Although the Prod revenue increased $77K from Q3'17 to Q4'17, 2016 had 3 of 4 Qtrs with higher Prod Revenue :(. I see the $66K in licensing revenue in Q4'17 as of interest. The previous 5 Qtrs had no licensing revenue. Hopefully both revenue sources continue to climb. IMHO
Not that is provides large value but it's fact. Below is a permit summary since I don't know how to reflect 2 PDF's I received from the City of Lake Forest on this board. Electrical & Building change! Public records!
My request was for copies of the of any permit activity in the last 6mo for the Lake Forest 20321 Valencia Cir location.

Can we attach liquidmetal pdf's to a posting?
I agree that we should all stay positive and that is my intention regardless of time otherwise I wouldn't be here. It is just as annoying when you hear.... WooHoo we're on our way, it's never going to drop below $0.23, contract any day now, 2017 is the year oh no wait 2018 is the year.....blahblah. And all that feel good is not backed up by a shred of meaningful info. To each his/her own!
Show some revenue and the price will increase. Show no increase in revenue and we are back at $0.19 or lower. Correct?
The necessary evil's (benefits) of the world today.... MMM....Military, Medical and MONEY
I may need this medical item due to a family history of arthritis but I don't know how big this specialized knee replacement field is.
US Patent# 9,877,790 Date of Jan 30, 2018 from ConforMIS, Inc.
Tibial implant and systems with variable slope
Currently, joint repair systems often employ metal and/or polymeric materials including, for example, prostheses which are anchored into the underlying bone (e.g., a femur in the case of a knee prosthesis). See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 6,203,576 to Afriat et al. issued Mar. 20, 2001 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,322,588 to Ogle, et al. issued Nov. 27, 2001, and references cited therein. A wide-variety of metals is useful in the practice of the embodiments described herein, and can be selected based on any criteria. For example, material selection can be based on resiliency to impart a desired degree of rigidity. Non-limiting examples of suitable metals include silver, gold, platinum, palladium, iridium, copper, tin, lead, antimony, bismuth, zinc, titanium, cobalt, stainless steel, nickel, iron alloys, cobalt alloys, such as Elgiloy.RTM., a cobalt-chromium-nickel alloy, and MP35N, a nickel-cobalt-chromiummolybdenum alloy, and Nitinol T.TM., a nickel-titanium alloy, aluminum, manganese, iron, tantalum, crystal free metals, such as Liquidmetal.RTM. alloys (available from LiquidMetal Technologies, www.liquidmetal.com), other metals that can slowly form polyvalent metal ions, for example to inhibit calcification of implanted substrates in contact with a patient's bodily fluids or tissues, and combinations thereof
Sure would be nice to see revenue from bolts for Northrup Grumman made of bondable material such as LQMT.
Maybe they were hidden on the shelving at the OH!

I would like to believe they would show operational progress from Q4'17 to Q1'18 like any good Co.....even if it isn't worthy of a separate large contract announcement. MIM activity! My speculation only and not what you or others care to hear.
My input would be that because this LQMT R&D branch of Eontec (haha) hasn't had any tangible operational announcements and only reported "patience" and "electrical power upgrade delays" we should lean toward seeing the Q4 & YE 10K reporting in March(in 3wks) reflecting very little change in revenue vs. Q3'17.
Thus we wait again for future Q1'18 reporting (May/June'18) to see if we transition to a profit center company(the one with SALES) vs the current cost center company(the one with OPEX only). 1 1/2mo's of significant operations in Q1'18 if any. Darn it!
On the bright side, maybe we get good forward looking announcements from Li on the call that drive the PPS to $0.60/sh that we had all been flinging at the calendar dart board. There can't be many people still in the running on that $0.60 board!
Or will we end up missing the technology train and follow others in 1yr? HOPE not!
I agree! Shouldn't the MIM Sales wizard be able to pull in 500K to 1M given his salary? Or do we have to wait another Qtr or two for that operational setup and whatever other bottlenecks seem to magically appear? Planning, Planning, Planning! I don't want to see $30-50K Qtrly Rev again.
I did get some at $.06 and $.08 but not near as many as I should have. That's investing!
Will we end the day with avg daily volume at 1.4M to 1.5M like we normally do over the last 2+ yrs or will we get news? Unfortunately I think the anchor was dropped at the dock. Give me something!
The cannabis industry has provided profits if you were invested.
Maybe I need to be smoking that to ease the pain of this stock! :)
Consider me dust but to be completely accurate I still have until the 22nd. HaHa Who would have thought we would be this challenged to get to $0.60/sh. It truly may be NEVER, I hope not!
If if's and but's were candy and nuts oh what a party we'd have.
Plausible ......Similarly I've experienced implementation/certification/reviews of ISO requirements (audited by a 3rd party reviewer) involving a European customer before they would commit to a revenue contract. If you are saying you are doing something you better be doing it!
Patience!!
1. Almost 24mo since ISO approval
2. 18mo since equity raise by Li
3. ??mo since transition to new facility that didn't account for a forward looking electrical upgrade if your intention is to expand anyways. i.e. your a billionaire so that was chump change.
Apparently the BoD should be more demanding. HeHe I guess that's Li.
Life and technology passes you buy if you don't move quickly. This is the USA.
If they had reflected even $500K in Qtrly revenue this last qtr that would have at least let us know there was some kind of sales activity happening.
Patience with children is a whole different story. 18yrs :)
I'm up next and I reluctantly say I will bite the dust also. My glass is half empty right now. :(
Maybe the ATX trade show in Minneapolis on Nov 8-9 (where LQMT has two booths) will bring many more customers our way. Heck since Hauck is a Minnesota man maybe he will even be there. Assuming his other activities away from the OH are completed ;).
I agree, maybe that has changed with Lugee, we will see in the next Qtr or 2.
I agree he should be able to do as he wishes when he wishes per SEC guidelines (I would do the same) but shame on LQMT for allowing a money tree when they should be conservative while attracting quality talent.
Being accountable for your actions or lack their of (Hauck) is reality not negativity. Lugee should address accordingly to all in a timely fashion not 1 plus year(s) later. Dead weight should be addressed in all of business to keep S,G&A in line with Revenue's.
Thanks for the being the voice of reason. I agree completely.
If the sales cycle is so long (not disputing that at all) then put in executive clauses that prevent them from selling off their holdings until they bring revenue. So a car salesman is the bottom, a RE agent is next level up, what is a MIM salesman who either was in a difficult sales operational situation or couldn't get a signed contract?
Spot on with what we have seen before. no news before the OH is not good news in my opinion.
I would like more highlights in the 10Q narrative besides:
1. a facility relocation
2. a few new/relocated machines (operational-probably vs. revenue producing operational-doubt it)
3. a change in CFO (My guess he is more role productive which is good)
4. one time S,G&A cost savings
5. same old $150-300K reported Qtrly revenue
The above 1-4 should take how long? Then what has everyone been doing, specifically the sales folks?
A new large scale partnership and or contract(s) moves the needle.
I hope I'm proven wrong!
yes rain not reign, sorry.
We need a contract or two, to put this public board conversation to bed, before or right after the OH. The share price with then do what it is going to do in a positive way.
Is Xtalic going to reign on our parade of HOPE in CE, automotive & aerospace?
Thanks for your input. Believe me after 7yrs I don't want to miss that train on this one.
My guess is we all continue to increase our stop limit orders just below a perceived floor to hedge our risk IF for some reason the news in the next week or month is not what we all want? I'm not a daily trader, so those who are way smarter than me your input is appreciated.
Here's a thought, be a manufacturer that produces something that is sold at cost or with minimal profit to get market exposure. Then as your contract mix grows you have those that are substantially profitable and those that are loss leaders. That way at least you then begin to grow the product line to cover some of your COGS and G&A. Eventually your loss leaders are either dropped or modified over time. Not sure if that makes sense.
I at least then have my foot in the door for future business if the product is truely worthy. A sticky/value add product becomes then harder and harder for a customer to move away from. i.e Apple products. how often do large customers flip from one strategy to another, years??
Thoughts
How appropriate. Obtuse... (NOT SHARP OR QUICK OF WIT). Last time I heard that Andy Dufresne was calling the warden that in Shawshank Redemption. What a GREAT movie
If only Paul H. had the work GPS chip inserted in his wrist and we could track his movements to see what he's up to! :) Or track his cell. HeHe
Maybe then we would know if he's working or not!
Albeit rare your extreme volume example did happen. >100M volume ONCE in the last 10 years. But I think your point is that we do have further room to run versus being overbought.
I'd like to see our current price jump (double) like we saw back 4 years ago during that July time period. 7/16/13 - 7-18/13
I don't recall what caused that 2013 spike. Apple agreement?

Maybe not a connection to LQMT but Apple now announced they finished construction on their latest renewable energy project in Florence,AZ. It is a 300 acre solar renewable energy farm (50Megawatt station) to power its east valley location (thinking Mesa,AZ). Not sure when it will be up and running but those working there (SRP local utility ) were held to an NDA which is typical of Apple. Equivalent power to run 12,000 homes.
First time poster to this board. What are the odds someone would get a CC YES/NO answer from Steipp as to whether we will see $500K-$1M in contractual sales in '16? It's called a forecast that investors can use for reasonable expectation. None of this $27M RFC potential.
New at this process but I do have a vested interest.
$0.187 guess for EOW price (Increase due to market manipulation).
Don't beat me up!
