I agree fully but Mr. Steipp (and LQMT in general) stays in a MTA with Apple right now. This will and can be the only reason for me for that kind of transparent information style.
And if so he's doing his job very accurate and almost anxious.
Yes, I heard and will call him. He sounded very approachable. Perhaps I can get more marketing strategy details and / or if they'll have any representation at the ENGEL symposium.
BOTTOM LINE: LQMT is a NEW product line MTRN co-developed (big $$) and brought on even as they are cost-cutting and removing other lines from their offerings.
In other words, Mr. Hipple and mgmnt. see LQMT as part of their LONG TERM projected growth in revenues.
It was FUN to hear a fund analyst ask about LQMT.
One THESIS: MTRN has 155 funds holding their stock. The analysts will look at LQMT and MIGHT influence future LQMT stock purchases thru individuals in their sphere of influence down the road.
