Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

[Surfint]

As other posters have pointed out, the company is worth what they can get for their IP and/or "on the cusp" (to be realized n the future, maybe) defense contract ... Maybe down the road, maybe when MTRN buys them out.

THey have real competition emerging out of Caltech that sounds better than what they currently have.

If I were a big company looking to make future investments further down the road, I'd be taking a closer look at Caltech's recent patents instead of LQMTs older ones, especially if the more recent patents cover capabilities that are easier to implement.

The post on the Caltech activity did it for me. If I were MTRN, I'd be looking at Glassimetal instead.
