Reputable information from a very recent patent. Apple to release upgraded products to include LM. In April And reliable industry source. I/We will know how reliable that source is come April. I don’t expect anything crazy in next 10q, but a breakthrough after.
Don’t expect much pr from LQMT in Apple, but do expect pr about LQMT from Apple mid April. Statement made based on DD.
Spartan, you do see the potential. But you don’t have to ever make an excuse about an actual contract. That’s on LQMT. Not you. Those emotions are normal. You are not the one who disappoints LQMT. It has always been for everyone here the other way around. This time the chuckies here are expecting Lucy to hold the ball and not pull it away. Just don’t expect it to happen this quarter. For many it is hard to see the new potential with the past history of failures.
2 Realities sum up my views and why I added to my holdings. Perhaps they sum up the views of other shareholders as well. They are not based on emotions. Emotions are often blind to reality and often lead to bad decisions in this the largest casino in the world.
Reality #1. The cash burn rate as of the last filing is $1,745,000.00 per month. Remaining cash $43 million. Apply the same rate and you have 33 months remaining. Share dilution at our expense, plus cash received will extend this time frame. The company also has a credit line (at our expense) to borrow from, allowing for more time, but with a much lower pps and a zero shot (IMO) of success at that point.
Reality #2. The company with it’s new facility, patents, and equipment and resources may lead to contracts and should lead to contracts in a race against time to slow down the cash burn and depending on the burn rate may exceed the burn rate. Thus the pps will rise whether sales are higher or lower than the burn rate. Sometimes burn rates are increased to add to capacity to increase anticipated revenues.
Reality #1. Is why the pps defies gravity.
Reality #2. Is why long terms are still in.
Everything else on this board is either interesting and entertaining and lends to great conversation in different views from all shareholders who cannot wait for a new agreement, but will have to or sell. Whatever our view points the 2 Realities are facts based on math and truths. Not emotions. Not gossip. If they’re not why you still own shares, then you are in a virtual reality or an alternative reality and seeing clearly the 10Q’s and DD becomes more difficult.
Good luck to all.
Years ago LQMT and swatch entered into a licensing agreement. The Swatch Group is the parent company of Omega watches a private company.
This blog will give all a little more insight into Liquidmetal and Omega watches as it was originally introduced.
Keep in mind manufacturing capacity today has changed for LQMT.
https://www.ablogtowatch.com/looking-at-liquid-metal-watches-with-omega/
So now that the pps manipulation theories for this stock have been dispelled for now or hopefully until it reaches nasdaq status. Let’s focus on the DD. The real deal. Does LQMT have 3D printing capabilities yet? Laser capabilities yet? Well anyway after using some techniques that are normally used by the fictional characters of Sherlock Homes or Hercule Poirot, one may conclude that liquid metal is now incorporated in the construction of the Iwatch. What one cannot conclude is who is doing the work. Otherwise one might be accused of having one heck of a crystal ball or worse. However in at least two of my posts I have associated LQMT to the Iwatch by innuendo. Now there may be other products too, but LQMT has remained silent. Legally silent. Start with the patents again, check out the diagrams again. Do the DD. They are there. Can you see the logo of Apple on the LQMT website? No! Like a silent partner they faded. Though not in partnership.
Thank heavens. We can worry about that when we see the volume. More oxygen please. Lol’s
It would take misleading PR and duped shareholders as well as 4 or 5 million dollars to cause the desired effect or a corrupt investigation or a bogus lawsuit. Other than those common elements, I need more oxygen.
So a question arrises. How much $$$ does it take to manipulate. I’m glad the question is/was not, how much $$$ WILL it take to manipulate. So let’s look at some large blocks of trades to give one an idea of what happens. In the summer of 2017 in the month of August, P. Hauck sold off over 1.5 million shares. P. Hauck is an officer of the company and the purchases and sales of shares tend to have influence. But do not confuse influence with manipulation. So what happened after blocks of 971,000, 450,000, and 140,000 shares sold at around .31. The stock went up! Not down! Up! Ok now. Then in November Tony Chung another executive sells over 3 million shares at a time when a sell off was still taking place. Did the stock tank? No! No it did not. Trades like this usually show a lack of confidence. They can also be construed as manipulation if it was done to tank a stock to buy back in. Has that happened? No!
Manipulation can take place, when an analyst or company releases misleading press releases or analytical reports to cause a sell or a buy. A float of 300 million shares and volume of 1, 2, 3, or 5 million shares won’t do it. One might say that given the company’s revenue, and history of failures anything above par value of .001 is stock manipulation. To honestly believe that the pps of .23 or .27 is somehow odd, is not manipulation. To think that the pps is actually worth .23 or .27 is self mental manipulation. This is why there are buyers and sellers of stocks. It is a perceived price based on what one perceives the pps is worth, knowing that the company has no sales, but hopes through DD it will. Its a crapshoot. Not manipulation to support the pps of a non profitable company. It is a risk, a bet, a gamble and we justify it by our knowledge, emotions and hopes that we are correct. It won’t be the first time that I am right or wrong. I am sure all of us have been down this road before.
Good luck to all.
You are right about cash burn and net profits from a contract or contracts mathematically. But when it comes to the pps and a rocketing pps in a bb stock, basic math, logic and common sense does not apply. 1 + 1 for LQMT does not = 2. If it did the pps right now would be .001 and not anywhere near .23 or .25. So when contracts are announced it will not be the cogs that will hold back the pop in pps. It will not be the logic or the common sense nor the true points of math you correctly state. It will be the hype and the speculation and the potential that will determine the pps. This is a casino not accounting 101. Unfortunately you are 100% correct. But in these casinos the odds and a bit of corruption are overruling reality. They always have.
Called my doctor to order oxygen. He said Researchfyi, can’t do it, you are not sick. I told him I need the oxygen because I cannot stop laughing. He asked, what do you mean? I asked him to read the posts on LQMT stock manipulation. I told him that people actually believe $200,000.00 is manipulating the stock. He read the posts and rushed me the oxygen.
The bottom line, there is no manipulation here. There are speculators, short term speculators taking profits and a few strategic sellers following the tech industry news relating to CE. In the mix there are a few smart buyers and mm’s who under the bb stock rules have to buy back the stock from the sellers.
Of course I could be all wrong and LQMT is being manipulated with just $200,000.00 worth of buying and selling. Hahahahaha lol’s. Give me a break or more oxygen please.
Why is it I feel alone in this crowded room. Buying stock in this company of extreme risk was cheap and affordable for many. It was never a consideration if the pps represented a fair value. The same holds true for the past as well as for now, the present. People do not invest in this game because the pps is .06 or .26. They do not invest in this game because its a sure bet. All buy chances for the opportunity to succeed, to prosper, to strike it big, in the possibility of the market place demanding or having a need for what appears to be a superior product.
This is why many bought. It is the same with other stocks of novel ideas.
And up until contracts are announced, people will buy chances to the LQMT game whether the pps is .06 or .26 or .40. Its not about the reality of the present pps. Its about future perception of what may come and the what if values of the pps and their money should contracts be announced.
So don’t look at the pps each day and say it is down or up a penny here or a few pennies there. This was never the reason why any bought chances in this game. The pps of .23 or .06 or .27 or .39 has no bearing on what will actually take place when they announce contracts. Nor does the pps represent reality based on earnings. For it will be the size of those contracts that will determine the reason you bought, whether you bought at .06 or .26. Stay focused. One may conclude that the reality of LQMT, is a lot closer to your dreams today then they were, when you bought into LQMT, whether 10 years ago or 2 years ago.
Good luck to all
To do that Mr. Li, would have to sustain a $2.00 pps, pay a very expensive fee annually. This could only be done by streaming contracts (or a large one) or a reverse split. The latter rarely works and a large contract with one entity puts the Enterprize at greater risk long term. All of this can happen.
Not true. Without going into details, the work Mr. Li is doing will bare fruits. The sell off yesterday may or may not continue today. I believe it was a strategic one by a few investors, who bought in solely on the Apple connections and sold off a percentage of their investments based on the cutbacks in the IX CF by Apple. If this is the case than they either bought in on the rumors of the past and present or they bought in on knowledge. Since LQMT has been 99.99% silent about CE, I cannot guess where their knowledge came from. But like me, I do see a definite Apple connection. I personally have not sold any shares, but have added over the years.
Good luck to you.
Contract Announcements is plural.
Medical and Auto. CE is their Manhattan Project. My opinion is they have excellent shot at RF.
If anyone needs tech data and info on 5g, start reading ieee magazine or their web.
Upcoming. Contract announcements. PPS to hit $.
If you need a reason to see a shrink. If you need a reason to take pain relievers. Go ahead and sell now.
The difference between .06 .12 .18 .22 .25 .40 etc., and $2+ is just about here. LQMT should capture their new first client base this year. They will announce it.
2018 will say good bye to the under .50
These are my opinions.
Thank you Mr. Li.
Great observations: looks like pps is being walked up slowly to possibly .39 with or without a Contract PR. The value of pps is based on future possibilities before a actual announcement. Sort of like counting the chickens before the eggs hatch. Not exactly sure who is doing the walking.
Good luck to all
Handsomehank, comparing Tom S. To Mr. Li, is simple. One withdrew from the company, the other made a deposit. I hope the latter gains enough interest for Mr. Li and us too, of course.
Gorgol, excellent points.
Long terms are in a good place. No CE without Apple approval. Instinct tells me Iwatch. Don’t know why the Apple logo was removed other than no renewal was offered. But then why not show crucible as a partner since intellectual properties we’re still being exchanged.
Not even LQMT touts CE on their web. But this does not mean negotiations to waive the restrictions between the two have not already taken place. Thus LQMT may be in an Apple product, but are not permitted to speak.
This is only speculation. But common sense tells me if there is a better way to make a product and profit Apple would be the first to know and the first to use it. Why is it taking Apple so long to do so is like everything else, beyond my comprehension.
The industries that LQMT are touting outside of CE are also huge. So shareholders are sitting in a very good place. The pps is sitting in a very good place. Hopefully there will be no more Deja Vu blogs mixed in with the status of progress. The cash reserves are in a very good place. The new equipment is ready to match initial demand. A new CEO with a bit of success is now in charge. There have not been as many positives to speak of in a long long time. The opportunity for growth, for revenue is now here. The technology is here. The foundation is finished. The roof is complete. There is a realistic difference between now and three years ago.
Whether sales come from auto, medical, sports, military or CE, its all good.
All believe a contract is coming.
I believe LQMT is ready to explode, be it tomorrow or a year from tomorrow.
Volume shows all who are in are long terms holding, not selling or buying.
.25 is a lot better than .06. If we want to see volume it would have to go to .34.
No matter. Long terms are in a good place.
No contract here yet. But the positive speculation based on info from that website cannot hurt the price here, nor has it impacted the volume up or down. Actually the pps has ticked up a bit with the hype. They say if you dig for oil in your own back yard, eventually you will find it. Hope the executives under Mr. Li, are doing just that. Mr. Li, has already hit oil in China, and closing in on a new well soon.
Recent upward tics for the month of January may be an indicator of positive negotiations. Volumes are still low. Mm’s possibly battling it out. Do not see large blocks of share movement. LQMT at or near fair value based on speculation and anticipated progress. All based on integrity of new ceo’s abilities and experience. Pps would be much higher if LQMT had a better history. Mr. Li, has a proven success record. Where as LQMT has a spotty one. Hopefully the past will be erased with the progress made today and tomorrow.
Stranger Things: Strange Sightings: Why am I reading this LQMT story as being reported as 5 days ago today? on the MSN page for LQMT.
http://www.swatchgroup.com/en/services/archive/2011/swatch_group_signs_exclusive_license_agreement_with_liquidmetal_technologies
Its an old story.
There must be some truth to the UFO stories.
http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/stockdetails/fi-125.1.LQMT.PINX?form=PRHMRQ
Tmleads, a successful person buys a business here in the USA, for it’s patents to help his company/companies in China expand their existing business. The person does not just raid the purchased company, but decides to keep its name and to save it from bankruptcy and in so doing, has saved all shareholders. The pps rises to .16 from .06 and then to around.24 after completion of his purchase. The same person divides up the globe where the existing company in China can do business and where the purchased company can do business. The same person moves the new company to a new location and invites all shareholders and others to see his and your new company. The investment made here, will be repaid by the new growth in China, from the acquired patents by the increased sales in China and Asia. The profits will hopefully be made from the company purchased here from new contracts and from contracts secured by the company in China. The much needed equipment for the company here was also obtained by the same person.
Now keep in mind the company here had very little revenue. Only a brand name and patents and was headed south of the border into micro penny land. If shareholders did their DD, they would have realized that the market cap had doubled since the purchase and the pps has held up 400%.
All of the negativity is attributed to the history of the company and the grandfathered executives right or wrong. But in this case justified by reason of their lack of success. Not there knowledge.
But if you gave the former executives 5 or 10 years to make a sale and did not sell. Then surely we can give the new person, who appears to be trying to succeed a little more time, not from his purchase. But from the open house.
It does appear that the strategy is to succeed, where past executives have failed. There is no time table for contracts. The nuts and bolts for success was never detailed. But there does appear to be an effort.
Good luck to all.
LQMT has the same upward path ahead. .02 gains per month are a great start, while waiting for contracts. Initial pops could be 3 to 4 x’s the pps at that time. Then you have to watch out for day trading, pumps and dumps. Until then current volume or volume under 15 million in a day cannot manipulate the stock. It would take a string of high volume in day trading to do that. I do not know of any traders out there that have the capability. That is another reason I have stayed with LQMT. Waiting not for the next spike, but for the contracts to be announced.
Mr. Li. Take as much time as you need, but keep us posted. It is the least you can do for your shareholders.
Good luck to all
Correction: nmkef has no split history but does have 10 million less cash, and no longer a penny either thanks to Tesla.
Paythejuice, Not exactly what you are looking for but not bad either as pennies go.
LACDF - Lithium Americas Corp. Just did a reverse split
LNVGF - Lenovo Group Limited
NMKEF - Nemaska Lithium Inc. Just did a reverse split but 33 million in cash.
You got it, just kidding. Its good to smile when waiting for the news break.
To seal the deal, perhaps Mr. Li. Can have a golfing business outing with Mr. Cook, and impress him with the liquid metal golf clubs. Either way he gets a contract. CE or Golf clubs.
I thought I saw it all. Look at the estimated target price... https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/LQMT?p=LQMT
There are no analysts but the estimated pps sounds good to me.
Sanity restored!!! 100% correct!!!
PPS might not be up right now, but the downward trend for now has paused where it was destined to head into the teens. The upward movement based on very little volume. The pause at around .22 was also on very little volume, where as the sell off that led to some panic selling was based on higher volume. All of it not based on any contracts but on speculation. If it were from insider information, I do not see any insider purchases. The bigger the rumor the larger the volume causing a spike. I do not see any new info out there including on this board that would cause a big spike in the pps. It could be that some familiar with the company want to buy back in seeing that the pps has not dropped further and others are buying back in either not wanting to miss out on a contract or the next big rumor to either stay in or sell out again on the next ride up.
Just my opinion on the pps this month. My opinions are always worth less than the pps.
Good luck to all
When Mr. Li puts some of these ideas into contracts LQMT will rocket up. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/chairman-li-receives-excellence-award-113000229.html;_ylc=X1MDMTE5Nzc4NDE4NQRfZXgDMQRfeXJpZAM2MWU4M24xZDZlaG84BGcDZFhWcFpEeHVjejVqWTJRd01UVTVaQzFtWkdNNExUTXhaVGd0WWpZeU9DMWtOakpsTmpjM1pHSmlZakoxZFdsa1BHNXpQa3hSVFZRPQ0KBGxhbmcDZW4tVVMEb3JpZ19sYW5nA2VuBG9yaWdfcmVnaW9uA1VTBHBvcwM4BHJlZ2lvbgNVUwRzeW1ib2wDTFFNVA--?.tsrc=applewf
LTriple, if you have been reading my posts you will also note that I have suggested that a new class of shareholders would be better for all shareholders. That will not happen under a $300 million market cap.
New shareholders cannot and are not able to ever throw a new lifeline to LQMT unless they are prepared to do what Mr. Li has done. So it is not the average trader of 1 share or 2 million shares that are able to throw us a new lifeline. Not even a 20 million share spike will do it. Only LQMT, a partner or buyout will do it.
LTriple, look at the historical quotes. From .06 to .43. There were times when LQMT traded much higher. Your premise of old vs New is an example of extremes and not the norm. Long term shareholders often A. Hold and add more at higher prices. B. Take profits at higher prices and buy back on dips. C. Sell. Or D. Just hold. The strategy is the same with any equity. And your point was?
Tmleads, I’m not sure if it’s pumping. But you have a very valid point. It never hurts to believe if only for the weekend.
News is here right on this board. I can’t wait til LQMT announces it.
The uptick and news is based on the posts of this board. What more proof could anyone want? Any more proof would be insider trading.
You mean $25.00 .
According to one poster here, it was suggested that this board be a source for investors or even potential investors by LQMT. If that is the case, then you now know that management is hiding under the desk, shirking off one of their fiduciary responsibilities in disseminating information.
Investors should get info from all sources. But when you invest your hard earned money in any company like this, it is a crapshoot regardless of facts or erroneous info. It is up to each investor to know their risk tolerance.
When in doubt, get out. It means you cannot afford to lose. Of course there is the belief that you buy on bad news and sell on good news. But in the case of LQMT, we have an anomaly here. There is no news! Maybe a new investing rule evolves. When you have no news, you don’t buy, you don’t sell, you hold. It would seem that the volume of LQMT backs that up.
