Ya, I can't tell if your joking or serious either. But if that's news to you, wait till you hear what was announced a year and a half ago on February 5, 2020. It will blow your mind!!!

2 business days according to investopedia.

However, I would caution everyone who is eagerly waiting for insider buys to signal something big coming to understand that you may miss the boat. Insiders do not always have to buy before big news hits. Many times a company will offer stock options. An insider can choose to exercise his/her right to buy stock from these options. Liquidmetal Technologies Inc is no different.
Below is the stock option plan for Liquidmetal Technology that was reported in the last 10q on 11/12/2020, page 15.
That's awesome, good job! Glad to hear you took profits. That's life changing money for most of us. Cheers!
Thank you. That is nice to quickly reference when discussing all these different maze companies and how it relates to LQMT; especially for new investors.
Very nice! Thank you for following and reporting this Zyris/Henry Schein angle.
I vote to make OTW's post a sticky.
This market development announcement is great. I feel reassured that 2021 will be a nice stepping stone for the company.
All good, no worries. I think I will join ya in some mixed drinks to help make sense of the world :)
With all due respect you are reading too much into that statememt. It was simply a supporting statement that the company can survive at least a decade at its current rate before it would run out of money. The point was to offer the other side of the argumemt to the doom and gloom and negative sentiment.
I would rather not play monday morning quarterback and shoulda, woulda, coulda. Deversify my man.
Furthermore I am certainly not suggesting that investors/traders that they need to wait 10 years before they can sell. Good god, come on now. Trim when you are up, rebuy on dips.
Last earnings release was definitely a disappointment for many of us; especially after the what-seemed-to-be bullish Management Commentary on 8/4/2020. No, it wasn't a fraudulent statement. Misleading? Ya, the market would agree with that considering we went from .08 cents to .17 and back down here to .08 cents. I think it was scrapping the bottom of the barrel on what is considered "volume" order(s). Anyways, I digress.
Let's find the positives. So I've had some time to take several steps back and look at LQMT from a 30,000 foot view, so to speak. Generally I don't like assuming/forecasting because I'm usually wrong (My 800k guess for last quarter revenue was a miss). But according to the 3Q 2020 Earnings release we should have a general revenue forecast.
I made this a sticky. If you guys/gals have future suggestions for sticky's, let me know.
Let's hope CANN can expand into these new territories in the coming years and increase revenue. All in all it was good election results for the industry.
LQMT posted a 643k net loss last quarter. How does 500k make us profitable? Simple math says we would still be at a 143k loss for the quarter (assuming all other numbers are the same). Unless you are aware of more cost cutting.
Don't get me wrong, a 500k number would be better than the 33k in revenue last quarter and we would be much closer...but still not-quite-there to profitability.
Chip, if you are expecting 300k-500k in revenue, then expect a single digit share price to follow rather quickly. We didn't go from 7 cents up to almost 18 cents on the hopes of 300k-500k peanuts. A low volume stock like LQMT it will be easy to go back to 7 cents because a handful of large investors repositioned after being underwhelmed (or worse take their ball and go home).
Great question Tom, I really wish I knew. All I know is we have seen LQMT go to .40's on pure speculation/hype with very little revenue. It's nice to day dream about a 5,000,000 revenue number and forward guidance/future volume contracts.
I would think 2,000,000 in revenues and we are in the 20 cent minimum.
In past years, yes 800k would be a blowout quarter for LQMT. However, if you factor in the REVOLT Management commentary, I'm not sure I would consider 800k a blowout. LQMT management all but told us revenue will be higher than previous quarters. The burning question, is how much more. In previous years we have done 456k, 504k and 597k in revenues with no REVOLT statements. I'd be disappointed if we don't break 500k-600k.
I totally agree with you on guidance. I really hope we get some!
3rd Quarter Earnings.
For what it's worth here is a historical look at past 3rd quarter LQMT earnings report dates. These are the actual dates the 10-Q's were filed on. Since LQMT is in California and west coast time; I'm going to assume they were all released in the PM (after market closed) and not in the AM before market opens.
10-Q = 11/12/2019 (Tuesday)
10-Q = 11/6/2018 (Tuesday)
10-Q = 11/7/2017 (Tuesday)
10-Q = 11/14/2016 (Monday, Late, extension filed 11/10/2016)
10-Q = 11/9/2015 (Monday)
10-Q = 11/12/2014 (Wednesday)
10-Q = 11/8/2013 (Friday)
10-Q = 11/13/2012 (Tuesday)
10-Q = 11/10/2011 (Thursday)
10-Q = 11/4/2010 (Thursday)
TDAmeritrade says earnings on 11/3/2020.
If I had to guess, I'd say they will release early next week (probably Tuesday 11/10/2020). I'd also guess that revenues will be mostly, if not all, from medical. My conservative guess is revenues to be about 800k. Add that with rent/investments and continued cost cutting and I think we are at break even's doorstep.
***I really hope I'm wrong and LQMT posts a blowout revenue number and we are comfortably in profit land.
I just voted the same.
This notice of shareholder meeting was released Thursday night. The stock price had a nice little spike Friday morning and is holding up well.
https://ih.advfn.com/stock-market/USOTC/general-cannabis-qb-CANN/stock-news/83428047/proxy-statement-notice-of-shareholders-meeting-p
I see they are voting to increase authorized shares from 100,000,000 to 200,000,000.
What are you guys thoughts on this shareholder meeting?
It's nice to see some positive price action this morning. It's double the average 10 day volume already just a couple hours into the trading day. PPS is above the 20 day and hitting resistance at the 50 day moving average.
I don't see any news. Perhaps it's just coming out of oversold territory. I added to my position under 30 cents a while ago, and have a bid in for some more.
Tesla Battery Day today (9-22-2020). The battery event is AFTER the shareholder meeting. Watch at link below. I doubt they will mention LQMT, but it would be a nice surprise!

I have started creating an "intro" page for CANN. It is a work in progress and I will continue to add more in the coming days/weeks.
Please let me know what you would like me to add to the intro and I will do my best.
*As most of you may know, you can hide this intro page by clicking on the "Hide Intro" button (see image below).
Ok, 7 years. Your opinion offers nothing new to the financial concerns of 7 years ago. Bottom line is there has always been financial concerns with this company.
Thanks for your concern and your opinion. You might be right.
Like I said before, I have a small position. If the stock goes to zero tomorrow, I won't loose any sleep. It always has and always will be about risk reward with any company. I'd much rather buy CANN at 30 cents than at $1.20.
I've been loosely following this company for 10+ years. There has always been doubt about the financial health of this company. Your opinions offer nothing new to the same financial doubts that were there 10 years ago.
Investor presentation - May 2020 Rollup Strategy.

This seems like good risk/reward at these levels. I added to my rather small position today.
Attention Moderators,
Can one (or more) of the six moderators please update the "Intro" for this LQMT board? As a moderator, you should all have the ability to make changes.
If we are attracting new serious investors, it would be helpful if our intro is more up-to-date.
I know this may be a big task, considering it is so badly outdated. I think several of us would be willing to help pinpoint the changes and come up with new verbage.
For starters, please remove Kris kent. He is long gone. Add Yihao and Eutectix as partners....So much more to do.
Thanks in advance!
Apple announces iphone 12 event will be held on September 15.
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/08/apple-iphone-12-event-on-sept-15-.html
I'm not holding my breathe on this, but I hope to be pleasantly surprised!
I am having all kinds of trouble with that other website. I am just trying to sign up. I emailed tech support last week....still waiting.
Anyways, I noticed there are at least 2 LQMT groups at that site.
1st page (no moderators listed)
https://stocktwits.com/r/LQMT
2nd page (Moderators: Base2Final and PayMe)
https://stocktwits.com/r/LQMT_STOCK/
Easy if you just bookmark the 2nd page. Ya, this will probably get deleted..
Thanks Base2Final for all you do with your charting. I think most of us appreciate your efforts.
I think charting/TA is something all traders/investors should have on their toolbelts. It's not an end all be all. But it does help to identify certain levels of support/resistance and possible price movements.
Agreed.
Shares outstanding or float, 400k shares is still peanuts to either. It's not moving the stock price.
The ignore feature works well for that other problem.
I don't see much short interest in this stock. It's only showing 400,000 shares short. Out of 914.5 million shares, that's an incredibly tiny amount of short interest. That would have little to no impact on the share price.

Eutectix Appoints Barry D. Russell as Chief Executive Officer

Pollux’s ventilator theory makes a lot of sense to me. For the reasons already posted and a few more.
I’ll admit, at first I didn’t think much of Pollux “pumping” LQMT making parts for ventilators. There have been many rabbit holes that have led nowhere here on the ihub board (as of yet at least). But after a few hours, several things dawned on me.
First, this has nothing to do with CE/Apple or that whole ordeal. This is the Medical industry and there are no constraints. Medical is touted on the Liquidmetal website, 10q’s, 10k’s. Not only is the United States desperate for ventilators, THE ENTIRE WORLD is desperate for ventilators. They need them NOW! The extreme demand is here.
Liquidmetal put out two statements regarding COVID-19, so far, on the main page of liquidmetal.com. The statements changed from 3/24 to 3/25. Then the first statement was added to the blog section. As you know, LQMT is a very secretive company. I’ve never seen them do this before in my 3 years of following the company. Granted, COVID-19 is a serious threat that the world has not yet had to experience yet. Something seems to be happening though. I don’t know what, but something.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update: Liquidmetal maintains a fully functioning office utilizing web-based meetings to support current customers and develop new markets. Despite the crisis, Liquidmetal is continuing to generate interest across a spectrum of industries and is engaging with new companies on a daily basis. Liquidmetal’s contract manufacturer in China was back to work in mid-February and is fully capable of building tools for new projects, and running machines for high volume production parts.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update: Liquidmetal is continuing to work with companies across a spectrum of industries to develop solutions for challenging parts. We have maintained all tooling and manufacturing capabilities to support new and existing projects. We are also available to host web-based training for small or large groups. Contact us!
Why the change of message and why put it on the front page? It’s interesting if nothing else, and I mentioned this on my post yesterday. Usually the only thing we get is 10k’s, 10q’s’s and an 8-k once in a blue moon. Something seams different.
Medtronic’s CEO was on CNBC on 3/25/20 touting the manufacturing of more ventilators to deal with the COVID-19 Pandemic.
https://www.cnbc.com/video/2020/03/25/medtronic-ceo-omar-ishrak-on-ramping-up-ventilator-production.html
I won’t go over all that was said in the interview, but Medtronic did mention working with Tesla and the ramp up of at least 2 versions of ventilators.
Peterson Enterprises is a company based in Minnesota that represents Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc in a sales role. Peterson Enterprises had a both next to Liquidmetal at the MD&M tradeshow in Minneapolis 2019. MD&M is short for Medical Design & Manufacturing. I was personally at that tradeshow and saw Peterson represent LQMT. I spoke very briefly with Steve Fischer (President of Peterson Enterprises) while at this tradeshow, along with Daniel Mchugh and Xiang Cui from LQMT. I picked up several business cards at the Liquidmetal Technologies booth. 3 of whom were: Tony Reif, Steve Fischer, and Chris Benson from Peterson Enterprises. They are the same Liquidmetal business cards that Daniel Mchugh has. Same black design, liquidmetal design business card.
A few months later Peterson Enterprises was at the MD&M West tradeshow in Anaheim, CA. Again, Peterson Enterprises was close to the LQMT booth and there representing LQMT. Check out the Blogs and events on each company’s website for verification of all this tradeshow stuff. More, if you look at the actual floor plan of each tradeshow you will see the booths are right next to each other in both shows.

Medtronic had several keynote speakers at these MD&M tradeshows.
Steve Fischer is the president at Peterson Enterprises. Checkout Steve Fischers Linkedin Page. Spoiler: it’s filled with ventilator and Medical industry activity.
Company Locations:
Peterson Enterprises
6230 MN-65 # 101, Minneapolis, MN 55432
Medtronic: Operational Headquarters
710 Medtronic Pkwy NE, Minneapolis, MN 55432
They are only 1.2 miles away from each other and separated by Moore Lake in Minnesota. Medtronic does have several other locations in Minnesota, but the above is the corporate location. It’s literally a 3 minute drive from Peterson Enterprises to Medtronic.
Pollux has a great theory. There is a lot of things that line up and should make this an easy contract(s) to get. Now, how much revenue will this bring us? $5,000 or $15,000,000? I have no clue.
I’d be seriously disappointed (although not shocked) if this ended up as another rabbit hole to nowhere. I’m not sure there is an easier opportunity for LQMT. I mean seriously, C’mon man!
Interesting. The Cononavirus (COVID-19) Update message on the main page of liquidmetal.com has changed since yesterday.

Perfect, thanks Base.
Sometimes when I start to question LQMT as a long term investment, it's nice to step back and get a quick 30,000 foot view and remind myself that we are going in the right direction.
