Interesting thought and article ... operative word however is "perhaps". I'm repeating myself, but Li's behavior since buying into LQMT remains very puzzling ..... I'm not going to bore anyone by lising all the confusing actions he has overseen, but I'd love to understand his motivation(s) for each.
Why he continues to keep this failing entity alive is well above my understanding. Ergo, your "perhaps" is certainly a possibilty amongst a multitude of others. I consider it unlikely after more than 6 years of tail chasing and I sure as hell resent his silence.
I understand there are a lot of Li fans out there and I was overjoyed that he mirrored Apple's bail out ... we came to somewhat understand Apple's reasoning because they made an effort to reveal what they were up to ... Li's mystery is frustrating and a slap in the face of those who held their shares in spite of all the gibberish.
You are a wise person .. wish I had your foresight.
Ha ha ... yeah he is quite a guy , especially when you get a few beers in him and he hits the shuffleboard table.
No joke, just pathetic peerofrmance by the people who could indeed make a difference in the lives of LQMT shareholders.
This company is not in business to make money ... why then are they still out there doing whatever it is they do ?
Similar to the attitude displayed by the LQMT company that has failed to perform while it's stockholders remain patient beyond comprehension.
Wouldn't it be nice if these people were to list the kinds of companies they are trying to enlist and the efforts they have made to bring them on board >>> there is a reason they have not made such efforts (which would take about an hour if efforts have indeed been made). I'm convinced that information of this sort can be divulged without violating some sort of "NDA's".
If we could somehow get to the bottom of this issue holding LQMT stock could be made much easier.
Thanks ! I guess that is something and hopefully not just "phoning it in".
I play golf with some guys who (are) (were) successful sales people. They all bear one distinct trait and that is a zest to convince another that thier point of view is correct and profitable.
I see none of this at work with LQMT, nor any effort to mention that it is there even if not seen by the shareholders much less the public at large. If they went to the trouble to provide evidence of there efforts to sell I would be marginally prone to giving them some benefit of the doubt.
As you have demonstrated documentation as a form of evidence, while not convincing in and of itself, can show some sincere effort. By ignoring even the slightest bit of communication to that end LQMT is signalling something very profound .....
LQMT is not in business to sell anything .... leaving me with one very important question, why do they exist and why have they continued to exist in the face of all their nothingness ???????
I respect and admire each of your posts and positions. However it strikes me that you do not have the correct answer to the LQMT failure .... the answer in terms of reality is not "no contracts" ...
The true answer is that LQMT will NEVER have any new contracts ... that answer is based upon the reality that they lack the motivation and talent required to obtain any contract whatsoever. They have a product to sell but do not have the knowledge or skill to sell the such product.
And, my guess it that they could care less about the company or the share price. They are getting paid to do nothing ... and the reality is that they do nothing very well. It appears they have even abandoned the practice of attending trade shows, marketing the material much less advertise.
This thing is absolutely dead in the water ... the only question left to answer is why the hell have they kept their heads above water for so long ?
I understand the reality of keeping the company on life support to continue their compensation for doing nothing. Beyond that there is no comprehensibile reason why they have behaved in the manner they have for the past 5-10 years. It is this conundrum that breeds the FOMO enabling the shares to trade on a daily basis.
GREAT QUESTION !
By the looks of it the stupidity is like a bottomless pit unless one practices the actions of the non-FOMO's on this board awaiting the hoped for exlosion that may never occur.
Makes no difference if there is nobody home to do that business ... if you get my drift.
hahahahah ... yep, that lane switching certainly does not work all the time, BUT, every so often the self checkout machines move faster than unconcered slow liners and/or the clerks who are on the clock and could care less how fast their line moves.
All the while the store management plead for patience and understanding citing the proposed notion that good help and effecient actions are impossible to find due to labor shortages and COVID.
All I can provide is my conviction that if "they" want something profitable to happen they can find the help regardless of the cost ... Why or how ? because the good and qualified help WILL repay them a million times over witht their productive action.
LQMT behaves in much the same manner as the old mold .. step over a dollar to pick up a penny as long as that penny goes into the bank accout than those at the top.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
Reality can be good, bad or painful. Stay informed.
Wish TC luck on his endeavors to ink a contract.
Because hype and copy and waste and imaginary connections simply will not do it. CONTRACTS WILL!! Nothing else!!!
_______________________________________________
Good advice ... now if I only had the wisdom and courage to act upon it I would be a more financially stabe old man.
Well, these potential customers have been doing a great job hiding in the shadows waiting for the time to jump out and use LQMT to make them fortunes ... hard to believe but just as hard to not to hope for ...
As usual, infornation that is a whole lot more realistic from that which provides false hope to people who somehow convince themselves that the dawn of a new day for LQMT is but moments away.
Balls of steel or deep pockets ?
My Saturday morning thought(s) is that Mr. Bond is a lot like the rest of us ... a hearty and tough breed of folks who do not give up easily.
In my 11 years of experience of waiting for something good to happen, this damm thing invariably provides intermittent reason for hope. Hope that is never fulfilled but often times reinforced by people like Mr. Bond.
I do not know if I am the definition of capitulation but it sure feels like it ... The thousans of dollars that I have tied up in this fiasco could have been put to work so well in so many other ways .. the few thousands that I have left are sitting there taunting me to be used in so many depressed stocks out there right now for the taking.
And, call me dumb or niave' but what the heck is the deal with Abdi Mahamedi's resignation and immediate hiring ?.... either he and Chung are spitting right in our faces or Li has completely lost his dignity and integrity by allowing this incest to occur with his consent.
Maybe I'm getting too dramatic and paranoid or the thieves have finally been let loose and are running rampent in the LQMT neighborhood.
It is looking very dark right now ...
It is what it is but it is not what it was touted to be before the marvelous "transformative material" became the failure that it "is" today.
Regardless of the acceptance of failure on the part of many (and seeminly including the LQMT "leadership") there remains two very important and unanswered questions :
1) Why did LQMT fail before Li's intervention (see all the gribbish published and feebled action taken pre-Li) ? and.
2) Why has Li allowed LQMT to wither on the vine for the previous 5+ years.(see all the gribbish published and feebled action taken post-Li) ?
At best there may be no neferous scheme at play and Li ( to include his very intellegent minions) are simply dumb, or, the failures post 2016 are planned actions to benefit SOMEONE at the cost of $64M. If there is some sort of "in between" it beats the hell out of me what it could be ... as an "is".
Either way, IF the primary players in the saga really wanted a success we would be well aware of what they attempted in order to ensure LQMT"s advancement, and, why LQMT ultimatey has failed to perform to date. The fact that these (those?) efforts have not been documented in detail for someone to consider is strangly absent from the ongoing dialogue.
And yes, Li's promise to not speak about his business has been kept in spades .... it appears to be the only thing he has made an effort to do since his 2016 Black/White emergence. Appears to me that he had a strategy in the beginning and he has kept to the plan very well to date.
PS: In my opnion there is not and never was a "MAZE". The arrangement of a number of companies on an organizational chart in not a plan or action based stratey. At best it is the figment of someones over active imagination.
I happen to think it is pretty good and provides an ongoing record of failure to be utilized if/when the time is correct.
Compared to what has been communicated by the company it is virtually a "War and Peace" type effort.
While everything about this company is looking pretty weird the following actions look very suspecious and confusing .... nowhere is there any indication of specifically why they bothered to enter into the two agreements.
To what end did they believe entering into these agreements would benefit the business much less the stockholders ? Why are we not advised about these and other such actions that preceeded them in the past ?
I'm an old man who wouldn't even know how to question these businessmen but there must be some avenue available to hold them accountable other than selling my shares ....
1) On May 10, 2022, Mr. Abdi Mahamedi resigned as a director of the Company. Mr. Mahamedi did not resign because of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. In connection with Mr. Mahamedi’s resignation, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment to Mr. Mahamedi’s previously granted options to purchase an aggregate of 1,870,000 shares of Company common stock to provide for the extension of the exercise period of the options through May 10, 2025.
Upon Mr. Mahamedi’s resignation as a director, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement, dated May 10, 2022, with Rosewood LLC pursuant to which Mr. Mahamedi as the owner of Rosewood LLC will assess and present business opportunities for the licensing and sublicensing of the Company’s technology. Mr. Mahamedi will also provide business development services and perform other special projects as requested by the Company. The Consulting Agreement has a term of 5 years, subject to the right of the Company or Mr. Mahamedi to terminate the agreement at any time after December 1, 2022 and subject to certain other early-termination rights. As sole consideration for the Consulting Agreement, the Company granted to Mr. Mahamedi an option to purchase up to 2.0 million shares of Company common stock at an exercise price of the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on May 10, 2022 that will vest 33% on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remainder vesting monthly over the ensuing two years, provided that Mr. Mahamedi continues to be engaged as a consultant on each such vesting date. The options have a term of 5 years.
2) Eutectix Business Development Agreement
On January 31, 2020, we entered into a Business Development Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Eutectix, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Eutectix”), which provides for collaboration, joint development efforts, and the manufacturing of products based on our proprietary amorphous metal alloys. Under the Agreement, we have agreed to license to Eutectix specified equipment owned by us, including two injection molding machines, the Machines, and other machines and equipment, all of which will be used to make products for our customers and Eutectix customers. The licensed machines and equipment represent substantially all of the machinery and equipment currently held by us. We have also licensed to Eutectix various patents and technical information related to our proprietary technology. Under the Agreement, Eutectix will pay us a royalty of six percent (6%) of the net sales price of licensed products sold by Eutectix, and Eutectix will also manufacture products for us. The Agreement has a term of five years, subject to renewal provisions and the ability of either party to terminate earlier upon specified circumstances.
Thank You ... I again misunderstood ... maybe it is Liquidmetal and maybe this will signal the world tthat the material is useful for products yet to be manufactured by a company that did not buy the rights to the material.
Well, I watched, listened and read the video and did not hear the word Liquidmetal ... can someone indicate the point where the word is uttered ???
A+ on the scale of positivity ... unfortunately there is no maze and for the most part this is a leaderless company .... should we live long enough I'm guessing this melts solwly away ... I just wish they (whomever "they" is) would be clear about what the hell has happened over these past 5 + years since Li assumed a "white knight" like posture.
Not chance ....
No, none of that is rational and/or possible.
By my calculations Li asked us to be patient more than 5 years ago .... he clearly has not and will not be speaking ... whatever nonesense Chung was peddeling at the beginning of the year is just that ... nonesense if not an outright lie.
If this is not a planned scam of some sort it is something equally nefarious. I had planned to dump my shares during 2017 when I polled the board for their guess of when the share price would hit $0.60c. Figured if it had not reached that point by then if never would.
I'm still waiting patiently and that makes me an idiot.
IF in fact Li and Chung do have a plan for LQMT I'd bet that they are waiting for the stock price to fall to a level where they can pick up a good number of shares on the cheap before consumating a contract.
I just can't figure out anything else that makes sense.
That's a relief !
For a minute there ai was afraid that TC was fired for lack of performance after all he has accomplished during this past 18 months.
For anyone who would like to punish me and raise my blood pressure ... I finally got the guts to sell 25% of my LQMT position today .... so buy it up a few cents and make me worry that I have missed the BIG BANG leading to lost millions !
If there is indeed some sort of a plan for this dog of a disappointment they have done a hell of a job keeping it secret.
One thing they have not kept very confidential is the share price. That piece of informantion clearly indicates nobody owning shares knows a thing one way or the other. If it is about to crash we'd be at $.03c .....If it is about to prosper it whould be north of $.50c.
I suppose that the lack of informaion is the only constant ... how they can report the same thing quarter after quater and year after year and still hold onto people waiting to get rich "quick" is a true sign of the human condition.
Well, maybe so in the distant future. In the meantime a 23% hit is rather crushing day for most LQMT cheerleaders and HOPEFULS.
In a normal world with average leadership a company whould communicate with their shareholders. I know that neither Li or Chung gives a rats ass about those trying to prosper off of their hard work but it looks like they are behaving as flyswatters at this point. Not that it is anything new but it becomes more pronounced on a day like today.
In a way it is sad an unfortunate that the end to this fiasco is not as near as I would like. There have been uncountable days of glee predicted upon endless predicted events of magic. Apple's intervention in 2010 and Li's mystifying buy in during 2016 are the only true catalysts that have made a difference in a verifiable monetary sense.
Everying between and after has been nothing more than a scam headed by crazies trying to fleece good people out of their hard earned cash, hopes and dreams.
Well, maybe so in the distant future. In the meantime a 23% hit is rather crushing dau for most LQMT cheerleaders and HOPEFULS.
So, I guess the big Apple event did not bode well for our beloved LQMT huh ?
I think that if LQMT is related to this thing the share price will double at todays opening.
Since there is no indication or HOPE of that occurring life will go on "as is" in the sad, depressing world of this company and its stock.
Uh Oh .. that leaked secret resulted in a barrage of buying ... must be the smart money, huh ?
Yeah, Paul (whats his last name ?) gave that a try and clearly failed ... as with most things desire and talent have to exist to accomplish something special.
LQMT has been spectacullary successful at failing.
Seems nobody here is interestd in teh documented, verified truth .... the world loves to think that each of it's inhabitants are the center point to a wonderful fairy tale.
Wow ... expand the theory (dream) and send it to Netflix as a 30 episode drama/thriller/comedy/tragedy.
You would think that after 18 years someone could have caught up with this marvelous material huh ?
Because they are dumb people who do not know how to make money ?
