Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

Interesting analysis you've done but I disagree.

Once Apple uses Liquid Metal in one of its products, LQMT goes straight to $300M-400M market capdue to following factors:

300-$400M is a HUGE speculation. I don't see how the following points you made justify a $275-$375M jump in market cap practically overnight. LQMT will not receive any more revenues from Apple with the current (fully paid) licensing agreement, so every penny that this company will earn is purely speculative. While I don't doubt that a huge apple announcement (use in iphone, iwatch, etc) will cause our share price to jump significantly, it won't be because of market cap, it'll be because of mass investment of day traders. This stock is too speculative for serious institutional investors, and until we get some proven revenues it will stay that way (probably for a long time)

*Apple's discussion of liquid metal's unique characteristics will no doubt have a slew of newswires discussing the new metal as it will be the first time liquid metal has been used in not only a commercial fashion but in consumer electronics...in turn mass america (millions of investors) will be scrambling to own the stock.

*Apple's introduction of liquid metal into any of its products will certainly spotlight liquid metals properties and will in turn have other industries interested in liquid metal applications...in other words expect to see a major surge in commercial interest.

I agree with all of these points. LQMT will receive a huge direct boost in marketing. One of the best provisions of the fully paid license to Apple, is that apple is SO HUGE, that every time their CEO takes a piss there are news wires all over the world covering every detail of the encounter. I expect a big apple announcement to draw serious attention to LQMT and as I said before it will likely increase the share price due to a reduction in shares available, and probably a small speculative increase in market cap, though your figures seem bloated, IMO, but I admire your positivity.


When it comes time to review the license, LQMT will be in a much stronger negotiating position if there are serious rumors about the company being used in Apple, or any other major industry. I believe this is why Steipp has signed on the big time PR guy to run the blog, to try and generate as much interest as possible, so when Apple goes to renew, we can get them for a LOT more money. This company has always been an IP COMPANY. We don't make anything (yet). We make $$$ by licensing and selling IP. The biggest revenue we've experienced in the last 5 years is the apple contract. It seems likely that apple will renew or extend, but I doubt Steipp will give it away for free again.
