting short! We'll see!
Good luck to the longs!
Good real press like that is what we need to attract some possible customers. Very positive!!
I knew LQMT was in Detroit, but where did you see that they had an Engel machine there???? Did I miss something?
Well at this point it doesn't look like Apple is going to use lqmt for their watch, I really thought they would. With all the new metals they used for their watch unveiling and all. I'll hope for APPLE to use lqmt in a battery usage.
We could also use some constructive news at the lqmt meeting on the 23rd.
All these knowingly predictions of pps high and low seem to be just thrown out to start arguments. Eagle have you sold all your shares so you can buy them when it goes below .10 since it wont be long till .10 looks good?
The link you provided named three companies selected for further testing this, but none are lqmt....if our hope is not even in the running whats your point?
The more i think about the history of deceptive practices by management, the more i think i need to sell my shares and move on. Looking at history they will pump the pps up when they choose to only to watch it drop like a rock after they take the over inflated temporary profits with no long term appreciation, just depreciation.
Iv already voted my shares no to everything, but cant help but think i may have made a mistake. If i wanted to make them get what deserve, i did the right thing. If i want to get out of the stock, then i made the wrong move. if they got all their stock options, there is no doubt in my mind they would pull the pumping pr's game again and i could get out at a higher price when it temporarily goes up.
I believe if they do not get their stock options, they will suppress their pumping press releases until they can figure a way to get the stock options and profit more.
I hate to think this way, but there is definitely an established pattern for over 10 years that cannot be ignored.
Please management, prove me wrong!
Last weekend you told us to ENJOY the massive buying this last week.....never happened....went lower....now tonight you tell is its going up now......why the same guess every post.....when you only say the same thing over and over you lose credibility. Of course you'll be right once in a while, but get real
Watts,
Thank you for all your due diligent historical knowledge of this stock since the beginning. I never saw that kang video before and all the links are sobering. This sure gives us a taste of the journey you have been on and the possible outcome of many here.....depressing. I am in this thing and looking for a silver lining of possibilities for the future. I know you are still invested and wonder your thought process on why. What positives do you see possible that keeps you from walking away with something now? I know the obvious possibilities that we all talk about on this board, but rosy skies seem to be a theme painted over and over by management. As the longest holding invester in lqmt i know, i want to know why your gut is telling you to hang on.
What are you talking about!! Im still trying to ENJOY the massive buying you called for. Call for facts, not guesses.
Sandy, you don't know how much i hope that you are right! Im just getting tired of seeing all these positives as the stock price continues to drop. And to see the continuing dilution to our share count as management keeps increasing their salaries way beyond reason. Believe me, no one wants to see $1.00 or more a share more then i. Just getting tired of getting kicked in the nutz!
I hope your gut is wrong, but have to admit i am feeling it too...
Is tomorrow the day for the massive buying?????
Ive heard the rumors of apple having secret meetings with tesla over tesla's giga plant and making secret batteries. I know that the company Ambri is backed by bill gates and tesla. Ambri use to be named the liquid metal battery company and is involved with Tesla in car and home battery projects. There is a lot of rumors that fly over intentional and accidental confusion over which company does what between ambri and liquidmetal.
Anyone have any speculation if apple may be teaming up and offering any liquidmetal patents up to help tesla and its battery succeed.
Whether this is an amorphos metal race, or a collaboration of technical skills and patents may change how quick this technology escalates.
Tesla has a huge announcement it is unavailing at the end of the month ...more cloak and dagger....
I don't think they are working together, but would like to see what other here think about the possibility.
Why massive buying? Did i miss something? I feel like the pps isn't going to move much til after the compensation vote on the 23rd.
I appreciate any dd that is shared here. Each one of us here saw something or investigated lqmt prior to our first buy. Whether what each individual uncovered was facts, hopes , lies, dreams, or mere speculation was unique for each of us. There is absolutely no doubt that any long term buyer of a penny stock such as lqmt is hard core dreamer. I am still a dreamer on contracts, apple usage, its disruptive emergence in the marketplace, and simply surprise factor. My factual point of view is pulling me towards being worried about mismanagement when it comes to capital control and personal greed with little regard for shareholders. Also, past actions and promises of contracts and revenue coming in months that never materialized is a legitimate concern. I also wonder if management even believes that this stock is going to skyrocket by the lack of buying shares with their own money.
I definitely hope my dreaming side is correct on this one.
Time is the only thing will offer 100%proof for anyones sure shot opinion.
Good luck to all longs
Lets do some math!
LQMT PPS is hovering just around its 2 year low.
+
Steipp claims in the conference call that more has been accomplished at LQMT this year then any year in his tenure with a long checklist of accomplishments, but didn't mention stock price at all (isnt the stock price the sole reason investors are here at all?......and not to even mention stock price movements at an INVESTOR conference call is crazy.
+
Steipp quickly unveils a compensation plan that will line all managements pockets while diluting the stock price even further.
=
No respect or consideration for us stockholders and our contributed investments entrusted to this leadership.
I am pretty sure that their incentive plan is not going to pass. I mean, since it didn't pass last October and there is 10 times the disgusted anger vibe about managements premature self entitlements on this board now then there was then.
The question is what they are going to do when it doesn't pass. Gouge into free cash and screw the budget to get what they want while spiting the shareholders that have been footing the bills and hindering the company itself?
How they handle the rejection and whether they react in a manner that puts the success of this company rather then the success of them being overpaid before the company can afford it will be quite telling.
I just hope the will just accept it and realize they just need to get back to work and earn their compensation and if they desire more stock, invest some of their own money into lqmt as the rest of us have.
I feel like we are dealing with bratty rich kids that are going to hold their breath and break things until they get what they want.
GET BACK TO WORK AND MAKE SOME REVENUES TO SPEAK OF ALREADY!
Well it is true in the last conference call every single question directed to Steipp about revenues, contract terms, forcasts, HOW MANY ENGEL MACHINES there were, Apple....... anything that was relevant to somebody who wanted to be invested into the company, he said he couldn't or wouldn't comment on.
Stockholders get No revenues, no stock price, no information, NO RESPECT!!
But in the words of our Enron like Thomas Steipp, "as you can see, we had the most accomplished year at LQMT since my tenure...I took a raise, but now give me more before we milk this company dry and sink this ship."
If this is not a scam, then it is not the time for management to take more, not with the given track record. The balls in management's court.....PRODUCE, DONT BE GREEDY and get us on your side!!
THE ONLY THING I WOULD HAVE BEEN OK WITH WAS NOT TALKING ABOUT APPLE, but the rest....Throw us a friggen bone!!
According to the proxy the "COMPENSATION BOARD" is headed by Richard Sevcik and consist of Gillis and Howard-Anderson. We should direct efforts to vote all three of these off the board of directors to emphasize our disapproval as shareholders of their effed up employee incentive plan.
Just a question. What does everyone think this give me shares or else proxy will do to short term PPS. Are they driving it down again to secure more cheap shares and shake more losses out of us? This greedy game is getting old.
Sounds very lucrative! Maybe we could go as a team hire
