Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (QB) (LQMT) News

Still a POS.

Who will buy my 600,000+ shares so I can use my losses against real stocks with real gains?

TC has an option to purchase 10 million shares from the company at $0.07/share….he has to pay LiquidMetal $700k to get the shares. He can then do anything he wants with them. If the shares are significantly above the $0.07, he can go to a lending institution and, for a fee, they may front the cash on short term basis but he needs the cash to start the process.

Why does he have to put up anything at a higher strike price?

As usual I could be wrong, but i think all he has to do is exercise them, sell them during the same transaction and the cost to buy is subtracted from any gains. He then just profits from the difference.

A second reason to buy at $0.05 or $0.06 is that in order to exercise the options on 10 million shares at $0.07, he has to put up $700,000 in real money…..he may be using this to “cushion” the cash flow. Ideally one should wait and exercise the options when the stock price is higher…say $0.30 thus buying $3 million in stock for $700k and then selling about a third of it to pay the taxes on the $2.3 million gain which are due immediately.

Having 2 million shares at $0.30 means he has the $700k to exercise the options (almost) and selling a third of his 10 million shares covers the taxes leaving him with 6.5 million shares at a new cost basis of $0.30.

Of the 10 million shares TC was granted…2.5 million have vested but these are options to purchase shares @ $0.07 which makes no sense if they are in the “red”. It’s an opportunity to lock in another 40% when it goes to $0.07. Also works as a show of confidence in the future.

Why would he do this when he will receive 7.5M shares a year from now?

It’s obvious that’s all you did was look at the chart

But they could be used in the millions of parts for auto vehicle windshield wiper motor gear boxes and power windows as well. Also in other industry vehicles as well. Defense, boats and aircraft.

It’s a billion dollar industry. And they could be used in equipment used in cold whether climate. The pins for snowblowers would be ideal and would save the consumer money replacing them..

We can answer the problems but have no answers for why LQMT have no answers for the solutions outsiders post.

Due to lack of communications and transparency the end result will always have negative consequences. Not just my opinion but the opinions expressed on every LQMT board across the www.

The glass transition temperature is more important than the melt point…far too low for landing gear. The lower Tg is what allows BMGs to be molded at reasonable temperatures.

Funny thought …consider the “bouncing ball demo” as it applies to landing gear and the pilot reporting “I can’t keep this thing on the ground”,

Just looked at the RKLB chart. Are you kidding?? It’s a disaster

The melting temperatures.

There is also a website …. RocketlabUSA

https://www.rocketlabusa.com/

Elon Musk is good but there is a company doing even better who makes rockets out of composite material and 3D prints its engines…. Yes … I am invested in it and I believe this guy is more of a genius than Elon and definitely Honest, responsible, and communicative about all he does ….. 2/3rd’s satellite builder and 1/3 Rocket business ….. compare this company to LQMT ….. this is how a real company is run.

I am not here to sell the company…. I am in with both feet and then some but I would sure has hell you tube it and Google it …. Take your mind off this LQMT for a minute. These guys could use this technology but I am starting to believe LQMT is not here for business.

The company is Rocketlab USA
RKLB Went public Sept 2021 and look at their growth. This is how a company should be run.

MM’s can’t raise the ask to a nickel, seriously?

Elon Musk is a visionary entrepreneur who creates the environment that encourages people to get things done…he is a risk taker as long as it get him closer to some ethereal goal….he is also a jerk and frequently wrong but recovers well.

His move to using MegaMachines to mould the rear section was masterful…he made it happen because he wouldn’t take “no” for an answer…..at this point he understands the advantages of robotic moulding as a manufacturing technology and it will take someone like him to get this puppy moving.

Maybe we need to make a connection to colonizing Mars…Vacuum moulding is so much easier to achieve in space. The whole purpose of the Boring Company is to develop the technology to build subterranean cities…on Mars. The man is obsessed.

Like throwing a bone to a pack of dogs!

I don’t believe anyone here is a rocket scientist.
And not all glassy metals are created equal. There are hundreds of articles on amorphous metals, glassy metals, bulk metal glass AKA BMG.

Here’s one that might be helpful…

https://www.nature.com/articles/am2011149

And since not everyone invested in LQMT is a rocket scientist, again it might be very helpful if the executives of LQMT could break down in layman’s terms the limitations and not just the potential possibilities of it’s amorphous metal uses.

Could be another reason why very few new investors come in and why the trading volumes remain low. If you don’t understand the investment then one tends not to invest. Just as one does not buy a product they cannot understand. When that happens dice rollers tend to rely on rumors, hype, market guru guessing and word of mouth. It probably explains why dice rollers are pissed off. After a while you can become disgruntled. After a long while, pissed off.

Again, I believe all of this outside expression of negativity can be alleviated by the company using the blog to be more transparent with the limitations, more realistic with the possibilities and updating progress without disclosure as they have done with the surprising MIM request recently.

Good luck to all in LQMT.
Wish TC luck.

Does this rule out LQMT in the use of aircraft bearings?

https://www.ggbearings.com/en/why-choose-ggb/ggb-advantage/aerospace/landing-gears

https://www.techspray.com/guide-to-degreasing-landing-gear-assemblies

Heat may not be the only factor that may rule out amorphous metals.

Simple blog updates would clear up all of shareholder’s concerns.
There are stress factors too.

https://www.aerospacemanufacturinganddesign.com/article/spherical-plain-bearings-excel-in-landing-gear-applications/

But not every area where gears are used reach these levels of extremes. Dentistry is one area. Bicycles are another. I’m sure we can come up with a list of over a hundred applications for LQMT’s use.

I don’t think that is our problem. More transparency from LQMT would clear all of this up. Transparency seems to be the problem.

A shareholder should not have to be a metallurgist to invest in LQMT.

“Key Liquidmetal technology process attributes include precision, strength, surface finish, corrosion resistance, hardness, and high elasticity. These attributes result in a broad range of automotive application categories that could benefit from the technology. Among them include engine timing systems, fuel injection, interior and exterior decorative components, passenger safety components, pumps, sensors, severe duty connectors, and many others.”

Heat?

https://vacaero.com/information-resources/vac-aero-training/687-heat-treatment-of-landing-gear.html

Might want to hear from some of the metallurgists here, I am not remotely in that space, however my understanding is that BMG has a relatively low melt point compared to other materials. Aircraft landing gear bearings? Sounds red hot to me.

Bingo

By the way LQMT, trunnions are considered to be bearings and not just used exclusively for airlines.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trunnion

20 sales reps and all I see is crap quarter after quarter in the thousands and not in the millions. Even a fricken cotter pin made out of amorphous metal can save snow blowers from breaking down and can save the consumer money and time wasted and would be worth the extra expense. Market the damn thing yourself under the LQMT brand name or sell it to the manufactures of all major snowblowers. Get off of your rear ends and don’t let the door hit you where your brains are and sell sell sell. So that shareholders don’t keep on selling selling selling!!!

I don’t know if wheel bearings are the number one cause of landing gear failures. But I do know that having the highest quality material as part of all landing gears should certainly be the first concern of both airlines, FAA and the CAB. Amorphology inc. manufactures gears that require zero to little lubricants. If landing gears can be made safer to prevent failures, then again, certainly it should be a FAA, CAB concern as well as an airline company concern to reduce loss of life and the high costs of structural damage as a result of landing gear failures be it from a trunnion pin to hydraulic failure to structural fatigue etc. it’s worth approaching airlines, the FAA and the CAB, whether or not bearing failures are the number one reason landing gears fail.

It would be worth for LQMT to explore this component as just pointed out. What do you have to lose TC & DM for trying? I know we lose, when you do not. Just look at the revenues…

Dear Tony C. here’s something to do besides losing all our money.

A friend, an American Airlines pilot and instructor, mentioned that the biggest failure of modern-day aircraft is Aircraft Landing Wheel Bearings. Tony, that’s a lot of aircraft wheels. Timken Corporation manufactures those bearings. Perhaps introducing Liquidmetal to Timken as a new material would solve their problem and ours of money/bearing failure. Using Liquidmetal as a material solution for Aircraft Wheel Bearings seems to me to go hand in hand. Amorphology, again and again, another Liquidmetal partner, may also look into the manufacture of Aircraft Landing Wheel Bearings.

Tony, instead of waiting for Timken.com to come to you at the next Trade Show, how about you get off your butt and give them a visit. All your investors would chip in and buy you an airline ticket; let’s hope the plane wheels hold up when you land.

Ok, 20 sales reps, here is a freebie. Let's get crackin.

Show us revenue stream from Sony headphones and liquidmetal eyeglasses please. Otherwise I call bullshit.

Argo

New materials seem like they always reach the defense departments first and then the public. From clothing to hardware. It’s why defense companies thrive. The budgets for defense globally. They are a huge part of government spending. I bet on Loral a long time ago. LQMT had a couple shots at defense. Amorphology is trying. Even with that said. The public mega cap companies are not buying and LQMT has not been able to or refuses to change the way they market and to who they market too.

Even with all of the new optimism, the light on LQMT grows dimmer and dimmer despite the minuscule bump up in revenues this year.

The wax on this investment has grown cold. LQMT needs an executive who knows how to rekindle its flame or maybe a couple of former Boy Scouts who can show them how to use a flint stone.

The first example I would volunteer is the Hong Kong Liquidmetal eyeglass frames that we never saw a dime from. And, what about those Asia-only Sony headphones? Another zilch for LQMT investors.

But let me approach your question a different way. Shortly after Eontec bought their way into LQMT there was a LQMT issued press release about the capabilities of our new partner, Yihao. Remember them telling us about all that production space? Remember how they told us all that space contained BMG machines, like: hundreds of machines in hundreds of thousands of square footage?

Was this Yihao press release bullshit or is that facility being used for say.....to use the words of @chipboarder....military stuff.

Two happy things I just remembered. Tony said there were good things in the works earlier this year. I just rediscovered the ignore this member button

PURE SPECULATION……..I realize it’s probably 2 weeks before the earnings report so this can’t happen now BUT. What if LiquidMetal issued an 8K announcing that TC has purchased an additional million shares of LQMT at an average price of $0.05?

The world would read all sorts of things into it.

I guess they don’t have a choice do they?
It’s definitely not going up.
Anything over 0.07s anytime soon and the real LQMT USA liquidation begins.
Good luck old man!

No I won’t be buying today….but on Monday someone sold/bot 1,000,000+ shares in the 0.04’s….I guess they are planning to ride it to zero!

So you’re adding @0.04s tomorrow morning first thing ? Right? I bet.
83must be old? Wait till you’re 85 wow

You seem really obsessed with the fact that I’m 83. If LQMT went to $0.10 or $0.20 or $0.30 in the next few years…I wouldn’t sell. Perhaps at $0.50 I would part with 20% depending on the dynamics. Why would one invest in a stock for 10 years just to break even?

Quote from my Grandmother about the stock market in the 1920’s….” A good stock is one that doubles in a week”.

Who would be stupid enough to buy more LQMT tomorrow after this stock and company has FAILED EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE OVER AND OVER THE LAST 8 YEARS.??
Are you buying to bring down your LQMT losses tomorrow @0.04s ? No? Why not? Because you don’t expect to make anything more than 0.10 on LQMT USA in the next 2yrs?
Disingenuous to say the least you Don’t you want to make up for those LQMT paper
losses ? That’s the point now right now in LQMT the current losses of your initial investment here now. You are lost . THROW GOOD MONEY AFTER BAD?
Ever heard of that. Who’s going to be doing that tomorrow buying more LQMT @0.05? Millions of people investors? Doubt that and bet they won’t! Get over it? Get over losing money invested here in LQMT? What ? I don’t know about you but I invested here to make money. Interesting investment strategy strategy to just get over losing money in an investment? Different strategies ? Hmmm
That’s the point today and tomorrow with LQMT. You get over it already! And I thought really old people were smart?! Wrong again

You can buy LQMT for $0.05 tomorrow…….any paper losses I have is from what happened in the past….water over the dam and not important.

Focus on what IS important and get over it.

You must be blind . You were an engineer? Doubt that.
Your math and reasoning is flawed to say the least.
Nobody has a LQMT buy in avg of 0.05 .
Not LUGEE Li not TC and definitely not you. You have substantial paper losses in LQMT USA just like everyone else has here. Fact.
Waiting 2yrs for a 100% increase isn’t your problem. Your problem is much worse than 0.10 in 2yrs and you can’t admit it to yourself or anyone else.
Your problem is that in 2yrs you will be 85 yrs old and likely unable to continue posting false theories or views about a FAILED INVESTMENT in a company like LQMT is now. 85yrs old and waiting for a 0.10 in LQMT USA ? Did you go to college?
So you admit that you have very little hope or promise in this company LQMT USA just like everyone else is realizing. 2yrs is a long long time for an 83 year old.

I guess I have a slightly different view….If you do a risk/reward analysis and a share costs $0.05, the maximum potential loss is 100% or $0.05. on the upside, there is no limit but if one uses $0.10 (100% gain) as a benchmark and compare the probability of being zero or $0.10 in some timeframe (say 2 years). …I would say that the $0.10 as a higher probability.

I understand the technology and that is what attracted me to the stock ….I’m in it as an option on the technology..

Gambling or Investing?

The difference between gambling and investing, is that investing is gambling only when the odds are in your favor. Which is to say, at least better than a coin flip.

You make a very good point as well. I agree with that 100 percent. Let’s hope you are the more correct thinker here.

Yes I’m an old engineer (83) but I’ve seen many engineers try to launch ventures…..sometimes they even succeed. Technical people lack expertise in Marketing/Sales/Finance and are generally too narrow in their expertise. The exceptions (Musk, Jobs, Tesla, Hughes) fall somewhere on the autism scale which translates to very high energy, extreme focus on the objective, irrational people skills, obsessive determination and not fun to be with.

Very creative people don’t have the patience to be good at Marketing and Sales so they need to recognize their shortfalls and hire the complimentary skills or sell the company somewhere between the research phase and commercialization. Then they can go and do it again….do what you are good at.

Older than Joe or Donald…

I am not trying to say this is what is happening but I also have the right to assume that it could with the lack of progress with have all seen and experienced and with the lack of information and secrecy that is put out by the company.

I would be very satisfied if management came out and proved me wrong.

Since you are an engineer and Lugee Li is an expert metallurgist wouldn’t you agree he could take part in the building of and the manufacturing of machinery and products to supply a military infrastructure fir the next one hundred years and make way more money $40 mil times a thousand + + then to use it in ways we are imagining.

Now I am going out on a limb here making these assumptions when I may very well be 100 % wrong as well and this company will eventually flourish into a metals company of sorts but as a power hungry country wanting to and actually expanding its military at break neck speed I can see how it would be beneficial to take the technology out of country.

I am not trying to say this is what is happening but I can also have the right to assume that it could with the lack of proof otherwise.

I personally think it’s too late for any lawsuit in my opinion and he would get his $40 mil selling it to the military manufacturers under a different brand or actually no brand at all. Why brand it if you are not selling it to the public?

What are the military benefits of Liquidmetal ?

Liquidmetal, also known as bulk metallic glass (BMG), is a class of amorphous metal alloys known for their unique combination of strength, hardness, elasticity, and corrosion resistance. These properties make Liquidmetal particularly appealing for military applications. Here are some potential military benefits:

1. Superior Strength and Hardness
Increased Durability: Liquidmetal is significantly stronger and harder than conventional metals, making it more resistant to wear, deformation, and damage. This can be highly beneficial for military equipment and weaponry, which must withstand extreme conditions and prolonged use.
Improved Armor: The high strength-to-weight ratio of Liquidmetal can lead to the development of lighter, yet more effective, armor for vehicles, aircraft, and personnel.
2. Elasticity and Impact Resistance
Shock Absorption: Liquidmetal's elasticity allows it to absorb and dissipate energy more effectively than traditional metals. This can improve the performance of components that experience high impact or stress, such as vehicle suspension systems and protective gear.
Enhanced Structural Integrity: Components made from Liquidmetal are less likely to suffer from fatigue or fractures, enhancing the longevity and reliability of military hardware.
3. Corrosion and Wear Resistance
Extended Lifespan: Liquidmetal's resistance to corrosion and wear means that military equipment can remain operational longer, reducing the need for frequent maintenance or replacement.
Performance in Harsh Environments: This resistance is particularly valuable in harsh environments, such as marine or desert conditions, where traditional metals may degrade more quickly.
4. Precision Manufacturing
Complex Geometries: Liquidmetal can be cast into complex shapes with high precision, which is advantageous for manufacturing intricate components that would be difficult or expensive to produce using traditional methods.
Reduced Manufacturing Costs: The ability to cast complex parts directly from molds can reduce machining time and material waste, potentially lowering production costs for military equipment.
5. Lightweight
Enhanced Mobility: The high strength-to-weight ratio of Liquidmetal allows for the creation of lighter equipment without sacrificing durability. This can improve the mobility and efficiency of soldiers and vehicles.
Fuel Efficiency: Lighter components contribute to overall vehicle weight reduction, improving fuel efficiency and range for military vehicles and aircraft.
6. Thermal Stability
Heat Resistance: Liquidmetal retains its properties at a wide range of temperatures, making it suitable for use in environments with extreme thermal conditions, such as high-speed aircraft or weapons systems.
Stable Performance: The material's thermal stability ensures consistent performance and reliability under varying temperature conditions, which is critical for mission success.
7. Applications in Weaponry and Defense Systems
Firearms and Ammunition: The durability and precision of Liquidmetal can enhance the performance and longevity of firearms and ammunition.
Electronics and Sensors: Liquidmetal's unique properties are also beneficial for housing and protecting sensitive electronic components and sensors, which are crucial in modern warfare.
Conclusion
Liquidmetal offers several military benefits due to its unique combination of mechanical properties, including superior strength, elasticity, corrosion resistance, and the ability to be precision-manufactured into complex shapes. These advantages can lead to more durable, lightweight, and efficient military equipment, enhancing overall performance and reducing costs. As research and development in this field continue, the potential applications of Liquidmetal in military contexts are likely to expand.

OK, I’m an engineer, not an attorney but it seems like SOMEONE would like to initiate a lawsuit against LQMT management for being STUPID and that doesn’t fly. It seems that you have to prove intent and some sort of personal gain…aside from a meager California salary…I don’t see a personal gain and the person with the most significant loss is Lugee Li at $40 million. Does he get to recover a portion of his loss? Makes no sense.

Do you think that the Chinese are going to leave a usage trail if it is being used for military purposes ? You are still under the thought that they want to sell products. They may be doing that as well but it may not be under the companies we are aware of. I believe LQMT has more military benefits than golf clubs and rings and so do they. Just food for thought.

If the intent of Lugee Li was to have control of the patents and take them to China then his stock purchase was a success. I believe they are stringing us along a couple million dollars per year loss until we break, quit, and leave so there is less of a possibility for a class action lawsuit then sell the company to someone else for $66 million if they can get it. There is no intent whatsoever to turn this into a business.

Can we as shareholders sue a penny stock company for breach of shareholder rights ?


Yes, as shareholders, you can potentially sue a penny stock company for breach of shareholder rights. Here are some key points to consider:

Grounds for Lawsuit
Breach of Fiduciary Duty:

Directors and officers of a company have fiduciary duties to act in the best interests of the shareholders. If they breach these duties through actions such as self-dealing, fraud, or gross mismanagement, shareholders can sue for damages.
Fraud or Misrepresentation:

If the company or its executives have made false or misleading statements that affected the stock price or your investment decisions, you may have grounds for a lawsuit.
Violation of Securities Laws:

Companies are required to comply with various securities laws and regulations. If the company has violated these laws, such as through insider trading, failure to disclose material information, or engaging in illegal activities, shareholders can sue.
Corporate Governance Issues:

If the company fails to follow proper corporate governance procedures, such as not holding annual meetings or not allowing shareholders to vote on important matters, this can be a basis for a lawsuit.
Types of Lawsuits
Class Action Lawsuits:

Shareholders can band together to file a class action lawsuit if the breach affects a large group of investors similarly.
Derivative Lawsuits:

A derivative lawsuit is brought by shareholders on behalf of the corporation against third parties, often the company’s executives or directors, for actions that harmed the company.
Steps to Take
Consult with an Attorney:

Seek legal advice from an attorney who specializes in securities law or shareholder rights to understand the viability of your case.
Gather Evidence:

Collect all relevant documents, communications, and records that support your claim of breach of shareholder rights.
File a Complaint:

Your attorney can help you file a formal complaint in the appropriate court, detailing the allegations and the damages sought.
Pursue Legal Action:

The lawsuit may involve pre-trial motions, discovery (exchange of information between parties), and possibly a trial or settlement negotiations.
Considerations
Cost and Time: Lawsuits can be expensive and time-consuming. Weigh the potential benefits against the costs and duration of litigation.
Risk: There is always a risk that the lawsuit may not succeed, so consider the strength of your evidence and the likelihood of success.
Impact on Investment: Publicity from a lawsuit can affect the stock price and the company’s operations, which could impact your investment further.
Conclusion
Shareholders have the right to hold a company accountable for breaches of fiduciary duty, fraud, or other violations. Consulting with a knowledgeable attorney is crucial to determine the best course of action and to navigate the complexities of securities litigation.

Deem it however you like…like LQMT USA LUGEE LI TC and your investment it probably is exactly that bull
LQMT USA is a shell company taking all LQMT shareholders for their initial investment. You have lost money on paper just like every other LQMT shareholder has to this point.
