As I read this board today, I realize many once pro LQMT investors have turned angry and bitter. A convincing no to the board is what they deserve for their lack of transparency and revenues. I do wonder what it will accomplish other than my own satisfaction of denying them as they have us.
Will they really just give themselves more raises as they threatened, even at the cost of the company itself?
think about that..........they said in writing they will be forced to give MORE MONEY TO THEMSELVES if we do not vote for them to have MORE STOCK OPTIONS after they have been getting raises that blow away our revenues for the whole company.
Well the answer is definitely YES!
If this is just a shell game with no pea as some have suggested, neither vote is in our best interest, yet either vote will work out in the managements savings account.
If these people are willing to take raises even if it jeopardizes the company itself, i believe they are capable of squeezing all the money out they can and walk away from a destroyed pile of engel machines and amorphous metal.
Im angry right now and hoping someone will show me a ray light behind this dark cloud.
Speaking of that, where has Gorgol been. Did someone break his keyboard?
It seems as if management concentrated and discussed with us possible price per share and how to achieve this half as much as their own over the top raises and "incentive plans", us shareholders could get on the same page as the lqmt leadership. Quite honestly this disgusts me. It feels like old England, when the king and those living in the castle had everything they could ever ask for while demanding more taxes and all the peasants outside of the gates contributed and perished because all funds were directed to the Kings lavish empire.
I am all for compensating leadership for returns, but right now and for some time long time shareholders are treading water in shark infested waters and the coastguard helicopter(LQMT) is hovering above yelling "If you sign over your investments to us we may be motived enough to pull some of you out of the water before the sharks take you down".
Show us some financial (PPS) rewards and then we'll be happy to vote large rewards for management. With our current dilution trend its obviously we've been rewarding them for too long and with none of the promised reward in PPS back in return. A 50% raise for Steipp last year??? And then threaten that if we don't approve their stock options they will have to give excessive raises to themselves that will hinder cash on hand and PPS and the company itself! GET REAL!!! Thats what your already doing!
Ive been invest for a couple of years now with great optimism for LQMT. The only hiccup that keeps showing itself is extreme management greed. Im worried this is keeping their eye off the ball of building a truly amazing company that reward its invested stockholders.
Watts, from what you say this is the same song and dance you've been through multiple times. I hope its not, but it is seemingly so.
Use the phone number in the link and call in at the appropriate time somebody will take your name and you will be able to listen to the conference call
Okay I have a quick conspiracy theory....we all know that Apple has a perpetual license agreement with liquid metal so liquid metal cannot be making ce products for Samsung cell phones. What if Vissor, who has a license to use liquid metal, is the one making a new case for Samsung and now Vissor sold off 6 million shares of its stock on Monday knowing it was going to go down when The news comes out liquid metal is not make Samsung cell phone cases, but they are. I know thats way out there, but just trying to think from all angles.....because obviously ther is manipulation going on here. I just dont know what the end game is for liquidmetal pps yet.
I was hoping this was not a pump and dump. but unfortunately it doesn't look good today. we are not going to see anything lasting in the pps happen until there is some concrete real news. The speculation articles are just a tool to bounce around day trading it seems. So management let's get some contracts and revenues and send this price per share one direction...up!
We really need some concrete news with liquidmetal! this board is drying up either with fantasies, negativeness, or just plain silence. It is time for some substance let's get liquidmetal moving management
With the Swatch exclusive contract with liquidmetal up in March , it may be a strategic move for Apple to wait until then to announce a watch that has liquidmetal in it . Because then if liquidmetal did not resign with Swatch's exclusive watch contract (as possibly whispered on the ear by Apple), it would not be a conflict of interest for Apple to be using any amorphous metal that may be linked to crucible patents , which would be linked to liquidmetal. Kind of a long shot, but it is a possibility on why they are waiting so long to release the watch. Timing is everything and I am hopeful that our time may be coming.
Not any stellar news, just a interesting read on this authors perspective since both of these companies have an exclusive contract with LQMT.

Just a quick question.....you keep saying we only have an order for 500 knives. Is this documented somewhere? I know they said they were going to number the first 500 produced. Many things are numbered for collector items in the future, but does not mean that all items produced past a certain number will continue to get there own number, hence moving into mass production. Mabye I'm wrong but I never saw a quantity commitment. Thanks...good luck longs
Hopefully there are many good things in the works and they will be revealed sooner than later. The secrecy is just so annoying!
Looking at most posters reaction, i realize many do not trust this management to lead us to rising pps. I am also very frustrated with the results vs. the expectations the last year and a half. With that being said, it does seem they are indeed trying hard to make something happen as of late. Even though it is slow going, it is forward. Since October.....center of excellence with an engel machine, first hard contract to be developed there, and now another machine to grow production. I believe Hauck has us on a path to success. Patience, and hopefully we will get there. Good luck longs!
Hey Watts,
How many shares do you currently own. I thought you had a lot. I'm just trying to understand why you continue to hold so many shares, yet constantly make negative comments about lqmt going to a nickel, never going anywhere, and so forth. I understand that a lot of the other posts on this board are so overly positive, that its over the top unrealistic, and you may be trying to defuse that hype. Im not trying to be disrespectful, but your actions and your commentary are very contradictory, which devalues your conviction of lqmt failure and rises confusion in your belief of the future stock pps. Just trying to understand, thanks.
Just getting ready for the seahawks to win today against greenbay and head to the superbowl again!
And a thought came to me.....liquidmetal superbowl rings! Why not. Lol! Have a great dat. Go Hawks!
Hey watts where did you pre order the knife from....on there website or did you call them direct?...the more people that pre order one the higher the projected sales they will have. Thanks
I have been in lqmt for almost two years. I'm at a crossroads as whether to cut bait and move on or hold out a little longer for the possible explosion. I know we have alot of pumpers and dooms sayers posting here, but like me, I believe there are alot of investers that follow this board but rarely if ever post here. So my question is to them. What do you believe the chances are that lqmt could hit $1 per share in this year and your thought behind it. I'll go first....
The first contract looks weak, but at least it is progress. I think Hauck is working hard on more bigger ones to follow.
I believe the management is trying to make this a success, I mean why wouldn't they have plenty to gain as well as any investor and be working hard to achieve that type of success.
Id like to believe it will hit $1and think it is possible although I am doubtful it will stay that high for long if it explodes due to an apple usage, the pps would rocket up on news and then crash on the fact no revenues for lqmt.
Hopefully we will see many great contracts, time will tell.
Just thinking out loud, not judging anyones thoughts or opinions, and would love to here from some of the more private board members.
Good luck all and thanks for listening
Its true their agreement contract end date is in February, if you read the filing it also has a clause that the contact will automatically renew for another year if neither party ends it in writing before the contract end date. I don't think you will see any change at all.
The reason they want to be available and well equipped with the CNC machine? My guess is even though they are hanging their hat on the new injected mold Engel machine, there may be parts or procedures in place that work better and differently with the CNC. From what i understand, Visser and LQMT are joint on possible Lockhead Martin canard contracts and prototypes were produced with CNC machines. Once the 2 companies are through with prior commitments with one another, LQMT WANTS TO BE JUST AS VIABLE OF A CHOICE that can deliver the exact same results and more to lockhead or other interested parties. Just a thought for everyone to dissect.
Lqmt millionaire eh....thats both funny and really upsetting all at the same time. Back to the coal mines!
If they were I imagine the stock price would be much higher
Hello is anyone there....do i have to take gorgol's place and single handedly pump this stock to $1 all by myself. Geez!! Just kidding and trying to lighten up the silence. Good luck on getting out alive longs!
Well, is it time to buy more or is it time to get out? So much is not revealed by lqmt. This roller coaster is getting ridiculous. I feel i cant sell now...im hoping to get a bump after the new year. Is anyone still at this board....dang, this feels like the twilight zone..lol.
Tick tock..tick tock...the silence is screaming for answers from this company we are funding
5 press releases in the first 9 days in October. As soon as the event was over at the center of excellence, we don't here a thing. Throw us a freaking bone already. With the loud cry of this silence our pps is dwindling with very little volume. Unfortunately, I expected so much more. Let quit effing around and execute a plan to see revenues to give this pig some wings. PLEASE!!
Its not wierd. Much of the value on lqmt was overinflated due to people who bought the stock on the assumption that appl would use it in the iphone 6. That money is now bleeding out. The only way to get lqmt to pop now is to get some revenue from contracts. Now make that happen management!
I am pondering what happened to gtat today and trying to see how this tragedy relates to my holdings in lqmt. First of all i feel very bad for all the gtat stockholders, nobody should suffer those kind of losses in hours.
I realize that there are major differences in the two companies relation to apple. It makes me wonder if apple cutting out the loan to gtat was a power play to push the value of the company low enough to eventually buy them out and have full control of sapphire glass. Everyone was riding on apple to make their company successful. Only time will tell.
Alot of people have that same mentality about lqmt, but Steipp has made it very clear time and again that we will get zero royalties from apple. Maybe this fact will keep us out of that big apple shadow that could destroy a company on a single business decision.
I hope that our management is getting some serious contracts lined up and signed this year so we can stand on our own merits. We need this soon before the simple apple and gtat association from speculation articles keeps eroding our pps. I am long but agree with watts...no more press worthless pr articles unless they confirm a contract. Good luck all
I also thought yesterdays CC was excellent. It really seems this time they do have their ducks in a row. Once the technology is accepted by major customers it will pay off big. From a credibility standpoint lqmt is looking better then it ever has. For one Hauke knows his target customers and has their respect. Second having the Engel machine in a working visual viewpoint for its customers to see is a huge selling point that instantly will establish more trust in lqmt abilities to produce amazing products. Third, like it or not, having that extra 30 million loan in their back pocket make lqmt customers feel they are dealing with a more stable, reputable company. Right know it's about gaining paying customers and lqmt seems to be finally doing a lot of things right in getting to the next level.
Time will tell, but I'm hoping they can pull all this off. Good luck longs
I forecast today will close at 27.8 then up everyday until Tuesday and then only apples conference will tell what happens just having fun with a guess
Go to the liquidmetal home page, click on process at the top of the page, click on molding (the second choice). That will take you to the engel machine page. Click The highlighted Engel in the text and that will direct link you to the engel liquidmetal site.
Friday did lift the spirits of us longs. i think If Tim Cook does unveil the I watch on Tuesday, it wont be just the watch that is the big news.
Apple has been going on and on about what a big year this year is going to be for them and what an impact their products are going to be on us all.
All the Steve jobs followers have been missing his chorizma and his famous "one more thing" presentations.
I predict the one thing that will blow away the competition for the iwatch will go something like this. "So thats the new iwatch from start to end......oh by the way one last thing.....the battery life will last 7 to 10 days." If they pull that off apple will truly be on top again. I just hope somewhere in their they mention liquid metal is used on it.
Im just thinking out loud and trying to guess the agenda this week.
Good luck all,
I dont know how new the change is, but i just noticed today the liquidmetal website is updated. It has a much more detailed step by step overview of how they will bring a clients parts to production, including a link to the engel machine for liquidmetal website. Looks like they are ready to focus on selling now that visser is out of the picture. I think alot is in place and they have been dragging their feet so any big contracts and revenue from them would not be included in the terms of the arbitration. Lets get this show on the road!
This is what we have been waiting for. The arbitration to be done so any possible customers know exactly how there contract is going to be handeled and by whom. I believe we will see some contracts that may have been waiting at bay announced very quickly. Hauke is going to get this sales train rollin now.
Hey watts your outlook this weekend seemed way too rosy are you sure you're not gorgol in disguise lol I do believe things are lining up for liquid metal for something very positive to come on the horizon but then again I may just be lingering in the Rose Garden myself
Tomorrow we hit $2.50 on big contract news...to the moon!
Your right Gorgol...that was fun!!
If we're going to dream and live in Disneyland, let do it right.
Well I for one hope you are wrong with the nickel theory and we get some good news with a substantial contract. Lord knows us longs could use some positive reinforcement here. A big part of my thinking doesn't believe apple will be able to have a liquid metal phone by iPhone 6, but another part keeps thinking about the " hidden" Engel site that promotes the liquidmetal engel machine. The only reason I see that Hauck and Engel would not put that sales pitch information easily accessible on Engels site is from higher orders. So, what has Apple promised Steipp? Hush money to the directors personally? Contract money for the company to increase pps? Liquid metal name advertisement on the iPhone when it is used to mainstream the brand of the company? Whatever it is, I sure hope it is a win-win outcome and not an insider win, shareholder "thanks for playing but your screwed" outcome. If Apple is going to pay off for us, it needs to happen soon. If not, these guys need to get selling and selling fast. Just venting...thanks for listening.
Hey watts
Just curious.... if you truly believe we are going to a nickel, are you selling your 900000 shares on Monday so you can buy them back much cheaper? I'm not trying to be a smartass, I just want to see how true your convictions are to that statement. Ive got some shares too and getting very tired of managements manipulation.
I don't know something really weird is going on why would you have that Engel - liquid metal website up but you have to have the magic link to view it......that's not pushing for sales. I just don't get the end game here.
We definitely need some news quickly to reverse the bleeding....this manipulation is very aggravating.
Hey, I'm going to see NOAH this weekend, it looks really good......I went to captain America today with my kids...it was great!
On another note, even with the struggling pps, I have a really strong feeling things with lqmt are ready to explode and when pandoras box opens pps is going to rise very quickly. Good luck longs!
Well it is great to see that Engels website was not hacked and tampered with, eh watts....we have a lot of quick to strike and make assumptions posts lately and it is putting a lot of fear in the air. When things eventually get rolling this snowball is going to get big. Good luck longs
