Gorgol, you will be missed! I believe that anyone spending time following the LQMT share price and rumor mill DOES deep down believe in positive possibilities, even the ones who are unable to voice those possibilities.
Here's a spin to consider: no matter how selfish and corrupt the members of a public company's board of directors might be, they have fiduciary responsibilities to do what's best for shareholders. Maybe it's possible that they have insider information that makes them think Steipp DOES deserve the compensation he's getting. Maybe they would rather not be sued (or worse) for failing to look out for their company's shareholder's best interests. Maybe it's a REALLY good sign that the BOD seems to like Steipp.
And, maybe it's possible that there ARE secrets inside the company that are REALLY exciting. Insiders don't want to go to jail over insider trading. So maybe the secrets are keeping them from buying large amounts of shares, but maybe that's okay because of stock options granted as part of compensation. Maybe Apple's gag order is SO SCARY that secrets really aren't leaking out of the company, which is why "smart money" isn't buying shares. The other reason smart money isn't buying shares is that this is a highly risky penny stock, but a sustained run-up on good news timed with a well-executed reverse split could change that situation.
Everyone who has been reading this board for more than a week knows that Liquidmetal will not earn direct revenues from Apple for consumer electronics purposes. BUT, to think that Apple using Liquidmetal technology prominently in future products will not increase Liquidmetal's visibility and market cap as a result of the best FREE marketing opportunity of all time is just not thinking clearly. Once Apple shows off Liquidmetal tech in the most flattering way possible, other non-CE companies will see the possibilities of what THEY can do, and they'll come knocking.
Gorgol, you will be missed. I think you should stick around.
