Great explanation of the process that many here seem to think is as simple as milking a cow. Most naysayers are already aware of this and are simply looking to manipulate IMHO. This is a revolutionary technology that does not happen overnight hence all the delays, dissapontments and dystopia. I am merely a voice of reason many others here have done the difficult and persistent dd that has opened the door to all of the secrecy that goes hand in hand with emerging technologies.

Sounds 1000% correct. They had 28 manufacturing sales reps according to Bruce. And only PH and MM were their sales team. And both of them are gone. You got it. KK is their sales rep. for the country.

There are a couple very obvious reasons why LQMT doesn't sell and it's not that there is not an inside sales force. Not that it's a new technology or a new industry. And certainly not that over the past 15 years LQMT hasn't caught the attention of some engineer via an Engle symposium, a medical trade show in San Diego, or a History Channel TV show.

LQMT hasn't sold because the material is not what it is purported to be. It's not super shiny and doesn't come in a multitude of colors. It doesn't come perfectly out of a mold. It's not stronger than titianium. It does not hold an edge longer than a razor blade kept inside a pyramid. And it doesn't bounce higher than your average pinball.

Over the past 15 years most certainly many people have looked closely at implimenting LQMT for their widgets and have quietly said "Nope, that dog don't hunt."

On top of this, LQMT and the implementation of LQMT products is also very, very expensive.

On the other hand, what LQMT has sold well over the past 15 years are shares of stock.

Thanks for that explanation of the sales force (or lack of) employed by LQMT. It sounds reasonable and explains some of the shortcomings .....

Gotta wonder however if they have employed this sales model because the material just is not ready to be commercialized or because they believe at some point it will sell itself.

As for this old timer I'm just hoping to live long enough to experience the unveiling of the expected disruptive change in the demand for materials like LQMT.

Thanks again, I'm either learning a lot this morning or once again suffering from the delusion of HOPE that this "investment" of mine is (was) a wise decision.
