Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (QB) (LQMT) Share Price

Absolutely agree…the battery/charging system must be addressed in total. The battery technology is very well established so perhaps the focus should start on the charger and its recharge requirements.

An aside…my wife and I have identical FitBits, purchased at the same time/same place. Her battery life is 2 +/- days and mine is 5. We have 2 charging cables and switched without success. Checked whether “notifications” is turned on and the answer is “no” etc. it can be frustrating to say the least.

Excuse my ignorance but I’m not understanding the point being made as it means nothing for LQMT increasing its revenues.

And as far as golf clubs go. LQMT only gets 6%. Since that agreement, which happens to be the last 8K agreement for revenues of any kind almost 3 years ago. I don’t see anything by way of fees or licensing that has translated into any revenues to jump up or shout. Those limited pong companies were just created to enter into a off market restricted share purchase.

the guy who posted that is a nut.

That’s what I thought plus the fact there was no phenomenal trading of the stock up or down.
And they need the income too, to stay on the Nasdaq.

I do hope for our sakes and consumers, that the issue Nerd Beautiful discussed gets resolved. At least it is not due to the LQMT material. I don’t understand why a battery would only last 50 days and then die. Especially with many other products using the same material for batteries. If it were the slight expansion and contraction I think the battery would overheat much sooner.

Again one would think with all of the FDA concerns, this kink would have been worked out a long time ago, before dealing with more serious issues about the accuracy of their software claims based on their trials.

But to be fair not as an investor in the ring company or owner of a Movano product yet. They do make it explicitly clear that the charge will last X amount of days and that the charger will need to be recharged after every 10 charges. Perhaps one may be damaging the other or consumers fail to make sure the chargers are operating properly as well.

Seem like this may be a turn off for some. Even Fitbit watches and Apple Watches for example also have limitations. But if batteries are falling in less than a year or two or three, then it can obviously become a deterrent if it occurs too often.

It’s one thing to update a software glitch. It’s another thing with a battery. There are no downloads.

The more I read about their business approach the more I’m turned off. FDA approval will imo, give them the boost they need to expand sales. That’s a no brainer and hopefully a quick pop in the share price. Then there should be another boost based on expanded business agreements and hopefully back to the consumer. But if they can’t produce a product with almost zero issues in the medical industry, it’s toast.

It is easier to see the IP might be worth more to a company like Apple who like the former bell companies were great at ironing out all of the kinks first exposed by the innovation of others selling directly to consumers and businesses.

In essence the super mega cap companies by laying back, get free trials by watching and listening to users on a grand scale and not just with a few dozen or a few hundred people during a quick trial.

I think LL could have shown them a thing or two or three etc., about patience before rolling out a contract like he has done for us invested in LQMT. :)
Good luck to you.

I used to hunt for new LM patents but those days are long over. I'm always checking for something new and recent about the Liquidmetal Golf and came across this, whatever this is?

Liquidmetal Golf Clubs, Shoe Laces and SEC Filings

Question: What do shoe laces, Liquidmetal Golf Clubs and incomprehensible SEC filings all have in common? ------

Answer: Anthony Pong. - "Matana Ventures, LLC, Parnas Hills LLC, and XEX International, LLC, Have an address owned by Anthony Pong founder and CEO of Caterpy, no-tie shoe laces." (from a recent post in this forum.) ------

Liquidmetal® Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: LQMT) through its majority owned subsidiary, Liquidmetal Golf, has entered into a sub-license agreement with Amorphous Technologies Japan Inc. (“ATJ”), a newly formed Japanese entity established by Twins Corporation, a company operating for over 20 years in the sporting goods industry with direct access to over 3,000 global retail establishments.

https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220119005110/en/Liquidmetal-Enters-Into-Golf-License-Agreement ------

Look at what the Twins corporation is known for: Caterpy (no-tie) shoe laces.

Haven't seen any lumps of coal yet in 21 years... Just lumps. I should have listened to Bill Johnson when he advised selling after the last peak of 1.76 per share. The lumps have been from banging my head since then. Old LQMT soldiers never die, they just fart themselves away into oblivion...

I hear they play the keyboard. 🤣

The SEC investigation is probably dead….their original R/S announcement indicated that fractional shares would be “rounded up” so thousands of people bought a single share in hopes of getting 14 more when the R/S was implemented. MOVE modified the terms to return cash for fractional shares. Seems to me, you should have a separate account for each share but someone worked around that.

This board is a one man band. I am sure he enjoys listening to himself.

A present would be an amazing surprise. After 10 years, I’m tired of lumps of coal.

As ring hits another record low 0.1973 cents at the pre split price and with sales imo, not doing much better than before and discounted prices. LQMT better have more coals in the fire, because right now whatever heat was generated is looking like it is cooling off and when the one pony show is over so too are the 0.04’s for LQMT.

I own no shares in the ring company. As much as they have a very competent team behind the ring. It seems they may have been better off doing a bigger trial before rushing out the first launch imo.

It’s not that they may not have a great product and great ideas. But it is very difficult to overcome integrity issues. Although the public do have short memories themselves.

And if they flop at the second launch. Then the value of the IP becomes the product that gets sold and not the product they are trying to sell.

Similar to what happened to LQMT, but worth more.

And what happened with their investigation. It’s not like they have thousands trading the stock! It’s basic math to me. It still won’t explain what is currently happening, will it?

If they don’t solve the battery issue, FDA approval, won’t either.

Now from an economic point of view. If more tariffs are placed on imports from abroad. And the positive opinions for something big to occur happens from this new group of investors, then it just might be more cost effective to have manufacturing done here in the USA to achieve the highest profit per part.

Now, no matter where manufacturing is done, LL still profits. It is the outside share holder you and I, who profits less if manufacturing costs are higher.

Contracts or a contract worth tens of millions of dollars reoccurring, would cost very little compared to the growth in market cap, present and future investors and shareholders value. Banks and or capitalists would lend the money for the costs of setting up the manufacturing process.

No one knows why the hell this new group needed the shares. But if it is to be to make money, one would expect a heck of a lot more than $50 million. My guess would be in the 9 digits.

It’s not about the politics. The rich make money no matter who is in office. It’s about taking advantage of the politics.

Whether I see this happening or not means nothing. But so far the majority of high risk dice rollers don’t see it happening yet either as the liquidity and average trading volumes remain on an IV DRIP.

If the history and performances of LQMT were different. I would feel the same way about LQMT today as I did, when I first invested over two decades ago. The trust for me is no longer there.

Like I point out in the end of the week posts: are there any long term shareholders out there who are in the green?

As mentioned in an earlier post and based on another stock here posted by another poster, I purchased shares of RKLB @ 6+. It did not take two decades to move up. It hit $22+ in a few months. When I purchased LQMT, I did not expect it to move up 400% in a few months. Neither did I expect it to fail for the next 20 years!

You realize at some point it may never succeed and you use strategies to break even or profit to exit. All along hoping that it does succeed. The fact that it has not died gives one a little hope for it to still happen. Hype or FOMO are not or should not ever be strategies for holding. But given the facts from my experience in this debacle, LQMT offers at this point in time no other viable reasons.

The history of their failures are still attached to the present. The constant year after year rosy outlooks depicted by executives are an absolute insult and disgrace, when compared to the actual outcomes at the end of the year.

This is reality. This is not bashing or beating down the investment I want everyone to succeed in. The ones beating it down are the ones depicting a rosy outlook, referring all to the 10K and then, honestly failing to succeed year after year, decade after decade.

Good luck to all in LQMT.
Wish TC & Co., luck.
Would be nice to see an update on the trade show or MIM order. Nothing like transparency.
Now maybe that’s what is beating down the SP?
Not the opinions, the facts.

The 60-day return policy jibes with our experience that the batteries have tended to last 40-50 days before catastrophic death. I think word of mouth has tanked this company and their current offering. I do believe FDA would give them second life, but for a different market. I think Oura has too much of a jump on these guys for the athletes and self-interested health nuts

I do believe they believe there is going to be a Christmas present in time to be delivered before Christmas????

"Built with scratch resistant Liquid Metal"

Another record new low for the ring. What gives?

Like Nerd B said: I seriously hope that TC's stock purchase last year and LI's latest deal with Pong aren't just smoke screens...but it has crossed my mind.

Don’t forget TC purchased 1 million shares on open market one year ago. To me this gives a hint that whatever Lugee li does will at some level involve us.

I can’t remember TC ever loosing on his investment with lqmt USA.

Like they all said at the time, “Just put $1000 into it and see what happens.” Today I have a very minor holding of DOGE coin believe it or not. At 37 cents and being close to Musk’s heart I figured Let’s make sure I’m not an idiot twice.

I remember standing in the parking lot at work in 2017 talking with my buddy and I almost bought several thousand worth back then.  Damn how I kick myself.  

About the 16 cents a share I’m not sure what to think. I presume there’s a side deal going on that we’re not aware of. The question is whether it’s a deal that will be good for us or not.

An example of a good deal would be a side deal LL has with Whales to develop… something… which will result in massive upside for LQMT. He’ll lose out a little by not having the shares, but he’ll gain through EONTEC and other angles (like maybe he buys more machines and rents them to manufacturers of the Whale order so he’s winning many ways) so he’s happy.

An example of a deal bad for us would be if he and Pomg both know the stock is shit and maybe always will be, so LL is running up a smoke screen to buy more time to have something increasingly less likely happen that will be good for us. So he buys time by propping up our hopes (he’s done it before) and making it up to Pong on the side in something we’ll never know about.

In my head it’s sadly 50-50 which of these is more likely with the toe being broken by the latter, unfortunately, at least in my mind.

Like I feel Trump won’t be great for us since we’re absorbed by China. I think we’ve been forgotten by most.

I do hold out hope that all of this has been an excruciatingly slow road towards actual prosperity and that only now our stars are beginning to align.

Still, I wish I’d bought $100K of Bitcoin in 2016 instead of this dung pile. I suppose even dung is fertilizer with the right seeds.

Well I’m inclined to look into it further with a more knowledgeable authority regarding this curiosity. I would rather see the company just spell it out in an executive blog update.

There always seem to be negative clouds surrounding this. It’s easy to tell when no one to my knowledge who are positive or bullish has posted about these shares as noted in the off market transactions.

Absolutely no curiosity how shares sold to a non citizen abroad and held in Hong Kong went from a misunderstood purchased status of non restricted shares to a granted status of restricted shares with zero time mentioned for vesting rights to allow for voting rights.

Being no legal scholar, one would think all would want to know just what the heck is going on.

My way of thinking is when out of ignorance, something looks suspicious, it could be something or it could be nothing. Always keep an open mind.

I think if the stock hit 0.50 cents today, no one would give a rats A$$.

They don’t say. One would think (for sales purposes) if they were made in the USA, they would have stated this.

So my guess from reading is they are made in China. Or there are several locations required for assembly.

What we do know is that the ring company has stated in commentary, their problems with manufacturing have been resolved.

Mind bending and throws another wrench in the works. However a restricted stock purchase should come with a specific agreement amongst the parties. What does their agreement state?

LL gave up his majority in EONTEC, that is correct, transferred primarily to state investment funds. He also stated that he intended to list LQMT with NASDAQ, and then turn his shares over to EONTEC. The timing is a little confusing, but the end result is obvious. That is the part we should have paid more attention to way back when. As to his control of LQMT Valencia CIrcle via LQMT Hong Kong, he controls just short of 50%, and the BoD which he chairs. Pretty smart to keep it under 50%, for political and practical reasons (conflicts of interest). However, he could easily acquire the majority, even if thru proxy. I do not know what the covenants say about about percentage required to sell the company, might be 2/3rds? And of course we know how they like to transact pre-arranged deals,
rather than open market.

Related: ring company stock new all time low!

I raised this question before. I always thought LL paid $63 million for 405 million common unrestricted shares per each PR and filled documents. How the heck did these shares become restricted stock? Restricted stock is not bought. They are granted. Restricted stock normally do not have voting rights until vested.
What the hell is going on then?
What am I missing here? Anyone?
Hmmm 🤔????

OK, I remember the transfer of power but I was under the impression LL transferred his majority interest in Eontec not LQMT.

Back to my original question…how can he sell what he doesn’t own?


LL has never had a majority interest in LQMT….close but no cigar.

Profitability.

Probably not, but just in case you did miss it Bob, since then EONTEC was taken over by the 'state investment fund' apparatus and LL simultneously surrendered his maority shares. S.O.P. for the Politburo. Welcome to the real world.

Been rattling around in my head….Someone recently mentioned that LL had pledged to turn over his LQMT shares to Eontec “at some time in the future”. I remember that statement from 4-5-6 years ago and it rang a bell….

The question…How can he offer to sell half his holdings to Pong et al if the previous statement is true? Did I miss something?

At least they reimbursed you for the cost to explore the product. That’s more than most would do.

Nailed it at $6+.

What do you think about Pong buying 28 million usd at 0.16 cents per share?

Does anybody know who is actually manufacturing these parts and assembling the rings, and where? Is Yihao involved at all? I think this came up before but that memory cell is apparently a goner.

My partner has finally given up on the Evie ring. Three died along the way. It tracks heart rate very well but says she burned about 1/10 of the calories as an Apple Watch says (23 calories burned after a 50 minute HITT session with average heart rate of 155). She has her iPhone system font set slightly larger than default and the Evie fonts run off the side of the phone and are cut off. She has Oura friends who are tracking sleep, VO2 Max, accurate calories. She finally just told me she wants an Oura ring for Christmas this year. Evie claims state of the art tracking and AI insights but it’s really quite bad. It may work as a one-trick pony for the FDA measured spec, and maybe they’ll sell millions to hospitals and nursing homes, but unless they’re hiding a massive software update under a bushel basket they’re not going to get Jane-Everybody to be happy with their ring for a long time.

I bought so much at 7 cents thinking it was absolutely the bottom. Caught the falling knife

I'm just getting back into this after a break and reading filings.  Didn't Pong only pay $.07 for his shares?  And Li sold a portion of his own to Pong for a loss?  Am I correct there?  Also, do we know what Pongs interest in the company is?  Thanks.

I also don’t believe the market manipulation excuse. Anyone who believes that this stock has been driven down and held down by negative comments is ignorant of the financial realities of this company for the last 20+ years. It hasn’t been the negative posts, nor the disgruntled shareholders that has brought us to today, it has been incompetent management.

Hell of a recommendation for an 83 year old healthy guy……maybe later.

Don't blame you for changing the subject, Bob. Now in this new post are you referring to Jason Bond, or Jay Biscuit - now of another message board? BTW, the reverse split argument is still an 85% loser. Unless you know something that nobody else does out here in the hinterlands. Care to share?
When you poke the real bear and lose, walking away can be the FINAL EXIT. Recommended reading.

I’m not a believer in market manipulation…insufficient volume and not enough $ traded to make it worthwhile.

I agree with you.

okpj

Changing the subject…Has anyone heard anything from JB recently? I haven’t seen any volume bumps that would point to someone trying to unload 16 million shares. Certainly an illiquid position.

Maybe not as tiny as you think but consider a hypothetical shareholder with a million shares going to 10,000 so that is still a substantial holding…..enough of that. I’m not a believer in market manipulation…insufficient volume and not enough $ traded to make it worthwhile.

Agreed that adding several reliable revenue sources is the preferred path forward but that looks to be beyond reach at this point. For now, it looks like the Twins thing is a dead end, the Amorphology deal is a nothing and the MIM opportunity didn’t pan out. Selling shares to Pong et al is risk control by LL.

Chip if you have a tiny position like you do, then the risk probably doesn't mean much. But doubt investors like Lugee Li, or Pong who just purchased 28 million USD at 0.16 will go for something like this. I would rather see some stability come in terms of a few big ongoing contracts and then, and only then, if they need to do a reverse to get the price into NASDAQ so be it.

Personally, I think this company needs a whale contract to get it moving significantly and if that happens I don't think it will need a reverse share to get it to NASDAQ.

Right now this stock is just a MM's manipulation nightmare. Just read the posts on the majority of Boards and its a 4 to 1 ratio with negative bashing, ridiculing the company, and downplaying anything positive the company or its partners are doing. Reddit is an exception because of the real moderation it gets.

Same thing happening to MOVE, and unfortunately is a game that the SEC doesn't really care about with Penny stocks.

The one's denying this reality are the real scum most likely behind it.

Good luck to you even with your moderate position.

Bob,, agree on that 85% failure rate, the RS usually just creates a new downhill slide for shorts to plunder. Wash, rinse, repeat. I have known of succedssful RS's
where the underlying business is solid and the future is bright, especially if they are applying for a listing. One of my favorites was AIG, which already had a solid business but was underrated due to problems problems with an affiilated company. I bought shares, they declared the RS, separated the affliate, and contined to prosper. That however is the exception, and there is nothing to indicate that LQMT is in a like position. I can see them go for the RS only if they want to qualify for a listing and are on the verge of real growth. But remember, LL said that he would get a NASDAQ listing and then turn his shares over to EONTEC. We should have paid much more intention to what has really been going on here. I seldom feel that we have a commonality of pupose with those in control.
