Materion Corp (MTRN)

[Watts Watt]

What happened to all of the posters that used to frequent this board?

Where is OOO and PDP?

By the way, if you want to reach me, here is as good a place as any.

Of course, I also post at AKS.

Don't know what's happening at LQMT, but, for sure, dilution is coming and that means a plummet. I am not sure how long support can hold at 15. But think we will hold the pennant formation, basically because the main reason for the move up to the 20's was because we got out of debt. that is the only reason, and a very good reason, that the stock made its move up from a nickel. In my way of thinking, this will continue.

Materion is essentially the main key to LQMT;s future revenues. I do believe that Materion will land a customer for and on behalf of LQMT since LQMT just doesn't have the skilled staff to deal with major accounts. Materion has the credibility and the expertise to address any of the issues.

I would like to understand the true relationship of VPC and MTRN.
At present, MTRN, on paper, is simply a supplier to VPC of alloys made by LQMT. However, even VPC must be running out of patience with LQMT who is unable to produce any revenue bearing contract for VPC.

MTRN should have been nominated a co-manufacturer of products made of LQMT alloys. Perhaps VPC will build a secondary partnership with MTRN to allow MTRN to provide a secondary supply, which most customers need and demand, to prevent supply disruption.

It certainly would be in MTRN's interests to have a secondary manufacturing capability, especially if they will be selling parts to any of their aerospace, medical, defense, or non-CE customers.
