Just like everything else that's happened...no one can predict where this stock could go in price, because the dynamics are always changing....some months ago, some here laughed at the prospect of LQMT being a few dollars a share...I don't think they are laughing now...

I do not have any verifiable idea where it could go but I can offer this:
•Some of the techs on this board seem to feel there is real potential for the material to be used across a wide array of industries. Beyond Apple, there is slew of applications for LQMT technology, including aerospace, defense, medical devices, dental hardware, and, sports equipment. I’m not 100% certain if they really know what they are talking about, but, they sound credible to me.
•Some folks think the company is poorly managed but I think that may be an exaggeration. The CO appears to have brought the existing resources into the eye of the public and has fostered relationships with some pretty big names in the world of industry.
•There has been some “insider buying” that is similar to another company that was in an analogous situation in the past (EGHT), and, broke though to a multiplier of 30. I sold early in that situation and very much regret my decision.
•The company hired sales companies in the recent past and I suspect did so with an eye toward the existence of some marketable product(s). I see that as positive.
•The prices and story of the stock reminds me of another crazy ride I have had with SIRI. It fell from $8 a share to $.10c before an injection of funds. It then rode wildly up and down until it finally hit over $4 in the recent past.
•Given the volatility of the volume it seems that some entities have the capacity to manipulate the stock prices thereby manufacturing swings in either direction which can bring on either depression or euphoria. If you get in as deep as some you have to be ready to hold on and/or add while tuning out the “white noise”.
•There are certainly a lot of other “irons in the fire” given the many patents held by the company. I do not understand them all but it would appear they could be useful if the business models do begin to come to fruition.
•Finally, I think one needs to set a goal and sell when it (if) is realized. A buddy of mine who works in the commodity business told me he rarely invests in individual stocks because “they” have knowledge that he could never imagine achieving. I have taken that advice very seriously and still wish I had bought and help mutual funds over the last 10 years rather than losing 50% of my portfolio on hopeful wishes.
