Thank you for sharing your insights on LQMT.
Good luck to you.
Another week passes and LQMT’s share price is down 3% from 0.064 cents to 0.06208 cents on extremely weak trading volumes and little interest. The same when LQMT moves up or down.
contracts have not yet materialized and as accurately predicted here on this board, the share price has begun to pull back as stated in a few of my posts. It’s nice to see the 0.06’s are holding.
The bottom line is usually when an insider buys stock in their own company it is a bullish sign. But when two or three insiders do the same around the same time, it is an extremely bullish sign. All outsiders are still waiting….tic tic tic tic tic tic.
Unfortunately for anyone stuck in la la land as well as those stuck in reality land and in between, it (the share price) goes in a direction based on demand for the stock and sometimes that demand is increased or decreased based on performance of a company and not just, “ I feel something good is about to happen because it hasn’t happened for a long long time.”
Many still don’t get it! You need actual new contracts, new sources of revenue growth to grow the shareholders value and PR’s/more communications of confidence from LQMT.
Hype and speculation and a lack of great potential just doesn’t do it any more for a company that has not fulfilled any of those speculations theories and perceived potentials in over twenty years!!
Not that I or anyone else would mind if those hype dreams and well wishes and theories would work to rocket up the share price. Again one would think with the present YTD potential, LQMT would be trading much higher. On the other hand look where LL’s $64 million, 400 million plus shares got him…and us? Is he stupid? Absolutely not! Is his hands tied? Strong possibility! China took over Hong Kong. Many fled before. Those who stayed conformed. It’s no different here. The government no matter where you are can be used as a weapon. You either fall in line or face the music.
As stated a gazillion times: with anemic trading volumes the share price means BUBKIS! and so too does another picture of a product using Liquidmetal, without the big long overdue 8K.
Perhaps in 2025 or 2026 LQMT might succeed and if they ever do make it in 2024 all in it will be very thankful and glad that they did.
FOMO lives and is probably the main reason why anyone holds on regardless of any other opinion at this time. Not wanting to take a loss at this point may be another.
I try to present a balanced view based on the facts not on the emotions of anyone hyping or bashing LQMT. I believe I nailed it correctly. This board has had it correct past and present from potential to expectations to hope to FOMO.
Unfortunately LQMT can still hit the 02’s. Not my wish. The performance of LQMT will decide that.
No matter what anyone’s view is for LQMT going forward. The fundamentals have not changed and every day LQMT’s trading data is proof.
From looking at events upcoming, the share price should hold from the 0.04’s and higher for the next three months.
Here’s looking to LQMT’s success in 2024.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
Wish TC and all of the executives luck.
At this point in time not knowing exactly what the FDA IS GOING TO DO. But sometime this year it looks like(those are speculative words) the ring will be approved. And with the proper marketing in place, we have to speculate again. Movano might be able to sell at least 100,000 rings. And if ( another speculative word) LQMT can earn $10 dollars a ring, about 3.8% of the total cost. they could gross $1 million dollars. And possibly have growth from there.
Would be nice. Even better if they get 1 million ring orders in 2024. Here’s to 6 months away and plenty of time to hype. Who knows just the rumors could lift this up a nickel.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
Wish TC luck.
Still don’t quite get why the ask price and bid price is not closer to a dime or little higher?
I mean with all of the recent hoopla being bantered about. Everyone knows… the ring, the inside purchase, the speculation for both companies to benefit soon. Shouldn’t that raise the ask price i ask? Doesn’t this increase the potential? And that invite TC got. Isn’t this all worth at least a dime minimum?
So what if the volume gets halved? Not much to look at now, and what the heck the liquidity will be the same.
I still don’t quite get it. I guess everyone else does. Because all I hear are crickets.
Like I said: “Have no idea what you are talking about.”
But this time I’m sure you don’t either.
Try focusing less on who is posting and more on the company of this board. Perhaps then no one will be confused.
Other than that, all I gather from your post is static and nothing about LQMT.
Like I said: “Have no idea what you are talking about. But I’m sure you do.”
Have no idea what you are talking about. But I’m sure you do.
Listen to what you are thinking. Contracts don’t happen overnight.
But from the known public information it is not a crime to speculate that the movano ring will be fda approved and its exclusive iOS base to be expanded and for sales to increase requiring Liquidmetal material. Now add in the hype and anyone buying shares in either company has a good expectation of making money. A. Through the shares purchased B. Through the shares already held and C. If you are an executive with stock options vested.
Speculation that your company is going to get a contract of yet to be determined $$$ is not a crime. It is common sense speculative logic used to invest in any company.
Time to move on to the real problem…
Where are the contracts????
24 months tic tic tic tic tic tic.
As far as I know, everything about the movano ring is public knowledge now. The shares were bought after the movano release of information.
If that’s the catalyst I don’t see a problem.
Any insider can buy shares even if they go up in price soon. Just as you can buy shares based on public information.
As long as the information cannot be connected to insider knowledge, you or TC CAN BUY WHATEVER YOU WANT REGARDLESS OF HOW IT LOOKS.
It happened to me on Call Options a long long time ago. I bought a sheet load of call options on a company at a dollar. Having no idea the share price was going to skyrocket on a pop in two days due to a pr. The SEC contacted the firm and my broker, wanting to know how I knew what was about to take place. The SEC was satisfied, when he showed them how many call options didn’t pan out that I too had purchased in the past. Case closed.
As long as the shares are purchased with public knowledge. No problems. Now TC is aware of NDA’s and prototypes in potential hands. LQMT also has a history of no contracts from 100’s of them according to their spin. As long as he has know knowledge of imminent contracts the same as you have no knowledge. How in the heck can you prove there is a connection whether you know who the potential clients are or you don’t.
In essence buying stock now is buying a lottery ticket. You have a good idea right now of who might want to use this material. You just don’t know when.
Of course it would be better for an insider if it took a longer time and not an earlier time to score.
You too would be under THE SEC’s Eyes if you bought a million shares in a dice roll and it hit $2 next week.
Don’t think it can’t happen. It happened to me.
But as long as you’re upfront. You will have nothing to worry about and neither will TC.
Now if he exercised his negative options and LQMT scores that’s a whole different ballgame.
Sad part is I can’t at this point in time find anything factual recently or now to counter any of those points.
Speculation to counter is just another opinion not a fact.
The only counter is where does the purchase of shares by TC fit in. The last time he sold his insider shares and left everyone else out to dry.
So I can’t rely on that either to counter.
So when anyone can’t counter you with facts they will mock you. But they still cannot counter any of your opinions.
Good luck to you.
It’s not the sellers. LQMT is already in the cellar.
It’s that there are not enough buyers beyond the MM’s who are stuck with buying what anyone is selling. Otherwise the SP drops even lower.
This anemic interest in LQMT results in the share price being meaningless between 0.01 or any other higher share price.
Interest is driven by many factors, rumors, hype, potential, bashing, contracts, LQMT PR and reality. Many times reality is confused with bashing. Reality tries to depict what is really going and what really may happen given a number of scenarios up or down.
So when interest is anemic, trading volumes are anemic and so too is liquidity. They feed off of one another or in this case starve off of one another.
From observing all of these factors trying to pull LQMT up or down. The only factor that has any real impact up or down is when LQMT itself reports or releases data of progress or lack of progress by the numbers filled quarterly.
Everything else of what anyone else says is just.
"Dust in the Wind".

It’s the buyers. Where are they???
They won’t bight too, until a deal is in the wind.
And they don’t give a rats what the pps is. It’s the liquidity. The assurance of getting in and out without the example of what just got posted today.
And now you know what is really holding the price back today. Then again, you already knew the answer. Like everyone else that answer is boring.
*Is this what we have become? I had to laugh when I read it…

Does it apply to us today in so many ways?
Déjà vu. Premonition Or Twilight Zone?
*From 2007
Aside from the known factors of declining interest, liquidity, trading volumes and share price. Isn’t the liquid resources, insider ownership and potential for a new contract worth raising the asking price to a dime?
After all it won’t make much difference with the trading volumes being what they are. I mean, wasn’t LQMT trading at a dime not too long ago with the same scenario going on?
Hmmm 🤔 ?
If only that were true.
Would be nice if that trend continued.
LQMT was honored…did they go?…

Did the shareholders learn anything?
I couldn’t tell from their blog update commentary following the invite.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
Wish TC luck.
No wonder why so many have a high opinion. :)
There’s a lot of anger anxiety hostility combativeness and borderline sociopathy going on and none of it seems to be focused on LQMT, the focus of my posts, only on all theories, no facts. No credibility.
So in the interest of integrity once again it seems reality sometimes hurts and can be very very painful. Makes one or two scream. Can’t blame anyone for not wanting to face the facts. Now I have said this before and I’ll say it again. LQMT can go down to a 0.01 penny or it can rocket up to $15.00’a share. But without changing the fundamentals for the better and just remaining where they are now, the 0.01 scenario is much more likely. Just as when LQMT was under financial stress and had to sell off their ip their heart and then share their ip and give up control for $64 million dollars for the same reason.
What’s the reason? Failure by management to understand the material’s limitations and costs to succeed.
Bottom line, when one forces on a poster more than the facts of what is being posted or offering a shred of facts to counter someone else’s opinions. You just have to smile and let them vent. Psychiatry is way above my pay grade. :)
My posts on my investment and positions on LQMT, have been and are spot on. Even when LQMT reports dismal results or a contract.
My posts are based on what I observe in LQMT. Not on what one invents or dreams up. In the land of Oz.
If anyone does not understand LQMT and the possibilities for it to sink or swim. Click your heels come back down to earth and read my posts or others who know how to express a comprehensible opinion.
Just as imo, all do not like the results of LQMT’s performance since 2017 in other cases prior to 2017. I do not expect many to like the posts reflecting the facts of reality and what direction it points to.
Like I always say; my opinions are always worth less than the price of a LQMT share.
But, when anyone distorts the facts, they truly are worth even less. If anyone reads in my posts where I tell them to sell, point it out
“out of the movie: Cool Hand Luke and delivered by actor, Strother Douglas Martin Jr.: “What we've got here is failure to communicate."
To anyone, try focusing on LQMT and what they are doing and less on the poster but factually what they are saying.
As stated above, psychiatry is above my pay grade.
Nothing I can think of. 🤔 hmmm?
Nowhere in my posts do I suggest anyone sell their shares. Unless they wanted to use a small portion of their long term position to buy it back on the pullback for a repeated wash rinse and repeat cycle to earn money to buy back in or use as they wish.
To the contrary. Many times and actually recently before TC purchased, I indicated that it would be a good time to buy in.
Those who advocate that it is going to take decades are the one’s bashing LQMT and setting up a scenario to sell. Where even in my last post I clearly make the case that there is no reason for anyone to think that amorphous metal has to be adopted by the markets for investors or dice rollers to earn money.
I clearly stated there is enough global revenues out there right now and interested parties for LQMT to grab and rocket up the SP.
I believe it was already stated by someone else who took the line out of the movie Cool Hand Luke and delivered by actor, Strother Douglas Martin Jr.: “What we've got here is failure to communicate."
We also, have a failure for some to read and comprehend the difference between advocating for selling, buying, holding and advocating to do your own due diligence before doing any of the three.
Like I always say; my opinions are always worth less than the price of a LQMT share.
But, when anyone distorts the facts they truly are worth even less. If anyone reads in my posts where I tell them to sell, point it out.
Clearly stating the facts as reported by LQMT or its historical data may be depressing. But in no way do they suggest one sell there Shares. It is to the contrary, that those who are bullish and do not like to read the truth or to read what others might be negatively stating are the ones advocating for shareholders to sell.
There was a time I believe before 2017, where someone was complaining about LQMT and I suggested they sell that is it. And that is when I changed my tune and opened my eyes and focused on LQMT and stopped tagging along.
My posts are spot on and always reflect the accuracy of what LQMT states and not that of anyone else who may lack understanding of an investment or the abilities of a material to generate realistic revenues now or in the future.
From reading private reports and not public reports are there any data backing up any sound bites of $trillions of dollars of revenues globally from LQMT’s ip or globally from all other sources of BMG/Amorphous metals, let alone $billions in the short term future. Meaning within the next ten years or more. Meaning currently BMG/amorphous metals currently generated approximately $50 million worldwide as of 2023.
Anyone implying those higher numbers now or down the road for LQMT investors, are either dreaming in a light year where all existing investors have passed onto their reward from mortality. Or are simply hyping, grossly exaggerating or have no clues between investing to earn a profit in LQMT or how a new material trying to enter the market realistically becomes adopted.
Our bulk amorphous alloy technology is still at an early stage of commercialization relative to many other materials.
Read on….source LQMT:
“Our bulk amorphous alloy technology is a relatively new technology as compared to many other material technologies, such as plastics and widely-used high-performance crystalline alloys. Historically, the successful commercialization of a new material technology has required the persistent improvement and refining of the technology over a sometimes lengthy period of time. Accordingly, we believe that our company’s future success will be dependent on our ability to continue expanding and improving our technology platform by, among other things, constantly refining and improving our processes, optimizing our existing amorphous alloy compositions for various applications, and developing and improving new bulk amorphous alloy compositions. Our failure to further expand our technology base could limit our growth opportunities and hamper our commercialization efforts.
Future advances in materials science could render Liquidmetal alloys obsolete.
Academic institutions and business enterprises frequently engage in the research and testing of new materials, including alloys and plastics. Advances in materials science could lead to new materials that have a more favorable combination of performance, processing, and cost characteristics than our alloys. The future development of any such new materials could render our alloys obsolete and unmarketable or may impair our ability to compete effectively.”
Again the source for the above in quotes is from LQMT.
Like I said my posts are spot on from what I observed. And amazingly from knowing very little. My opinions have been remarkably spot on and fair.
Now let’s look realistically at the current state of LQMT as it compares to the current revenue state of BMG/Amorphous metals revenue growth worldwide and projected (theorized) growth as derived from private reports. (Much of it if one takes the time can be found publicly.)
To simplify the picture I’m rounding off the numbers so that everyone has a clear picture of what it truly means to be invested in LQMT as a growth investment to earn money as supposed to be invested in the future theories of a new material’s ability to possibly be adopted by the markets. It’s very easy to be confused by the two into thinking they are one and the same. They are not. Let no one confuse or entice you with visions of $$$$ that simply do not exist now or down the road. The reality is what exists by what LQMT reports always and there ability to grow now and perhaps next year and not 20 years from now when you might be dead. At least that is why I invested over 20 years ago. Thinking LQMT might be successful enough to have solid growth YOY and not solid declining growth YOY. Or intermittent growth YOY.
Globally revenues from around the world in BMG/amorphous metals totaled approximately $50 million dollars. That means businesses involved are making money. Maybe not profitable but making money and not all trade publicly. And some that do trade publicly you are prohibited from investing in. In fact to protect clients. There are brokerage firms that prohibit their clients from investing in many publicly traded stocks to protect their clients from losses.
Now according to last year’s LQMT 10k. LQMT received revenues of $383 thousand dollars. Rounding every thing off. LQMT’s share of the global pie is not 50%, not 10%, not 5%, not even 1%. The LQMT share of those millions of dollars in global revenues is 3/4’s of 1%! That’s it. Not billions or trillions.
A few of the other known players are:
Heraeus Holding
Eutectix LLC
Hitachi Metals, Ltd.
Supercool Metals
Dongguan Yihao Metal Material Technology Co., Ltd.
PX Group
Glassimetal Technology, Inc.
Exmet Amorphous Technology AB
Zhaojing Technology Co., Ltd.
Qingdao Yunlu Advanced Materials Technology Co., Ltd
There are many more.
Not all are listed.
What does this mean Researchfyi?
It means statistically or hypothetically if everything remains the same and we all are betting it doesn’t. It means global revenues would have to triple beyond the forecasted 15% to 30% expected growth rate for LQMT to gross over just $1 million dollars! Not profit, but gross!
In other words it would take the global growth in BMG/Amorphous metals to grow five times faster than the projected growth rate to reach just a billion dollars in revenues worldwide in which case LQMT’s slice of the pie would by then be
$7.5 million dollars.
Now realistically if we/I in LQMT wait for the real estimated year for that to happen, it won’t happen until the year 2037. Not a billion dollars and definitely not a trillion dollars unless you’ve gathered around the ganja tree this year for Christmas as I pointed out in an earlier post.
Many of the reports project a quarter of a billion worldwide by 2031.
So based on the theory of la la land about understanding or not understanding growth in the world of pioneers both you and your children would long be gone before any $$$ is made. Now to me that sounds obscene and insulting. But if correct a realistic outcome.
Take it from LQMT: “Our growth depends upon our ability to retain and attract a sufficient number of qualified employees.
Our business is based upon the commercialization of a new and unique materials technology. Our future growth and success will depend in part on our ability to retain key members of our management and engineering staff, who are familiar with this technology and the potential applications and markets for it. We do not have “key man” or similar insurance on any of the key members of our management and engineering staff. If we lose their services or the services of other key personnel, our financial results or business prospects may be harmed. Additionally, our future growth and success will depend in part on our ability to attract, train, and retain scientific engineering, manufacturing, sales, marketing, and management personnel. We cannot be certain that we will be able to attract and retain the personnel necessary to manage our operations effectively. Competition for experienced executives and engineers from numerous companies and academic and other research institutions may limit our ability to hire or retain personnel on acceptable terms. In addition, many of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater financial and other resources than we do. Moreover, the employment of otherwise highly qualified non-U.S. citizens may be restricted by applicable immigration laws.”
In essence truth be known most of the knowledge in amorphous metals in use today are in Asia and not the USA. Not that the U.S. government is behind. It’s just that the government sector doesn’t always share what they know with the public sector until something new comes along to replace the old material.
So knowing all of this. One might ask if it’s going to take a gazillion years for the new material to become adopted in such a manner as to insure mucho dinero $$$$$$$. Why in the hell would an executive buy a million shares today just to drop dead? And why in the hell would departing executives of age and existing ones accept worthless stock options to do the same?
The answers are simple. And the departing executive IMO, who explained it best was BB in his departing letter from Christmas 2020.
Read it. If you can’t find it, I’ll post a link.
The truth is all in LQMT do not have to wait for the material to be adopted in large numbers to earn money from a dice rolling penny stock like LQMT. It can be done just as well with much smaller numbers to rocket up the share price.
And from this being under a dime, it will take even less.
If a picture and an insider purchase can double the share price in a pop. Imagine what a real contract will do, when announced! It’s almost 24 months now without any new announcements of one.
I just post what I’ve observed regarding LQMT. So far I’ve been spot on. My apologies, it bugs me too.
I don’t bash, I don’t hype. I know, it’s boring. Reality sucks sometimes.
To all, thank you for reading my posts whether you agree with or disagree with them.
As always my opinions are alway's worth less than the price of a LQMT share.
As for pioneering. I think LL is doing a great job.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
Wish TC luck.
If anyone truly understands what I have just posted they would know that all LQMT has to do is grab a bigger slice of the existing pie now to rocket up to the moon. All need not wait a decade or two.
Another week passes and LQMT’s share price is up 7.57% from 0.0595 cents to 0.064 cents on extremely weak trading volumes and little interest. The same when LQMT moves up or down.
Ironically as stated in my previous post, a few hundred thousand shares trading can move the stock’s share price up or down a penny. Today’s anemic volume moved the SP up 9/10th’s of a penny. I just post what I’ve observed regarding LQMT. LQMT gets all the credit positive or negative. Believe it or not, this type of anemic trading activity has been do just that for years now and not just for one trading day.
While all outsiders in LQMT continue to focus on what is left of the share price rise, contracts have not yet materialized and as accurately predicted here on this board, the share price has begun to pull back as stated in a few of my posts. The nickels for now seems to be the direction LQMT is averaging right now down from the 7’s when a blog post appeared and TC an insider purchased shares causing much speculation and rightfully so.
Perhaps today’s close can be followed by some positive news next week. Who knows? With LQMT anything is possible, from languishing in the abyss to rocketing up to the moon.
Now one would think, myself included, with all of the hoopla of LQMT showing a new product on the LQMT blog and the CEO buying a million shares or so and trading volumes (rising) quadrupling, plus speculations, and LQMT showing a little more potential, that the share price would continue to go up and up and hold. Right? After all, an insider doesn’t buy stock to see the share price go back down. So I was told here on this board. Right?
Not so fast. LL is the biggest insider and TC has his own reasons for buying. And just because an insider buys it doesn’t mean the stock can’t fall back down after the pop in the share price. And yet every now and then a genius will come along and tell me and everyone else who disagrees, they are wrong!
The bottom line is usually when an insider buys stock in their own company it is a bullish sign. But when two or three insiders do the same around the same time, it is an extremely bullish sign. All outsiders are still waiting….tic tic tic tic tic tic.
Unfortunately for anyone stuck in la la land as well as those stuck in reality land and in between, it (the share price) goes in a direction based on demand for the stock and sometimes that demand is increased or decreased based on performance of a company and not just, “ I feel something good is about to happen because it hasn’t happened for a long long time.”
Many still don’t get it! You need actual new contracts, new sources of revenue growth to grow the shareholders value and PR’s/more communications of confidence from LQMT.
Hype and speculation and a lack of great potential just doesn’t do it any more for a company that has not fulfilled any of those speculations theories and perceived potentials in over twenty years!!
Not that I or anyone else would mind if those hype dreams and well wishes and theories would work to rocket up the share price.
As stated a gazillion times: with anemic trading volumes the share price means BUBKIS! and so too does another picture of a product using Liquidmetal, without the big long overdue 8K.
Perhaps in 2025 or 2026 LQMT might succeed and if they ever do make it in 2024 all in it will be very thankful and glad that they did.
FOMO lives and is probably the main reason why anyone holds on regardless of any other opinion at this time. Not wanting to take a loss at this point may be another.

Unfortunately LQMT can still hit the 02’s. Not my wish. The performance of LQMT will decide that.
From looking at events upcoming, the share price should hold from the 0.04’s and higher for the next three months.
No matter what anyone’s views or opinions are about LQMT, here’s to looking to its success in 2024.
At least the first week without good, bad or indifferent reasons headed in the right direction.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
Wish TC and all of the executives luck.
Actually, over the course of the past few years that is exactly the type of volumes LQMT has been experiencing and how the share price moves up and down. Most of the times the share price moves down following the trend of LQMT’s declining revenues and disappointing results. Once in awhile there are a few wash, rinse and repeat hiccups and pauses of that trend. Although everyone at first hopes or believes the new hiccup is the start of something big or something potentially big. It turns out to be just another nothing burger.
So two things are in play here. Ironically it does in fact take unfortunately a few hundred thousand shares to move the share price sometimes up or down a penny over a short period of time and I do believe from my own experience in investing and listening to other professional investment advisors, that TC bought shares because he does in fact expect the share price to go higher from the price paid for at some point in time.
Good luck to you.
Have you been reading my posts?
Could not tell from that last statement.
Gee, how long have I been hinting at that, Hmmm?
It’s not that the company did not want to share more of what is going on or speculate on what might occur.
Since LL has been invested and in control it appears there is a muzzle in place over anyone wanting to disseminate information. They have been historically shown the exit door. Another muzzle was placed on domestic manufacturing.
Yes one would think the picture of another company’s product using and bragging about Liquidmetal would be worth a thousand words or more by the company and not just a still frame on a blog.
Switching gears…
There’s plenty of room for LQMT’s gears/pinions here….

It’s not about the length of time it takes to become successful. It’s about the length of one’s pockets.
Maybe next year we can all celebrate the next new years with a toast to champagne from Liquidmetal. :)
They are not employees. And according to the new sales contracts I counted they don’t appear to be sales representatives either. More like consignment representatives. If a lead leads to a purchase they get paid. Sort of like a street vendor of years ago. Or the door to door vacuum cleaner sales rep. Not too successful unless you happen to get lucky and find a Henry Ross Perot.
I don’t think those reps so far comes close to a Henry Ross Perot.
:)
Employees work. I think they closer resemble employers. :)
I can look at everything from all angles and not just the narrow minded theories based on direct observations of purported expansion of amorphous metals from abroad and wondering why hasn’t it trickled down into this hemisphere.
In essence china’s manufacturing has decreased recently for three consecutive months. Manufacturing is contracting. China pumps money into there economy to help internal demand. They have decreased interest rates too, to help.
Here is the problem. China doesn’t want to depend on expansion of foreign orders to improve manufacturing. They view this as competition. They don’t want to rely on exports. They don’t want to help the competition. Who can blame them. They want to be number one by any means. Fair or unfair doesn’t apply.
Now to me this view sounds crazy, when I apply it to LQMT. Especially since LQMT’s orders and new orders from what I can see doesn’t mean squat and would have zero impact. But if it is a political point or a cultural one, then one does not want to be on the wrong side of the government’s goals in any country, especially in China. Not that our government is perfect either. For both use their powers to achieve their desired outcomes right or wrong.
In other words it’s not the size of the contracts to be exported. It’s the view of you either support the government or you are out of favor with the government.
LL walks a very narrow tightrope. He doesn’t make the rules, but he has to support them.
Now if manufacturing continues to contract to a point where it is severely impacting economic growth, then China will probably open up the export floodgates and welcome competition from abroad.
It’s ironic that LQMT has a manufacturing agreement with China but no increase in demand for all of that manufacturing capacity they touted years ago as the stumbling block to fulfill orders to succeed in successful growth and increase shareholder value.
The above is an example of how far and wide I can speculate on what is holding LQMT back.
But unfortunately speculation and theories up or down doesn’t do donkey dust to alter the realistic facts that LQMT has been pumping out every three months, be those facts positive or negative.
You mention how long winded and nothing new was in my post for the last week of 2023. But nothing I write can be as long winded with nothing new and just as realistic as every 10Q LQMT files every three months.
If I based my posts on anything else but my focus on the LQMT my post’s would not be honest or have much integrity. Not only that, but they would be in total conflict of the truth.
You look at the long term charts, the trading volumes, the interest, the liquidity, the actual accounting data reported, the actual PR announcements if any and other filed forms. You look at the concerns of other shareholders for example: lack of communications. Then you look at what has transpired during the course of one week. Sometimes something new pops up. Most of the times nothing new pops up and when that happens as is the norm you get a weekly summary of nothing new.
Don’t shoot the messenger if LQMT has anemic trading volumes, anemic liquidity, anemic interest and on and on. I’m not operating the company I invested in. I’m only reporting on what the data shows and where it might lead to up or down today, tomorrow and not much further.
I gave up being the sheep and tagging along, along time ago, when LQMT disappointed year after year, rumor after rumor, speculation after speculation and IP rights after IP rights sales and on and on.
And I Thank God your here to present another point of view.
To sum it up. From a $$$ point of view. Liquidmetal is still in its infantile stages. But like some suggest, guess which infant is receiving most of that $$$ Liquidmetal formula. Clue: it’s not LQMT.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
Wish TC luck.
The USA infants need some $$$ formula too!
It’s been 24 months.
Looks familiar? Déjà vu? Now take your time. And I do mean take your time.
From Yihao to Liquidmetal and others.
Just in case anyone thought the hinge too wasn’t a BMG product.

After all the gentleman did ink the bottom line. He might be able to help.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
Wish TC luck.
In the case of LQMT. The only thing solid right now is the $23+ million dollars they have in liquid resources, cash + debt investments and not Liquidmetal sales to keep LQMT operating as a going concern as stated in their last 10Q and factually backed up by both their previous 10Q’s and 10K’s.
Anything else in the area of “SOLID” is wishful thinking theories of what might take place in the field of amorphous metal without one shred of fact .
All of these theories are currently unsupported by LQMT’s own risks and cautions in LQMT’s filed 10K’s as well and historical sales since inception over the past 34 years.
And as time goes by (forget about patents and trademarks) new materials are created every year to create a new market for one, where another new material failed to do so due to its strict limitations and costs.
Without contracts and new sources for revenue. Just like today when you ask anyone who hasn’t bought a share in LQMT about LQMT. They will tell you…LQMT who??? That’s the future solid outlook without contracts.
The rest is just wishful thinking to soothe the emotional pain for one’s own decision to roll the dice in LQMT.
I look at the dice roll as a disappointment for the executive’s failures to make LQMT a success, while being forced to allowing others with deeper pockets to succeed or fail.
The logic in my mind to hold on is the cash and the stock options. All of which, obviously hasn’t done anything historically to hasten a successful contract yet.
Only an insider or recent former insider would have a clue as to what is preventing LQMT from a mega deal. Three years ago even BB expressed that LQMT was very close to one by expressing is own feelings for looking forward to the year 2021.
If anyone outside of LQMT tells anyone differently about LQMT and hints at any form of imminent success or a huge growing market out there for Liquidmetal. You would have to conclude the Christmas tree they gathered around last year must have been the Ganja tree and not the pine or artificial pine.
Not saying it can’t happen. But if anyone feels it’s going to take another decade or two or three for LQMT to grow. I think there are at least 6000 other investment strategies out there to make money or park your hard earned income.
Sounds to me like another sales pitch based like the ones flim flam market gurus use to support a reason to get in on the opportunity of a lifetime.
Good luck to you.
You too can see through the BS
Perfectly summed up from 2017 to the present.
Absolutely 1000% correct.
Another week passes. This is the last week of trading for the year 2023. The LQMT share price is down 2% from 0.06075 cents to 0.0595 cents on extremely weak trading volumes and little interest. The same when LQMT moves up or down and I do mean little interest in the stock. LQMT gets a pass this week, especially today. Normally trading is light Christmas week into the new year. Down15% for the year.
While all in LQMT continue to focus on what is left of the share price rise, contracts have not yet materialized and as accurately predicted here on this board, the share price has begun to pull back as stated in a few of my posts.
Another poster here Eagle1947, who I hope is well, coined it best. “Another wash, rinse and repeat cycle “.
Now one would think, myself included, with all of the hoopla of LQMT showing a new product on the LQMT blog and the CEO buying a million shares or so and trading volumes (rising) quadrupling, plus speculations, and showing some potential, that the share price would continue to go up and up and hold. Right? After all, an insider doesn’t buy stock to see the share price go back down. So I was told here on this board. Right?
Not so fast. LL is the biggest insider and TC has his own reasons for buying. And just because an insider buys it doesn’t mean the stock can’t fall back down after the pop in the share price. And yet every now and then a genius will come along and tell me and everyone else who disagrees, they are wrong!
Ok, so I guess I’m wrong, when I see the stock more than doubles from 0.03 cents and goes up above 0.07 cents and then hits the 0.04’s. I guess that didn’t happen. Well maybe in la la land it doesn’t happen. But in the real world, reality happens and reality can go either way.
Unfortunately for anyone stuck in la la land as well as those stuck in reality land and in between, it (the share price) goes in a direction based on demand for the stock and sometimes that demand is increased or decreased based on performance of a company and not just, “ I feel something good is about to happen because it hasn’t happened for a long long time.”
Many still don’t get it! You need actual new contracts and new sources of revenue growth to grow the shareholders value. Hype and speculation and a lack of great potential just doesn’t do it any more for a company that has not fulfilled any of those speculations theories and perceived potentials in over twenty years!!
If people see the potential of a stock price going up, they will buy it at 0.03 cents just as quickly as they would buy it at $100 dollars or more a share.
Just take a quick walk down memory lane with Apple or Amazon!! So there is no wrong time to buy unless there is no great potential. If there’s potential like some are hyping. Then there never is a wrong time to buy. Be it at a penny or one hundred dollars a share.
The wrong thing to do imho, is to mock someone else for buying at a certain price and then tout how much great potential there is for years while watching the share price hit new all time record lows over a period of seven years. In the real world if that ever happened, all might think, that type of thinking is synonymous with a jackass.
It’s like saying you have an open door policy but a closed mind. For seven years now with a few pauses and hiccups, momentum for LQMT, unfortunately has been heading south of the border while the markets have been heading north. And while amorphous metal growth for LQMT has been heading south. Amorphous metal growth abroad appears to be heading north.
Not that I or anyone else would mind if those dreams and well wishes and theories would work to rocket up the share price.
Heck if a new maze pops the price. I’m all for it. But after awhile it’s time to put a stake in it and bury it.
Aside from an insider purchase it looks like LQMT found a few new dice rollers as the SP has stalled. Typical of LQMT’s behavior until it heads south again. Looks like it was only an early winter storm that just turned out to be a snow flurry or rain shower.
As stated a gazillion times: with anemic trading volumes the share price means BUBKIS! and so too does another picture of a product using Liquidmetal, without the big long overdue 8K.
Anyone see a released PR? Not yet. No!
The current price rise is based on speculation of an insider purchase and expectations and speculations of a new contract to be announced within three months. Nothing wrong with that. After all it beats FOMO for holding on. But you need an actual increase in trading volumes of at least 2 to 3% of the float to support an increase in share price from any reason.
Now in 2023 and in prior years on this board you read many times the reason for the low volumes daily is that all of the long term shareholders are not selling.
Bullshit. Number one, The entire outstanding float is not all held by individuals holding shares. But let’s agree this time. The more obvious problem for low volume trading this time is not that anyone is not selling. Nope, it is those that are buying right now don’t really see the potential of this going much higher than 0.15 to 0.18 cents to make a quick buck. Or they just want to add and buy with the expectations of someone else bidding the stock higher or some just want to average lower. For if the potential was greater than that. Don’t you think the new buyers of LQMT stock would be buying shares in the millions right now if they thought LQMT was going to a dollar soon? For that matter, so too would the ones bragging how they want to buy shares but apparently don’t even have a pot to piss in. In essence they are again admitting, this board has it described correctly. Not backed up by opinions, but by the actual price movements and actual executive results as stated in every SEC document filed for LQMT.
And if that were not the case, a bid of 10 cents 20 cents 40 cents or 50 cents by bidders expecting this to rise to a dollar and higher definitely would have raised the volumes above 10 million shares as many would have sold part or all of their holdings.
Where are the LQMT market gurus who once shouted and touted: LQMT is the opportunity of a lifetime? Where are the apologies to those who were enticed? Or are the buyer beware disclaimers the way out. Better yet, where is the honesty and integrity of a market guru just admitting when one is wrong?
I remember one genius telling me of LQMT’s success, that it will happen, by comparing LQMT to a broken clock which has the correct time of day twice each day. Imo, not exactly a good investment strategy.
Of course I could be wrong. But watching the drip of anemic shares trading daily, weekly, monthly and annually has me brainwashed. However even others have noticed and have commented a few times on the shares trading using the word “boring” or phrase “daily dipsy doodle crap!”. Who could disagree? Not me.
It does suck. Its reality. Maybe one day the reality will be in our favor too.
These volumes have so many brainwashed that when they actually hit a million or so shares trading in a day, they think the trading volumes are good just because they double tripled or quadrupled. Wake up! They are still anemic!!!
Perhaps in 2025 or 2026 LQMT might succeed and if they ever do make it in 2024 all in it will be very thankful and glad that they did.
FOMO lives and is probably the main reason why anyone holds on regardless of any other opinion at this time. Not wanting to take a loss at this point may be another.
I try to present a balanced view based on the facts not on the emotions of anyone hyping or bashing LQMT. I believe I nailed it correctly. This board has had it correct past and present from potential to expectations to hope to FOMO.
Unfortunately LQMT can still hit the 02’s. Not my wish. The performance of LQMT will decide that.
TC’s purchase stopped the slide and created new interest. But without new contracts, how long can that last? And minuscule contracts once a year only causes more wash rinse and repeat cycles.
From the hype and possibilities of a contract of any size, it should hold the share price from 0.04 and higher for the next three months.
No matter what anyone’s views or opinions are about LQMT, here’s to looking to it’s success in 2024 and here’s to everyone having a safe, healthy and Happy New Year!
May God bless everyone.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
Wish TC and all of the executives luck.
Let’s hope the wisdom of LL pays off.
After all this is the year of the Rat in China.
Perhaps some of his success will rub off here too.
You, me and everyone else in this example of how not to excite the outside world or grow a company over a period of 35 years old private and public.
There was a big if in the post of Chip.
If it’s not movano it will be another company contract down the road that will move the LQMT needle north. Aside from watching the sp slide south and wanting to stop the bleeding, it is probably another reason tc bought shares.
For both companies are constantly living off of dilution and cash burn assets or loans.
Absolutely correct. I didn’t list all of the 405 million reasons. However, yours is another one. I’m sure there may be upside reasons too. None of them yet proven but 100% hoped for.
But I do believe selling of control is not what LL is looking for. That would open the door to competition that LL wants (the ccp wants) control of.
