Here is my take: since there was no contract announcement regarding using LiquidMetal in Apple, I doubt that we will see an announcement tomorrow.

It very well could be that we have no major production contracts announced around the Apple event. Prof. Li might have built the manufacturing facility to attract production contracts. Again, I am hoping for a surprise. That's just a wait-and-see.

I have no doubt that this company will have a successful launch in the coming months. I have no doubt that the share price will continue to climb. Patience has paid off in the last year, and will continue to do so IMO. Prof. Li stated that his goal is NASDAQ, $4.00 a share, and I'll be holding this until then and beyond.

Hold on man. That is your best bet.

Other reasons for holding:
1) if you sell and are trying to time the bottom of the dip, you may miss the bottom waiting for the funds to clear - now 2 days.
2) if you sell at a gain, you need to set aside a portion for capital gains. After taxes, it is possible that you might only end up where you started or lower with regard to number of shares - but at a higher cost basis.
3) if you sell at a loss, you need to worry/deal with the 30 day wash rule. http://www.investopedia.com/terms/w/washsalerule.asp

Timing the dips to buy at the bottom is for the geniuses among us or the extremely lucky, of which I'm neither.

Sometimes it is best to go on your initial instincts and all the positive stuff you have offered ... selling will make your wallet a little more full but it will be real hard to re-commit and then hope that your bank account will be the bloated entity.

It's darkest before the dawn and all that dribble .....
