Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

If it is related to Apple, I won't be complaining. In fact, I found that MTRN is supplying, at least, gold to Apple. AAPL disclosed that in a public filing of the recently adopted SEC regs requiring the disclosure of "conflict" materials, so those same conflict Regs won't require disclosure if the materials are from a U.S. source. I'm just very curious as to MTRN's numbers and if there is something that will blow estimates out of the water. It hasn't run that much, but it has had a very nice run and passing 52 week highs is an interesting point considering the flatlining of the markets at this point in time.

There was the video of 2+ years ago with Vidal saying he was trying to convince potential customers that beryllium had incredible uses, if handled properly, and then they announce Lockheed Martin using their beryllium-based products just this past June. Hipple did a great job in foresight regarding seeing tightening worldwide beryllium supplies and ramping up the facility, but in my humble opinion - that's Vidal calling the shots on that. You know it - and I know it - that Apple will listen to a guy like Vidal.

I just cannot figure to what extent MTRN is pushing LQMT. We haven't heard much lately and that's why I see this c.c. as somewhat intriguing - "somewhat," because the last time Hipple talked about LQMT and the "let your mind play tricks with it" as to the potential, it hasn't amounted to much and that was at least 2 c.c.'s ago.
