Well hey, you can’t deny that It’s progress right? However slow, it helps build precedence. More companies will follow suit. If it causes ANY growth in revenue, that will show growth. I like to think that Lugee Li is smarter than us. He’s not a gazillionaire, so this investment was a big risk for him. 2.5 years isn’t really THAT long for a new CEO to turn things around and build products. Look at how long Apple delayed the AirPods and the HomePod. They were months behind schedule on small niche products. They are also a huge company with billions of dollars. Sure, you can blame that on Tim Cook, but even the new Steve Jobs-like Icon Elon Musk is way behind schedule... (I actually think Jobs was overrated and that Elon is even MORE of a futurist.)

I think we are light years ahead of 2013 when Engel announced the new machinery. 2013 was light years ahead of 2010 when Apple announced the partnership (when we had Norway to mass produce anything)... where will we be in another 3 years is anyone’s guess but I am optimistic. I’m actually an extreme pessimist usually so this is new territory for me XD.

Unsolicited blather follows: You’re restating what is apparently the general consensus regarding LQMTs viability; it all rests on Li. This stock could be a hot rod, but it needs a decent driver. Too many clowns have put it into the wall in the past and now the fans are gut shot, snake bit, and powder burnt. I suspect Li knows this and is doing his best to husband and manage what good will and patience remains among the stockholders while he works to develop LQMT’s real potential. I definitely share Kanuck’s assessment in that regard. I also believe Kanuck’s overall take on the status quo is as reasonable as can be, based on the mosaic of available information. You can’t account for crazy, but Li’s past record has not demonstrated any manifestations of such, so supporting assumptions to what IS known and verifiable have to be made on the basis of what any reasonable, prudent, motivated, and successful businessman would do in Li’s position. That said, until Li reveals his cards, it’s all a best guess. But a reasonable one. Apologies for the mishmash of metaphors, similes, and analogies. And for calling Kanuck Kanuck - no disrespect intended, it’s just shorthand.
