Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

[bobroo]

There are a couple very obvious reasons why LQMT doesn't sell and it's not that there is not an inside sales force. Not that it's a new technology or a new industry. And certainly not that over the past 15 years LQMT hasn't caught the attention of some engineer via an Engle symposium, a medical trade show in San Diego, or a History Channel TV show.

LQMT hasn't sold because the material is not what it is purported to be. It's not super shiny and doesn't come in a multitude of colors. It doesn't come perfectly out of a mold. It's not stronger than titianium. It does not hold an edge longer than a razor blade kept inside a pyramid. And it doesn't bounce higher than your average pinball.

Over the past 15 years most certainly many people have looked closely at implimenting LQMT for their widgets and have quietly said "Nope, that dog don't hunt."

On top of this, LQMT and the implementation of LQMT products is also very, very expensive.

On the other hand, what LQMT has sold well over the past 15 years are shares of stock.
