So far the pros and cons for amorphous metal using the LQMT formula. AM cannot be welded to another metal except to itself. It looses its properties and weakens. Thus for now AM are only applicable to a whole part and mechanically must be fitted (threaded screwed or placed) to other parts. This limits it’s applications. On the plus side there are endless parts in use today where parts are not welded but are stand alone pieces used to assist or join other parts to enhance there performance. Be it a gear or a washer or spring, medical or auto etc.
There are millions of uses for AM parts that LQMT is trying to exploit in various industries. They must focus on smal parts not larger than about 6 inches. This is not due to AM limitations but rather machine limitations and the lack of money to build equipment to make larger prototypes. For that you would need millions and a guaranteed demand in advance. A defense contractor would have those type of funds and demand for such a machine.
I/we, are for LQMT succeeding and often are critical in the way LQMT, their executives have performed. But setting all of their faults aside, and their fat unjustified salaries, we should be able to see that they are not showing up at work and just twiddling their thumbs all day.
There has to be an element of frustration for them day after day, week after week, and month after month in failures to nail down a contract worthy of a PR and respect to their shareholders.
There are millions of parts, that can be made by companies using the LQMT process. It is very difficult for me (and perhaps all here as well) to grasp why they are trying to do this one(prototype) part at a time, one company at a time, year after year. It is totally frustrating from a shareholders point of view to see this go on and on and at the same time not understand why they, LQMT, have not changed their marketing strategy.
I would like to believe they have already secured a deal, but their past history and existing executives do not permit me to conclude that, this is the case. Mr Li ‘s silence does not help. We believe he has invested to make money for all of his companies. His LQMT investment seems to have encountered obstacles causing delays. If a company like LQMT, a B.B. micro cap cannot disclose what the obstacles are.
We here, who are also very intelligent, cannot help them to remove the obstacles or find a remedy if LQMT is not forthcoming IMO. There are many posters here who have experience in the business world and can help. But they say you cannot clap with one hand and that is how many here feel about LQMT, when it comes to their release of information.
There are many pros and cons to this investment, this dice roll. Whether the pps is at .06 or .25 the pros and cons remain the same. The speculations and frustrations remain the same and so will the silence, until they nail down a contract or contracts worthy of our respect and investments.
Good luck to all. 2018 looks like momentum is building for success. We all should be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel this year.
