“Poor marketing skills lead to these two catastrophic monetary decisions.”

Unfortunately it was much more than just poor marketing skills.

The material was too costly to commercialize. Everyone but the sucker investors kept in the dark new this as Steipp diluted the crap out of the company to keep it afloat.

The best marketing skills in the world couldn’t overcome this obstacle. Engel failed and couldn’t overcome it.
Materion couldn’t overcome it. Steipp working with Apple couldn’t overcome it.

Li is saying he has overcome this issue with low cost bmg and low cost machines, and put his own 64 million and no salary behind this statement.

We are still waiting on Li to show us the reality! His cash won’t last forever and there is nothing much left of Liquidmetal to dilute anymore.

So we will know soon.

LQMT in the past two years has burned through 40% of it’s cash.

Yes. Yes they have. But I know you understand the big picture. I.e., thank goodness they had the cash on hand to spend it on what they needed to spend it on. You can’t sell from an empty shelf, nor can you manufacture much of anything in their former 15,000 sq. ft. facility. Imagine how impressed potential customers were when they toured the former physical plant and learned about how LQMT existed from year to year on expensive financing from venture capitalists.

There are plenty of things that we can justifiably complain about, but their spending $24M over the past two years is not one of them.
