I sent in another cashiers check to the broker. In some ways I'm sorry I sold it all, but I was making some
stupid decisions....including signing on to a roof replacement with a roofer that came to my door..
if I told you the agreement I signed, you'd think I was a total idiot...Now I know how people can get taken advantage if their mind is preoccupied with significant other things...Luckily I got out of the contract.
So around the same time I decided to sell. I could not take the doubts any longer. It was getting scary to me. My worries about my medical issues greatly contributed. I got over those...to a great degree.
I just had to learn to accept the situation no matter where it leads. I'll make decisions as I go along.
We can all make very bad decisions on bad days.
Now I have LQMT to watch and another I accidentally bumped into....just came out from an off shoot from BIDU...as an IPO. Possibly a CHINA NETFLIX, in face is now making agreements with NFLX and their fan base is growing fast. I thought I'd throw this in, not to pump another stock. But hey, it seems a very unusual situation... IQ symbol.
BY selling LQMT I lost over a years holding which lost my Long Term Capital Gains benefit which is very significant. But as I said before these past 6 years, I have changed, and we all have changed...that's what life does...and priorities change. Would I still get a HUGE RV if LQMT hit $2? I tell myself "no",
but then I imagine having that amount of funds...and a little voice says.."Oh yes you would."
I thought I'd stop in. i see people are divulging their share amount. I hope that will become financial bragging rights...
so I thought I'd also declare...
I did say that I sold all my shares...well, that's not exactly right...I sold 75 Million shares....
I have another 75 Million that I'm keeping in trust fund for my cat. I promised never to touch it.
I figure if I pass on, its going to take 75 Million shares for someone to agree to provide her a good home,
if they find out how manipulative she is. I think she's an alien in disguise...just to spy on humans.
So that's the reason. I'm a "smarty pants".
Good Morning Everyone.
Craziness in the world. I traveled a lot during work, and glad I did. Now I just want to stay close to home,
meaning Florida. I'll explore the tropics.
LQMT posts are different because of Li, but also, the same because of the dark we are in.
I guess we could Call LQMT a China Company in many ways.
I found another China company yesterday just by chance, that is interesting. IQ So I thought I'd share, just for the interest of it.
Good Luck.
Well, the people I''m putting in my Will to get my stock will be happy.
: - (
Good grief...amazing...and those cameras...
If I go back to a smart phone, I'll have to take a class...I am so far behind in the technology.
"SMART PHONE CLASS FOR DUMMIES...SIGN UP SOON...SLOTS GOING FAST"
Well, no. I want all our dreams to come true. But we have seen the Bond pump and dump. Should be
no surprise.
That's why I have put my buy in at a higher price so I don't get sucked into these false take offs.
There will be plenty of time to jump in on good news, if one gives up the idea of wanting to be
at the very beginning of a big run up. I'm looking at somewhere over 30 cents. I no longer have
the Orange Lamborghini on my must list.
There are a lot of YOuTube videos of hot dog owners of Lamborghinis showing off and hitting the gas
too hard and losing total control and destroying the car. I love watching them.
"One interesting prospect in focusing on smaller displays is that Foxconn could conceivably move on to OLED panels and bid for American-made iPhone screens."
Could the above indicate that the FoxConn plant in Wisconsin will be making IPHONES??
And other APPLE small panel items??
Could this be good news??
Yes. you are right. I asked myself the same thing..."Oh yes, I sold, so by all means LQMT, now is the time to really take off. But we've had spikes at the end of some days for no reason. Maybe now there is a reason. I have a buy in point...and I'm going to try and stick to it.
Funds at the ready. But I have enjoyed being separated from the stock. Its an emotional vacation.
I enjoyed working in the front yard today, until I opened the gate to the back yard and there, curled up, was another HUGE black snake...they call them racers, but they can get "large" and fat, and even though harmless, its a wee bit unnerving.
Well, I'm not a trader. So won't look for a "pop". I need something that will show a good future.
The Tire Pressure gage would be good...even testing it or something..I wouldn't jump in on any rumors of APPLE. I don't want to scare anyone....its just I've changed in regards to needing something more specific. I figure if LQMT is going to be HUGE as we used to say, I'm no longer looking for the 10 bagger at this stage....I'm not frightened about missing part of a take off. I just want to be a little more sure that there is a take off.
I think my decision to sell had more to do with how much I've changed in the last six years. The Risk/Reward changes. And then Li came, and there was a better vision of the future. The Building and the machines and the money. So, that kept me in. We expected more machines to come in. An announcement perhaps that the power to the building was done. I'm not sure if that's happened.
Then there was the medical, Tesla, tire pressure gages,...and phones. But now, nothing. The stock has remained propped up. That's amazing. Then the shock of some medical issues. That makes on re evaluate things. So with that the risk I had in was too great. If it pops to over 30 cents on news,
I can quickly jump in with no regrets. If it goes to $1, I can't see it happening in one day. To miss part of a run is no longer important....
My 2 cents today.
I'm now on the sidelines as I have declared. I see much frustration here, and rightly so.
Not wanting to scare anyone, but, on the weekend I listened to a business show and a discussion on China. How even though China has entrepreneurs, very successful, like Li, they all work for the China Government as well as for themselves. Examples were given about Chinas stealing of IP, and buying small high tech us companies just for the technology. And if the China government wants a China company to make agreements with a US company so CHINA can get control of even more IP,
and Tech, that company will do it. And then China will use the technology in both commercial use
and Military use in China...and put it in products to sell to other countries. Our current President
wants to go after China for such practices, because it becomes a matter of US companies developing technology and China stealing it and developing it with huge government backing.
We speak of Li as an independent entity, a self made Billionaire. Well, self made has a different definition in China.
I am at the ready to buy in..again. But I didn't like our continual "in the dark" status. It would help if we had something going with the California building. Maybe recent posts indicate it is.
Just be careful. If there is huge news you will have time to jump in or that's what I'm telling myself.
I have to deal with decades of "almost made it"...in the stock market. I know why I fumbled. I adjust.
I hate the idea, but I adjust...I have no choice. And maybe such horrendous mistakes took me down a better road.
Good Luck as usual, but don't turn a blind eye to anything that could be staring you in the face, just because you want to hit it big.
lol. Thank you. I was wondering if I'd lose the honor. I do like the medal that comes with it.
Its quite beautiful, and sometimes I pretend its made from Liquid Metal.
I will be on the sidelines ready to POUNCE.....when any news comes that indicates a great future
for the company.
I may not make the Million I always wanted, or all the dreams I thought I wanted, but I have gained recently, a serenity of where I am. I've been in this house 27 years and I still love it.
The common areas of the development, now huge trees and palms, massive amount of Crepe Myrtles,
flower beds. And they keep doing more. And each time my mom and I would enter from an outing
I'd ask her "can you believe we get to live here?" She would indicate "no"...and I still feel the same way.
So while I dreamed of goals and accomplishments that never happened, I wound up in a quite marvelous place and I can't see me being anywhere else.
So maybe we can all take such accounting and count some blessings.
BUT...a MILLION in the bank would be icing on the cake...I won't deny that.
I do hope we hear something soon. So I can hit the buy button.
Hello. I know.."what back so soon?" I want to thank you all for the wonderful posts of understanding.
They go right to the heart. Eyes got a little moist I must admit.
Today I hung a pendant ceiling light to hang over the kitchen table. The other one was looking bad.
And I'm not used to doing such things. Wire Cutter, wire stripper, weaving the two electrical wires through an ancient looking chain, measuring, making a mistake now and then and figuring how to correct it. And its done and the light works. And I knew it was time for a "manly man" dance around the kitchen.
and me pointing to the hanging light...saying..."YES I DID THIS>..YUP< IT WAS ME" a good day.
About LQMT. I thought I needed to explain because it wasn't just my medical situation that caused me to sell, although it helped. I saw how much I had in, and the silence again. I know its Li, but its still silence.
Way back six years ago, I would, with others, chastise some for doing the "sitting on the sidelines" until something more was divulged. "Oh, but you'll miss the big uptick" I would say. "the big move". Well, now I'm one of those I chastised. I thought HUGE events were coming right around the corner. "Look at those bouncing metal balls..how could this not be a winner." Those were the Steipp years. This week I sold all and pulled some money back to the bank, but I left some in the brokers account...just in case HUGE news hits. I think with this many shares, a severe spike won't happen...not like it would if there were much fewer shares and
everyone scrambling to buy them. Now there are close to one million shares. If GREAT NEWS hits that assures me of a great future with LQMT, and the stock starts up, I can jump in. So I miss some of the uptick...or gradual rise...people will be buying and selling all along the way. There will be time to grab a stake in it all, IF the news is big enough and we all seem to be waiting for such big news. So that's my
new outlook. Not to make a killing, but to catch a huge wave if it happens, but with less funds risked.
So I wanted everyone to know I didn't set my hair on fire and sell because of my personal situation...it helped wake me up a little. I didn't want to wake up and find a horror story when I logged on. I need
a little more assurance to get back in. And here I'm one of those that mocked those
that were doing the same thing I am now.
Good luck you wonderful people.
GORGOL.
Dear LQMT IHUB friends.
If you want to know where the volume came from today, it was me. Selling. Nothing to do with the future
of LQMT. I got a 4K blood test result and it wasn't good. I go for Biopsies next month. My life has changed, I'm no longer invulnerable. But also my goals in life have changed. My needs. I'm starting to
develop a Will. I never had one, but its time. I"ve been foolish to wait so long considering I have a house paid in full.
I spent decades with a dream of wealth and where that wealth could take me. But I wound up in a wonderful place without the wealth. Its all quite amazing. With these new health issues, I realize
how precious time is. And I don't want to spend it worrying or watching a stock. I want to do some upgrades to my house so I can enjoy them. There are several alternative roads to my medical issues.
I'll hear more about them, so its not "the end" for me, but it woke me up to put some dreams away so I can enjoy others.
If good news finally comes out where I can see a long future in LQMT, then I can always buy shares.
I don't have to get in at the bottom. Thank goodness I didn't sell at 6 cents a share.
The time spent here chatting with everyone the last six years, helped me deal with the loss of a loved one. It helped keep my mind occupied on the future. Now with some heath issues of my own,
I want my funds secure...so I can enjoy what time I have left. And that's not based on what I'm facing now. Its just a general statement, that no one knows how much time they have. I spent decades
in self destructive trading, as if subconsciously I wanted to lose, not win. Many in vegas have that issue.
But I reached a point, thank goodness, where life is sweet just as it is, and I'm blessed. It just took me awhile to accept it. The reasons to become more wealthy are no longer a priority. For the first time in decades, I'll be able to relax..tell myself I did okay and I don't need great wealth to prove anything to myself. I'm glad I lived long enough to reach this point.
Good Luck to all my friends here. I'll be watching....
Gorgol.
Well, we have gone from 6 cents to 24 cents...400% if one was lucky to get at the bottom.
And with LQMT, the idea of "BIG WINNER" can mean many different PPS levels to us all.
Yes, I was always aware of these "rules" to success, but my problem, like many others have...
was the excitement of trading whether any money was made or not... it was all about the trade....
and it affects a lot more investors than we imagine.
Hmmm...I guess I did offend someone with my heavenly analogy.
we're supposed to stick to LQMT subject matter only, except we're at that place again where
no one knows what the hell is going on. Or that's where it seems to me. Lots of DD but heavy fog.
I did sell more shares, because like we all should be doing....re evaluating goals for our life, which should
reflect in our investing decisions. This time I won't be buying back in. I'm six years older. things change.
I've become more content in the way things are...don't know if that's good or bad. But I'm happy being
around home and around the local area. But its STILL 2018...I just needed to secure more funds...
I'm at an age where the risk is too great considering my age. One dollar would be wonderful.
Li...GET THIS TRAIN MOVING...PLEASE.
Have we fallen behind the technology curve? Is the future of us investors a wasteland of broken dreams?
Have we focused too much on the future we wanted rather than the future that is?
What say ye? I've kind of had it.
But it didn't help seeing a guest to the door tonight, at 11PM, to then come into the kitchen and find
a leak had sprung under the sink....and water was making it to the refrigerator at the other end of the kitchen. If life is supposed to be perfect why was I spending the last hour sopping up water and
turning off the sink water, after finding a pin hole in the copper tubing..Does this all have something to do with LQMT? Or was it just icing on the cake.
Rapidly dwindling prospects??
Yes, I will. I know if I lived out there...I'd be visiting that place ....and then I'd tell all here...WITHOUT CHARGE....
Because that's just the kind of guy I am.
Thanks for all the DD, but could one of you that live close to the California building PLEASE take a trip there and open the dang door and go inside..PLEASE for crying out loud...I"LL PAY FOR YOUR GASS,
and MOTEL if necessary....I know one or two of you live pretty close to that place...
GO AND DO !!!!!!!
I'm trying to keep things in perspective....all the negative and positive feelings we all have. Trying to
twist my philosophy in life to adjust to it. As I said before, and I feel that's why many of us are here
after years of being able to invest...its not just this stock, but others we were in and played it badly.
Thus missing a possible fortune that would never have brought us to this stock. We'd be on easy street,
financial stress gone. Dreams that came true.
But we're here, and me after 6 years, still spinning my emotional wheels...still not confident enough
to hold with ease.
Such is life.
Cayman Islands??
Well, look at it this way...we keep waiting for our investment to pay off......
Its like waiting for Christmas as a kid, to open all the presents under the tree.
Its exciting, the Holiday Spirit fills the house with wonderment and also wondering what's in the
presents.
Once open...the excitement is gone...boxes strewn around, ripped wrapping paper and ribbons...
A box of sox from Crazy Aunt Anna...five sizes too big...but also toys wished for......
but the magic dwindles....and every day life returns......
So look at it that way...we've been waiting to open the presents under the tree...and we have much
excitement about what it will all be.
WHAT NOT QUITE THE SAME THING?? OKAY, PERHAPS.
I think I need to bring in burning incense and perhaps gentle sitar music for the back ground...
Peace and love, peace and love.
Those prototype testing in Automotive....could that be the tire pressure gauges??
Yes...
Now everyone get into the steam sauna and relax...yes, you must wear a bathing suit under the towel.
"Waiter, I'll have what he's having".
I won't be selling today...will try and keep a cool head for now.....some good points were made this morning....So much going on....and its only 5.25 months in to the year.
Good Point.
I'm evaluating on selling more....not necessarily because of what's happening but it does have an effect....but the question I put to myself.."how much is enough"..as far as shares held.
Its exciting to say one has close to a million shares..(not me), or any other large amount....and we are all
different ages, different positions in life. Some working for retirement, some a new home, some college for children.
I'm retired, and have been for some time..."thank you early retirement". And the dreams I once had
I no longer have. We all change.
If LQMT is a success, I surely don't need the shares I have except for bragging rights at the country club,
but I don't belong to a country club and never would. I had to work with Pompous Asses for far too long to associate with same when retired.
Comfort zones change, along with what's happening to the company. With less shares if LQMT goes to
$1, I'll be quite happy in relation to my current life plans. And now those plans could be just being happy in my house, having enough to fix it up, and take a few cruises...and enjoy the entertainment right here in Orlando.
I think even Warren Buffet recommends highly, to re evaluate ones positions...because not only does the stock holders objectives change....but the company invested in, also changes.
Good Luck All.
Thanks for pointing it out. We all got gut kicked yesterday, but it was of our own making. Me not so much.
LQMT has gone on my back burner....I have other fish to fry. A new roof, and "fun stuff".
So what is a customer quality audit?? Is it internal? How customers are treated? Is it external referring to
contracts? Is it gibberish, to make us feel good??
Everyone needs to take a breather on this. LQMT didn't perform to the expectations that were
created HERE on a message board. All hopes were up and then came the shock of small revenue.
Most here agreed that 2018 would be "IT". Well, we're 4.5 months in. Before the news, it was APPLE APPLE APPLE APPLE APPLE. And it still may be APPLE.
Some traders will be very upset because they wanted to sell on the news. Well, the news sucked.
Sorry.
Have a good day. If LQMT is consuming your thoughts, you need to get that under control.
I have to look at the fact that a Roofing Shyster came to my door when I was numb with medical
bad news. But I needed a new roof, and I was sucked in to an outrageous agreement, just to get relief of
getting something done while I thought my life was ending. Now I'm going to get stuck with a
$2500 fee for cancelling the contract. I could fight it but it was MY MISTAKE...I could make all sorts of
excuses, but I'd rather pay it, and leave KARMA to take care of the corrupt animals.
Does it bother me? Not when I put it in context that my profits and losses with LQMT gyrate much more than that every day...What's $2500, when I see that amount and much more appear or disappear
each day in my stock portfolio. It puts things into perspective. Plus my insurance company gave me a very generous settlement for a new roof.
Sorry for the disappointing news. I'll be scratching off the Mediterranean Cruise on my bucket list.
I can see more if I buy a travel video. Plus little chance of ship dysentery. You see, there is always
a bright side. I've watched YOUTUBE videos of Lamborghinis...not an orange one, but good grief...
HORRIBLY LOUD, you can't even see what's in back of you or coming up on the side. Difficult to get in and out.
Its all about the "look", or looking to see if anyones looking at you with ENVY. And that's really
what is all about...Mansions, expensive cars, expensive restaurants, expensive watches, it all says..
"Look at me, look at me". And its all rather pathetic. I never want to give up my 2004 Camry. over
110,000 miles and never had the brake pads changed. Its my baby. And so much more that I would
not want to give up. Six years ago when I got into LQMT, I imagined a high rise condo around Ft. Lauderdale...Orange Lamborghini.....fancy trips.....maybe a big RV. Now I want none of it. I want my neighbors, my house that I've had for (gulp), 27 years?? HOW COULD THAT BE??!! In the last six years, after horrendous periods of looking back and just about regretting everything...I can now finally say..
I wound up in a good place...and I don't want to leave.
And maybe that was why I was led to LQMT in the first place...after I sold Tesla...I was being sent a message that I'm just starting to get now.
Well, I got my answer....I hear a lot of balloons full of hope being popped right now. We're headed into
2018 Mid Year....
I did start posting again, but now there is absolutely no need. Rehash rehash rehash. That's all there is going to be until a contract.
But there is still lots going on.
I decided I needed to make a Will....so I'll be doing that....and I'll have to put a benefactor for
any LQMT shares I may have when I go to the promised land. Maybe someone from another generation
will get to enjoy LQMT at a much higher PPS. But I'm sure whomever gets the shares, will sell them
quickly. One has to be slightly demented to hold this stock as long as I have. I may make it a strong suggestion ..."when you take control of the LQMT stock..SELL IT and ENJOY". There, then no one else has to suffer.
Well, I can handle the TESLA mistake pretty well..even though I'd have ONE MILLION DOLLARS in the bank right now...
But if I happened to have lived in a high rise ...close to the top floor...I'm afraid I may have "taken the plunge".
I see that earnings? came out....e-mail notification..I didn't read it...I'm going to look at each
post here....and see what the end result is...I still don't know...if the last posts are full of joyful
excitement....
So as I read each post...I'll get close to finding out the truth...like reading a mystery novel.
UGH...I hope it all ends happy....
No volume but yet green and stabilized. Is everyone waiting for the same thing? Seems so.
Its a nothing burger day for LQMT.
But I did get a notice my roof insurance check is on its way. $16,000. I got a new roof 15 years ago and it
was half that. Gaad.
Hmmm...well, with the recent news that our Armed Forces are going to insist their people use APPLE phones because the two largest Phone Manufacturers in China supposedly have been putting components in where they can spy on us....
I'm figuring that with this information...APPLE won't just be making flat panel displays in the US.
I think the US FOXCON company will be making much more. And thus we have LQMT. Imagine what that would do to the PPS.
Apple recently announced they will buy back over $100 Billion in stock...and before that, I forget how many years, some Billionaire Trader forced APPLE to buy back stock against its will.
I think that's what Sleazy Buffet meant about "ecosystem"....
I have a knife to cut the sarcasm if anyone wants one...a LIQUID METAL knife....
