Wouldn't it be great to learn we bought PrometalTech???
You don't need vent holes in a vacuum, right?
Aren't blood and seawater similar? How does this affect implantables?
Design Guide 5.0 will coincide with a new website, worthy of Li's good name.
Agreed 100%, and Li wouldn't have gone all in if he weren't certain he can ramp up production with highly consistent quality control.
THANK YOU for putting that topic to bed Watts!
Can he use the name Liquidmetal in CE?
Exciting, but how is this possible with Apple's exclusive rights to Liquidmetal for CE?
Totally agree. His statement was a powerful one, backed up by his vast experience and resources.
You can set up a Roth IRA with a deep discount online brokerage (like Optionshouse) and accumulate quite a few shares of LQMT with very minimal fees and commissions!
The market DOES reward positive uncertainty. Look at the price of any public company when takeover rumors start swarming... the price goes up!
So, with LQMT, the news of the new facility is positive news, but there is still uncertainty because the deal might not close on Friday. This uncertainty is negative. Once the uncertainty is removed by the deal closing the price should reflect the removal of negative uncertainty by going up.
Agreed, and while some on this board disagree that the official closing date of our new facility this Friday will not impact the share price, I disagree. The market penalizes negative uncertainty, in this case being the chance that we might not close on our new facility on schedule. Once negative uncertainty is removed, intrinsic value increases. So, I'm optimistic that our price will increase on news of our confirmed closing on Friday (or over the weekend or next week).
YES, there was talk in the LinkedIn reviews by Glenton's colleagues that he gave them lots of room to do their jobs without micromanagement. That's one approach... an approach which can lead to decades of slow but steady progress. Another approach practiced by Steve Jobs gets seeming miracles accomplished on TIGHT timelines. Glenton sounds like a dream, but results on a defined timeline will be GREAT for LQMT investors!
We close on the new facility Friday. That will reduce some uncertainty which should boost share price!
Another way of stating my point: The alloy formulations and early manufacturing patents themselves are worth nothing without the immense IP we share with Apple. It's this incredible IP portfolio that will allow us to corner the market for BMGs. I mean you no ill will. The internet is full of trolls who love bashing anyone in front of them (through the safety of their keyboards). That's not who I am. I just disagree with you and it seems you are new to the board, so I'm letting you know something you might not already know. Good luck to you!
I understand. What it doesn't appear you understand is that we've been co-developing extraordinarily complex patents with Apple to BRING THIS TECHNOLOGY TO MARKET in a way that is impossible to copy without the deepest of pockets and resources. I'm not talking about product-related patents. I'm talking about methods of manufacturing that extend far beyond any product.
I'm not either. I'm not confused about what you're saying. But you seem not to know much about Liquidmetal's patent portfolio.
I have one too. Does anyone on the board have the patents stickied to enlighten poloniner?
I'm talking about material and process patents too. I think there's a lot you don't know about the patents we co-own with Apple. Lots of em.
Yes. And you do know that we've been continuously developing breakthrough patents with the deep pockets and brains of Apple's best engineers and materials scientists which continues through this day, right?
At least the IP isn't easy to copy! Good things come to those who wait for technologically revolutionary materials!
We caught it. But that's a current snapshot. Li also has said, “We are very excited about the purchase of our new corporate office and manufacturing facility. The new facility will allow us to expand our manufacturing capabilities in line with our overall strategy to prepare the Company to be the global leader in amorphous alloy production.”

We all want growth, and there's plenty of room for that!
Couldn't agree more!

Even if they sell their shares, it's an opportunity for us to increase ours!
I don't understand how tripling in value over less than a year can be viewed so sourly! And, we're not talking about a spike followed by a drop... the price has been holding very steady for long enough to know it's not pump and dump. Take a little time to appreciate owning a stock that has tripled in value in less than a year, with nothing but great news ahead of us with Li at the helm!
Leopards can't change their spots!
HAHAHAHA!!!!! That's a good one!
After years of wincing at our plummeting share price, I came very, very, very close to selling all of my shares on Friday, March 11, 2016 when we closed at $0.08/share. But my spouse said to hold it, and if it goes to zero so be it, but at least we wouldn't have to regret selling at the wrong time forever after. Then the news of Li broke over the following weekend, and we have now tripled in value from March 11, 2016. If that was a bad time to sell, this is even worse! I'm not selling until I'm rich, either through this position or through my others. You know when they show the original shareholders of tech giants and report how all of them are worth hundreds of millions? Some day that'll be us. Well, at least we'll be worth tens of millions. :)
This all sounds reasonable, but we can lean on Eontec to produce parts while we are unable to do so. Win/win!
You are 100% correct. This board is a good place to share our enthusiasm and commiserate when things aren't going well (which in the PAST has been all too often), but things are really looking up, and I'm very excited for us to all accumulate some enviable wealth in the coming years together. I have no idea who any of you people are, but the common bond of watching this thing is a fun one to share. Best of luck to you Gorgol and may you be very, very rich some day with a huge smile plastered from ear to ear. Maybe even Watts will be smiling ear to ear some day!!
I trust Li to conduct his own effort-to-age cost/benefit analysis.
I remember something from high school physics class that hot water freezes faster than cold water... something about the high energy particles in the warm water flying away to leave the lower energy particles to cool quickly...
Was thinking the exact same thing today!
Did you have active control over the outcome of your investment like Li does? Or were you passive?
I think I started this whole discussion about online brokerages when I mentioned that my LQMT purchase orders sometimes sit for a curiously long time when the mark is below my bid. I use Optionshouse and generally love the platform. This is the only security that has strange trading behavior. All my other orders execute instantly if my bid is at or above the mark. Market orders are always instantaneous though I almost never use market orders. Commissions usually depend on what the deal was when you became an account holder with your brokerage and good deals are generally grandfathered. That's why some folks have higher commissions on penny trades than others within the same brokerage. Depending on the account I use, I pay between $8 and $15 to buy about 20,000 shares of LQMT. Not bad. Long ago, I had a USAA brokerage account which charged OBSCENE commissions to buy LQMT. Love USAA for everything else, but don't use their brokerage services anymore.
People who speak in absolutes are often absolutely incorrect.
I've noticed that some of my purchase orders sit for a long time even when my limit is over the mark. Definitely odd behavior.
VERY well played!!!
If Li shows up at meetings, we'll get sales. He has confidence backed up by decades of the most relevant experience available on Earth.
