Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

[Full4God]

I disagree with part of what you stated. ENGEL was already a very successful company before and without Liquidmetal. I personally do not see ENGEL as putting its reputation on the line with Liquidmetal technology. Nor do I see ENGEL relying on hope to make them a lot of money with the new machines. ENGEL doesn't seem to rely on hope. But, rather, knowing the market intimately, systematically advancing the technology, and determining the right time to introduce it to the world. And it seems like we're now beginning to see the wrapping paper coming off the package--at the right time!

My real concern is that Liquidmetal management might do something (else) stupid and mess the whole shebang up. Hopefully, Hauck (as well as ENGEL and Materion) has enough influence with the board that he can prevent them from doing something (else) stupid.

Addendum: I saw that OTW posted a similar reply after I hit the "Post Message" button. I agree with OTW. Calculated risk and hope aren't quite the same, especially when it comes to adequate preparation.
