Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

[truetrue]

17 APPLE Patents for LQMT revealed in Dec. / Jan. are FACTS not fluff. Admittedly, if I'd ivested 3 -5 years ago I'd be impatient and disappointed in how long it's taking to "get there".

Clearly, APPLE wants to use LQMT for more than an iPhone 3G SIMM card tool in 2010 or there would have been no further patents...makes sense to me.

Meawhile: Nothing I've read persuades me that LQMT is not a real company with a real product overseeing improvements in alloy and mfg. processes with little $$$ outflow from LQMT, thanks to APPLE who are $pending million$ of their R&D talent, time and $$$.

Remember, the company got off to a near disasterous false start and eyes bigger than their stomach. LQMT was not ready for prime time in more ways than one.

***My Take: Steipp came on the same day as the APPLE signing and turned a money pit of a bloated battleship business model around in a typhoon and re-made LQMT into a sleek, prototype engineering and IP licensing company with commissions / licensing fees and royalties from ENGEL, MATERION and VISSER for starters.

That's in the bottom line each "Q".

Let's see if the bottom line grew this "Q" and if a 3-4 year production span LQMT based product will be announced in 3 weeks.
