Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (QB) (LQMT)

Someone will make money off of LQMT, I’m just not sure it’s us.

I’m on the optimistic side - especially regarding the tech, itself. I’ve just been burned too many times before with development stage companies that have great products but get diluted and twisted and sliced up until there is nothing left.

Sometimes it’s incompetence, but sometimes it’s whales screwing the owners of common stock and running off with the money.

With LQMT, we’ve seen excessive dilution (bad), along with some very wealthy and powerful foreign interests taking over strategic decision-making (could be good OR bad). The people running the show are uncommunicative, and their ultimate motives are unclear - which isn’t great.

I pray this all will work out in our favor, but I don’t think we will know until it happens. The only realistic take is to admit we’re largely in the dark.

GLTA

Monroe,

I agree.

A big up move could happen at any time.

.... or not!

... but I think the odds favor that big up move soon!

to me it is amazing this has not been attacked thus far to any significant degree. this would indicate the big money is long on LM and of course on Apple.
it would take a big cash wad and a pair of big cojones to go short when at any moment huge buys and/or news could hit....which the silent accumulation for the past 6 months has shown.

Some definite bearish posts recently suggesting we could get nothing here. They weren’t shorts or presented in a nasty manner.   But they softened my overly bullish attitude. 
Comments from everyone solicited; particularly from our realistic long or tentative investors here?
Okpj

This is our usual problem ...

One excellent buy lifts the stock price, then no follow on buys!

Maybe later today??

- Tomcat

The OPPOSITE of a "Bunker Buster" sell order is ...

The "Emergency" market buy order! Buy my shares now and at ANY price please!!

Lets see some of THOSE!!

Apple has supposedly given Samsung the green light to produce 3 million screens for the Fold. https://appleinsider.com/articles/26/06/22/samsung-display-milestone-moves-the-iphone-fold-beyond-rumor-territory

I’m sure we’d all like to see a similar article referencing Apple green lighting 3 million LQMT manufactured hinges.

I mean Lake Forest, of course.

Why channel profit thru Lakeview, CA? This gets back to my perennial question: why would profit be realized at LQMT? With many stops along the way where profit could be bled off (especially the Hong Kong tax haven), why would a decent share of the profit end up in our hands? There might be a reason, but what might that be?

I come from the world of Hollywood Creative Accounting where there’s almost never profit left over at the end of a long chain of licenses, distribution agreements, leases, etc. I was taught that the only reason anyone ever makes any money is because it serves the interests of the powerful players at the table. So I ask again: why would Lugee Li want to take profit in CA as opposed to HK or somewhere else?

I unfortunately stand corrected.!!!!!!!

I unfortunately stand corrected.!!!!!!!

LQMT burned the bridge with Engle years ago. It was Engle that reached out to LQMT. It was Engle that brought display machines to symposiums to expose LQMT to every heavyweight European manufacturer in the space. It was because of Engle there was the LQMT propelled rumor of "a large European automotive manufacturer is interested tire pressure sensors, an estimated $9.36 billion industry by 2020" from that showcased Frankfurt trade show. You can reread about it here https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/659ab50a3984432cc1cde790/65cfd775c932ae838d603f3b_LQM_PressureSensor.pdf

BTW, which party do you think did not hold up their end of the bargain between Engle/LQMT? I'm betting on the one that we all know doesn't answer their phone.

But that's not the teaching point. You mentioned machines. Here are two photos. One of an Engle Green Mystery Machine at the Frankfort show and another jacked from Tony Chungs last talk with us last November about the Hangzhou goings on. Do they appear different to you? Guess what, your feelings don't matter! Your thoughts are irrelevant because in Hangzhou they think and know they are different.

Just like-- and here's the teaching point--LQMT somehow getting paid from work in a Hangzhou factory. They think the machines are different, the process is different, and frankly they don't give a eff about handshake agreements from 15 years ago. And the briefcase of of LQMT IP, technology, and know-how that Lugee Li sent to Hong Kong as one of the first things he did as chairman....that has been emptied, exploited, and used like an old dish rag. That briefcase is long gone.

Sorry.

What a crock. There exists no ongoing relationship between Engel and LQMT. Another fall out caused by Chung and Steipp phu kups.

Let's not forget that Liquidmetal and Engel have a strategy that pairs Liquidmetal's proprietary, amorphous alloys with Engel's specialized injection molding equipment. Therefore, if anyone wants to manufacture Liquidmetal parts, they will have to license the patented Engel machinery to do so.

I think the "first to market" advantage has already played out, with no benefit to us for 25 years. Time is compressed these days, the world is a smaller, faster place than back in the day. A hundred years ago, and it still took WW2 to really move aluminum. Next up, a better product will come out with a whole new set of IP rights, as our patents fade. And, BTW, all the chatter about Samsung? They are working with Apple to share the hinge IP in order to create a much larger market for the new product, so as to justify the price tag that comes with it. Unusual, but smart. Liquidmetal was stillborn for us retail holders of Valencia Circle, while the Chinese wrangled the IP and brand, then took the whole package home. JMHO.

Jack,

AMEN to that!

Tomcat

Other firms could also use different formulations. LQMT has the advantage of being first to market with this, but alternatives will emerge eventually. LQMT has to start making hay while the sun shines and actually start signing contracts and getting production moving. Time is of the essence!

It would be very hard to Copy an Amorphous Metal Formula, that's not an easy task to accomplish, Human Life could be at stake.
Also, the material would have to pass the stringent Quality Control test to be Approved by LQMT. Has a matter of fact we have Liquidmorphium3.0 ,which is the latest Improved Formula by LQMT.

OKPJ,

If a company uses LiquidMetal IP and doesn't sign a license when one is due, then LiquidMetal may have to go to the courts for enforcement. Fortonately for LQMT shareholders, it is much harder these days for a IP license holdout to dodge paying royalties. This in thanks in part in part to IDCC having to do go to court to get paid for much of its corporate life since 1972. Courts and judges don't have much patience for big bullying IP infringers these days. They have seen and know all the dirty time wasting tricks!

IMHO - Tomcat

Oh, and if Samsung uses a Liquidmetal hinge and doesn't call it LM, Samsung advertises that their new folding phone got rid of the crease; wouldn't Liquidmetal benefit the sale of that hinge?

If they COPY the formula that IS copyrighted that Apple has exclusive rights to, that it is violation of something.

If they make something similar and it works as WELL as LM106 (I think that is the product's patented name), and it is an LQMT product NOT similar to LM106, then sure LQMT would benefit.

I am hoping that the greatest initial benefit, will occur when the teardown of the phone occurs and it is clearly LQMT's patented formula. Whether or not revenue accrues directly from that matters, but will not be initially required, (IMHO), for the stock to react very positively. The question might be how long will that rise be maintained, if indeed the revenue stream is impeded, or non-existent.

okpj

According to the information below, a new amporhorous mixture may bypass the earlier Apple agreement.

Thank you.

okpj

I would think so, and perhaps that in part explains the rise in LQMT stock from .04 to .19.

IMHO - Tomcat

Take a Hershey bar. Hershey has proprietary rights, and no one else can use that formula. That doesn't mean that everyone else can't sell chocolate bars, just change the formula. So you can.

Oh, and if Samsung uses a Liquidmetal hinge and doesn't call it LM, Samsung advertises that their new folding phone got rid of the crease; wouldn't Liquidmetal benefit the sale of that hinge?

"Speaking of time warp: You can post this if you want. Links provided…

This is about Liquidmetal technologies, Luggee Li, the origination of Lugee Li’s Liquidmorphium and his plans to market and develop Liquidmetal to where it is today. Luggee did not just pop up overnight. He had what LQMT lacked. Vision and ambition. Today 21 years later, Professor Lugee Li, has finally put it all together.

The only thing we don’t see yet. Is LQMT collecting a dime. The fact is the folding phone is coming with the Liquidmetal IPhone. The fact that there are no hard links to how LQMT gets paid, doesn’t mean they will not get paid or indirectly benefit from it’s success by Apple.

That alone is more than worth a 25 cent bet. Or a 50 cent bet in these casinos. It is in this atmosphere of speculation, this stock goes higher, with or without the Pros and Cons of LQMT getting paid.

Here are the links. There are many more.

Inadvertently posted about another stock, my apologies.

It was my understanding, and certainly discussed here, and elsewhere, that Apple has the exclusive rights to the use of LQMT in all CE (Consumer Electronics), which would negate Samsung or others using it.

Has something changed?

okpj

Did you know that Apple cannot stop Samsung, or any other manufacturer from making a Liquidmetal hinge for its foldable phones. While Apple holds the perpetual exclusive license for a Liquidmetals consumer electronics intellectual property. Samsung, or any other company, can build similar hinges using entirely different proprietary manufacturing techniques. And, we all know what that means? It means, if you make a folding phone and you want to get rid of the crease use a Liquidmetal hinge.

Just another video mentioning Liquidmetal.

Just took a look at the website for the first time in awhile. Must say it is impressive.
What struck me was the robot hand presentation. The human ability to grip and manipulate is the biggest challenge and impediment thus
far in robotics. Great strides have been made just recently. I am willing to bet we see some robotic parts being made with LM by LM! The future is here and we are smack in the middle of it all.

Leak #7 to hear all about it.

You don’t have a clue.  I have owned this stock since 2004, I have followed this board for years and years, I don’t post very often because it is a waste of time with the negative bullshit.  And yes, I couldn’t care less about the feelings of those with motives that don’t match mine.  I just want this stock to move up with confirmation of contracts, production and profit.  I was not singling you out by the way, just attached it to your comments because it sort of tied in with your comments.  Jesus people, relax.  

You, however, have been on this board for less than two months, having your first post on April 29, 2025, which is less than 14 months. You have posted 35 times to date.

Correction, "you, however., have been on this board for less than fourteen months."

Everyone, remember this:

"Those who sell at any price are not very good, and not very nice!!"

I know, I have said this before. but it BEARs repeating!

IMHO - Tomcat

Just so a few are aware, I did contact Finra about the wild price drop last week and the possibility of shenanigans happening with this stock. They replied that they would look into it. Price manipulators, just a heads up if you are playing your games.

I don't know if "If you are playing your games" is related to me or not, but since your post IS in response to one of my posts, I thought I might share a few things here.

I will assume you ARE referring to me.

I have been on this board since March 13, 2002, more than 24 years. A little due diligence of me would quickly reveal that I don't play games and that I am very long on LQMT. I have posted 399 times so far and have 5 people following me, which I did not even know. I have been trading for decades; I certainly do not have a monopoly on my truth, but am entitled to my opinions.

You, however, have been on this board for less than two months, having your first post on April 29, 2025, which is less than 14 months. You have posted 35 times to date.

We can believe what we want about how the market operates, and to what degree we believe there is manipulation, and whether it requires being reported. Certainly there is market manipulation to one degree or another.

All I DID in a past post was disagree with the degree to which you and others here think this stock is manipulated. That is all I did.

To conclude, if you did, (and I apologize if my assumption based on a reply to one of my posts noted above is inaccurate), that I am "playing games" demonstrates, (in my opinion), that you have not, at the very least, done your due diligence on me. Just read my posts.

If you get a response from FINRA, we would all welcome to see it posted here.

There is no reason to come after me, and I have no interest in continuing this dialogue in a confrontational manner.

Smart investors would take advantage of sharp price drops and scoop up cheap shares manically. To get Jack, you got to be nimble...nary tremble. Frick stay?

Jack,

I can't help but think that amorphorous metals have a brigfht future with space applications, so am hoping for some business from companies in that sector.

I do Remember that ,2 weeks before Apple introduced the iWatch Ultra ,on September 7th 2022 ,it had announced that : it "was using TITANIUM instead of LIQUIDMETAL in the Casings",against LQMT Investors' EXPECTATIONS ! I sincerely Hope that History does NOT Repeat itself this Time!
Good Luck!

"A more serious article…

If you want to know what the chances are for a better relationship between Apple and LQMT then you have to know what the future of Apple is all about.

Instead of reading all of those giddy meaningless links. Read some reality first and then you can see why LQMT and Apple might become a better fit.

You can see why the potential for connecting these dots can speculate demand and a higher share price for LQMT is very possible before any actual knowledge of whether LQMT gets paid or not is out.

These tech and media and major news websites are a powerful force to hype pump and speculate.
No imaginary maze required.

LQMT shareholders should have more knowledge of what lies ahead in the next three months. I’ll leave the share price rise to those newbies with FOMO and dreams to determine that end.

Hang on. It looks like they are getting ready to let the bull out of the gate!"
