Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

[Wizzer16]

As a business I wonder what everyone would expect the payback or ROE to be for an investment of 64M when the investment takes place in 2016? My guess is Li would have expected more revenue than we have seen.

Were we still on first base in 2016? I'd like to think not!

"How long did it take to perfect Liquidmetal?

I would not say Liquidmetal was perfected. This is a technology that has yet to be matured and perfected both in manufacturing process and application development. I should note that this is a completely new and different metal technology. Therefore, there is no suitable manufacturing infrastructure yet to take full advantage of this alloy technology.

For example, I estimate that Apple will likely spend on the order of $300 million to $500 million -- and three to five years -- to mature the technology before it can used in large scale."
