A rumor that Liquidmetal is "under consideration" for some future version of the iPhone is nice, but that rumor isn't putting money in LQMT's bank any more than the other rumors did. LQMT needs to get royalties from unit sales, and that just can't happen in the massive consumer electronics market unless Apple says so. The LQMT shareholders meeting is coming up, and most people posting on other boards say they're doing what I did: sending a no-confidence vote to management that we're not happy with decisions like the exclusive Apple deal.
Just for the record I am holding my LQMT stock because I think they have real potential to blow up if they can actually land some high-volume contracts like manufacturing (or licensing their process to a manufacturer of) automotive engine parts, but the fastest-growing and most lucrative market on the planet is closed to them because of the Apple deal that they've renewed several times. I don't want to see that happen to POET!
