The gear was added to their portfolio of industrial products. The Products I refer to are the products of which LQMT already has publicly stated they have sales/orders. Many industries use and manufacture products that require gears of all sizes and purpose. This is why I do not want to speculate on who or whom they may be in talks with. The fact that I post, is that they have added this product to product page they already have recent sales.
There is also a need for a superior gear, LQMT has the formula. The engineering tests have already been completed. The question remains, who will use it. One company or a hundred companies? Is demand worth a million or five hundred million or more? That is where speculation plays a role.
LQMT making gears. There are no specifics for who. From auto to NASA. A test of amorphous metal gears by NASA reveals BMG gears work fine under extreme cold temperatures without lubricant at -328°. Cannot find any contracts or who is ordering prototypes. The gears can also be used in robotics.
The gears are a fact. For who is pure speculation.
Good luck to all.
That statement is correct from a USA point of view. FDA approval is not required in most of LQMT ‘s geographical footprint.
Increased resistance to bacterial growth and infections. The stent walls better resist collapsing and are superior to corrosion, but to be frank I have not come across where a stent was ever removed due to corrosion.
But all of this is moot, since the article was posted on the basis of infringement on an existing LQMT patent, for stent implants.
In post 150111, briefly revealed is the story of an Israeli Medical company evolving from research to reality using Amorphous metal to manufacture an implantable stent.
So why did I post it?
Because from further research, I thought LQMT had the patent first. And if so, why is there no lawsuit?
Mr. Li, are you listening?
Knock knock is anyone home? Oh well, I’ll just leave this letter at the door with all of the other unanswered questions from the many here.

Read the first link from 5 years ago. Then the second link from just last year.
It is in use today. Not ten years from now. Your focus is on dr. Jacob and medinol in the first link.
WOW! Sounds like all of us and none of us at the same time... http://smallcapir.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/LQMT-SN-BB-IR-Brief.pdf
Talk about the true meaning of déjà vu.
Just got in, saw the LQMT share price. Conclusion: if it’s Tuesday, it must be Friday.
Tomorrow I’m going to ask everyone; How was the weekend? That ought to wake everyone up:)
Source for institutional info. https://fintel.io/so/us/lqmt
Real news! 3 of 5 hedge funds exit LQMT, selling 254,000 shares since 01-01-18. 1 new hedge fund entered with a very negligible purchase and owns a ridiculous 5000 shares. The 3 remaining Institutional owners, now accounts for 635,000 shares, an amount less than some of the independent traders here may own.
That’s about 7 tenths of 1%. .07. Meaning if all institutional shares were sold, it would have a real zero impact or about a drop of about 1/2 of 1 Penney =.005. Putting it bluntly. There is hardly any confidence in LQMT by these traders.
My research tries to follow the money not the hype. My research tries to see the potential of a company. The technology of amorphous metal offers much promise. LQMT offers very little promise by way of new news. Thus very little new traders are attracted to the company. Long terms are still here for the potential they believed in over 10 years ago. The only difference between then and now, are the newer toys/products that exist today, that may use Amorphous metal parts. But the potential remains the same. The resources that LQMT, has acquired at a high price, may bring that potential we all hope for to reality this year.
Without results expressed in new agreements, with new revenues this year and not just in hollow words from a poorly staffed marketing team, I believe will seriously impact the goodwill of long term shareholders.
There are other companies out there, to invest in potential with a higher degree for success. There will be a point in time where the hype of patents and the speculation of new toys fall on deaf ears. There will be a time, when the lack of sales and the silence becomes too loud to justify loyalty. That time is also fast approaching.
So we have a new material with great potential in the hands of a few, with new resources to achieve a goal long overdue.
2018 LQMT, longterms deserve better.
Good luck to all.
Has anyone seen mr. Li? I checked with the hospitals, police files for missing persons , obituaries, lost and found, no mr. Li. Very odd. Very strange. No one believes me. I told everyone who I asked about mr. Li.
I told them that a man from China, visited the U.S. a couple of years ago and plunked down about $64 million dollars to buy a company that virtually had no income and no serious pipeline of products and was trading at .06 cents a share. Not only that he agreed to buy the shares for almost triple the price and then purchased a new headquarters for the company he bought and threw himself a open house party to welcome everyone. All were in awe and marveled at what this man had done. Even one self appointed pumper put out a long winded newsletter stating this was the investment of a lifetime. Everyone was in lal la land. The company had a new hero.
Two years later and the income is virtually the same and the “no serious pipeline” is still not serious and there is no mr. Li to be found. They told me, impossible, I was out of my mind and I made the whole thing up.
I almost believed them. After all the story does sound insane. Except for one small detail.
The stock trades 400% above the .06 share price and still trades 50% above the purchase price and all without one single peep from the company or mr. Li.
Has anyone seen mr. Li?
I see him every day between .22 and .27
2018 Good luck to all. Maybe we can make a movie out of this story. All we have to do is find someone like the late Frank Capra to film it.
Gee, there is a marketing manager? To have a marketing manager, you need a market :)
You have a valid point. In fact several. There is never a doubt as to your translations, when it comes to breaking down many of the posts.
If there were any money to be made, traders would have scooped up 100 million shares. It could be done but it would have to be done in about 100 trading days due to the volume. In reality it would have been done already.
This validates your posts. LQMT.23 to .25= no news or fake news.
Set CE aside. If they cannot sell lemonade in the desert, that means two things. Either they cannot sell or there are no people out there in the desert. No demand. By the end of this year or sooner we will know if LQMT knows how to sell the lemonade.
You made the correct call to sell. It was about priorities not what if’s. Your attachment to a unsuccessful company over a long period of time, reminds me of the classic case of a hostage sympathizing with their kidnappers. And if and when you get back in, that to will be the right call.
Good luck to you.
Well just who do you think is responsible now, for both sides of the agreement? Li or Li? Or do you believe the agreement is still between the former CEO. The agreements are between LQMT and Eontec. It is just that the ceo for both companies are the same currently. The schizophrenia comment was meant to be satirical and not to be taken seriously. Like when people post about Li, and I say; Li who?
There has to Be levity here, or reality will set in. And we all know that, reality with LQMT ‘s PR’s and response to a shareholders inquiries and current revenue will lead to frustration, anger and negativity and it is justified as well.
Enjoy life, be happy. Yes, you are correct there were different representatives at the time of the agreements.
Eagle1947, your time frame looks to be spot on. The company we have shares in, have highly skilled people in the field of LM and MIM, but poorly skilled people in the area of marketing.
Hence all long terms went through the Apple and now Eontec forced events to survive. Unfortunately we have not witnessed any changes in the marketing area as far as we know and as far as LQMT has disclosed.
Drawing from this history and without a bit of luck and or surprise from mr Li, LQMT, is headed south of the border again as far as confidence goes. And as confidence goes so will shareholders.
So either the momentum they have now leads to new revenue agreements or the shareholders will cut bait and stop fishing. 1 year should do it. This year should give all a clue.
Money will talk or many will walk. The words of LM on the blog, are easy to come by and cheap. But even at that price, many shareholders and LQMT cannot afford it.
2018 Good luck to all.
You are 100% correct if everyone trusted each other. That is why you have the cross license agreements and all of the covenants regarding not trusting each other.
Whatever happened to the handshake? Those days have been long gone for many decades. Very sad for all. No trust. Everyone has to be threatened with lawsuits, jail time and a gun has to be pointed at all parties in an attempt to have all parties to live up to their word.
And just think? Lugee Li is party to both sides of the agreement. He must have been schizophrenic, when he signed the agreement.
Where is CE and luxury (watches/Jewlery)? In every 10Q filed.
LQMT has not received a waiver. Apple has to grant a waiver for LQMT to enter into new CE agreements. On the other hand Eontec, does not need a waiver. They were already manufacturing parts for CE with at least 2 other mobile phone manufacturers. EON the parent company of Eontec has many subsidiaries. It is quite amazing how technology from patents are distributed and trickle down all over the globe. Some of these actions lead to lawsuits, others are to expensive and too exhausting to pursue.
LQMT would have mislead their shareholders if it were discovered that: A. They were pursuing CE without one and B. They were pursuing CE with one and did not disclose this. Your talking a huge problem for LQMT, if you believe they were granted a waiver.
Look at their business model. Look at the areas they are exploring as stated in their financial statements and website. They are not pursuing CE. When they get a waiver they can announce it and issue a NDA. Then all of us can speculate. Now if Eontec were granted a waiver, that is fine. But LQMT would not see a penny. Specifically, what amount would LQMT receive? 1%, 5%, 10%? Would not Li be in a position of conflict of interest if he violates the LQMT/Eontec agreements? What is he going to do sue himself? Who determines proper compensation to the shareholders of LQMT?
I don’t see Eontec violating the agreements. I do see other companies making and assembling the products that reach our shores.
As usual I could be wrong.
No degree? and a lifeguard? He’s overqualified!
Li who???ZZZzzz ZZZzzz ZZZzzz
Speaking of hush hush. Why has LQMT not acknowledged what the relationship is between them and...http://www.interreg-icap.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/ICAP_20180126_BERTUNA_Protec.pdf
This was a link from a LQMT page. The link was gone after I posted it here around May 8.
Now it is quite possible I dreamt this all up and just happened to find the link on my own. But even if knew of the other company ‘s existence, I could not find a link to the link above on the other company’s website. I must be sleepwalking.
I mean why have a contract which states, we would see revenues if these products hit our patented soil?
In my previous reply to you and for all to know. In so many words... The companies of China that run with the government’s influence do not operate in the same way that our companies run with government regulations. The agreements between LQMT and Eontec are not binding on the other companies manufacturing LM parts that reach North America with stolen/shared secrets.
Historically, corrupt America made corrupt deals, paid for by powerful and greedy companies by buying influence from elected representatives. This is easy for many to understand. In essence (I hate discussing politics), the people believe there are two distinct political parties. But that only exists in ideological terms. On terms of greed and corruption there is only one party, the party of favors and reelection, and that takes money, and since most elected officials do not have the money to be re-elected. They do have favors to sell. Thus you have fair trade agreements uninforced. This hurts the LQMT/Eontec agreements. Eontec is not going to violate the agreements. China will do it by circumventing Eontec, with other companies using the technology. It may be illegal here. But in China? No. As I stated previously. Companies work for the success of China. On paper it looks just like our system of capitalism. In reality, it is not.
But there form of capitalism has been very successful and profitable for them. It may not be fair, but they could not do it without our complicity. Like I said, I hate discussing politics. But many small companies like LQMT, are in the same boat. China does not care which (company)one stands in their country or ours or which one falls. They care only that they(China) stand no matter who is bringing home the bacon. As our current president repeats many times...don’t blame them.
The good news is that when you look at the many other industries out there, that are not CE, it is clear as night is to day, that there is enough money out there and demand in the works that will rock this stock onto the otc. The frustration and whining for the most part is a result of LQMT, and not so much of the willingness for long term shareholders to wait.
Just reaffirms my position. LQMT receives nada zip zero zilch from CE. I don’t want to speculate on what China does with the patents. But whatever they earn is theirs to keep. None of it flows back to LQMT without a waiver from Apple per the MTA. The waiver would be part of a NDA, you will not receive a heads up.
Apparently mr. Li, still thought it wise to keep LQMT open for the other industries that may use LQMT. The potential may be enough to get back his investment costs and perhaps earn a profit. Now all know why he stressed patience.
If lm is as big as the article infers. Then you may see lawsuits flying from Apple. But it is going to be impossible to win a case against China circumventing the MTA with LQMT via Eontec. Especially when China disseminates the paid for Eontec patents to other entities to manufacture lm. Capitalism in China is not the same as capitalism in the USA. Over here its each company for themselves. In China it is each company for China. The Chinese government does not sue itself for steeling patents.
Just read your post Gorgol. You and your loved ones will always be in our prayers as I am sure you are in the prayers of many. Deeply saddened by your 4K result. At the same time I am glad to see, that throughout your ordeal, that you are able to put your priorities in order as best you can. Your comments will be missed. The insights, the humor, the wisdom and reflections. All of it will be missed. You especially, will be missed. If during this time you remember us, do drop us a line. May God and his holy family bless you and keep you. Stay in good spirits. With all of God’s blessings.
Researchfyi.
Ok, as long as delerium is setting in. How about putting Liquidmetal numbers on the rumba vacuum cleaner. That will save a lot of energy and extend battery life.
It would be appropriate if they reply.
Joshuaeyu, I think you have something there. Rather than LQMT looking externally for 1 client. Maybe they should look internally at 100 million clients. All they have to do is design an enclosed bouncing ball ( like a pin ball) toy under their brand, and get it ready to market it for Christmas. It can take off like a rubic’s cube, a cabbage patch doll or just think, a Liquidmetal slap hockey, hockey puck. Try catching that rascal.
Send that information to LQMT as they are still trying to weld and test Amorphous metal. There problems with various welding methods causes crystallization of the AM.
So far the pros and cons for amorphous metal using the LQMT formula. AM cannot be welded to another metal except to itself. It looses its properties and weakens. Thus for now AM are only applicable to a whole part and mechanically must be fitted (threaded screwed or placed) to other parts. This limits it’s applications. On the plus side there are endless parts in use today where parts are not welded but are stand alone pieces used to assist or join other parts to enhance there performance. Be it a gear or a washer or spring, medical or auto etc.
There are millions of uses for AM parts that LQMT is trying to exploit in various industries. They must focus on smal parts not larger than about 6 inches. This is not due to AM limitations but rather machine limitations and the lack of money to build equipment to make larger prototypes. For that you would need millions and a guaranteed demand in advance. A defense contractor would have those type of funds and demand for such a machine.
I/we, are for LQMT succeeding and often are critical in the way LQMT, their executives have performed. But setting all of their faults aside, and their fat unjustified salaries, we should be able to see that they are not showing up at work and just twiddling their thumbs all day.
There has to be an element of frustration for them day after day, week after week, and month after month in failures to nail down a contract worthy of a PR and respect to their shareholders.
There are millions of parts, that can be made by companies using the LQMT process. It is very difficult for me (and perhaps all here as well) to grasp why they are trying to do this one(prototype) part at a time, one company at a time, year after year. It is totally frustrating from a shareholders point of view to see this go on and on and at the same time not understand why they, LQMT, have not changed their marketing strategy.
I would like to believe they have already secured a deal, but their past history and existing executives do not permit me to conclude that, this is the case. Mr Li ‘s silence does not help. We believe he has invested to make money for all of his companies. His LQMT investment seems to have encountered obstacles causing delays. If a company like LQMT, a B.B. micro cap cannot disclose what the obstacles are.
We here, who are also very intelligent, cannot help them to remove the obstacles or find a remedy if LQMT is not forthcoming IMO. There are many posters here who have experience in the business world and can help. But they say you cannot clap with one hand and that is how many here feel about LQMT, when it comes to their release of information.
There are many pros and cons to this investment, this dice roll. Whether the pps is at .06 or .25 the pros and cons remain the same. The speculations and frustrations remain the same and so will the silence, until they nail down a contract or contracts worthy of our respect and investments.
Good luck to all. 2018 looks like momentum is building for success. We all should be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel this year.
Back to DD. Way before Eontec explored medical parts back in 2002 and 2012 LQMT explored medical parts as well. Here are the companies. Here is the link. P Hauck with the advancement to the original formula in LM, what happened? Shareholders would like to know!
https://www.mddionline.com/could-liquidmetal-be-newest-miracle-material-medical
Let’s see. There are an excess of 400,000,000 million shares floating out there and the chatter is about an option of a little over 1,000,000 shares. Are we joking? Folks, this is not a big deal. A 1/4 of 1% of outstanding shares, will not float anyone’s boat.
I know all cylinders are not functioning in my brain and many here will vouch for that last statement. But gossiping over this option is not DD. Its a reflection that nothing new is going on. At least not here. On the other hand it also shows there are some very sharp people here, who will not let LQMT get away with squat, and that is a good thing. Thank heavens for posters like Out The Window, Eagle 1947, And many others here.
Good luck to all.
Can LM be welded? For those familiar with LQMT’s latest design guide. On pages 79 and 80 LQMT briefly covers this important topic. Notice the topic is placed near the end of the 84 page guide, and for good reason.
Here is a LQMT link to a more detailed review, including the material that did not make it into the latest design guide, and for good reason too.
https://www.liquidmetal.com/welding/
Those inclined to engineering will appreciate the link. Those not into engineering will also appreciate the total picture.
The design guide link can be found in much earlier posts.
I think the dogs of the marketing VP, also wears Rolex watches. Companies like Rolex, and there are others, be it the auto industry or jewelry industry, do not sell to or market to the masses. They are not impacted by a recession. It’s a statement, status and a bit ego. But niche companies do make products of perfection and wealth.
By the way, who the heck is buying LQMT today?
Rolex operates in it’s own small world. If you think its taking LQMT, a long time to announce something new. Rolex has them beat by decades. Getting Rolex to invest in new materials is like getting LQMT, to invest in new marketing.
Ceramics and metals used in aviation has been around for quite some time. About 10 years ago it trickled down into the watch industry. But so far Rolex does not use lm.
Rolex does not use a liquid metal alloy.
Unlike Las Vegas; What happens in China! Does not stay in China! The post was meant for all interested to learn. Ideas shared evolve.
Eontec learned from LQMT and now is sharing those ideas to grow to expand. What happens there! Will happen here!
My thoughts are not worth noting. What is going on in the world of CE, May be. If LQMT is ever given a waiver by Apple, the already in place Eontec relationship, is an asset. This may happen at any time. It all depends on when LM is touted as a advantage by a top tier Apple competitor. A spring on a SIM card or home button obviously did not cut it.
In a earlier post, my opinion of the 2 sales (amputations) we’re done to survive. Poor marketing skills lead to these two catastrophic monetary decisions. LQMT in the past two years has burned through 40% of it’s cash.
LQMT should be able to seal the deal this year. Will they? No one knows. Have they learned from past mistakes? Again, no one knows. Their behavior doesn’t reflect they have. Their pps supports my opinion. It is a reflection of how they are truly operating.
For the CE geeks here! The following link will keep you busy all weekend long and lead you to other stories and links, perhaps generating more posts with more links and more questions. Just keep in mind LQMT amputated it’s CE heart and gave it to Apple, and then amputated their patent legs and gave it all to Eontec.

Sharing information is good. Sharing hype and speculation, not so good. Dreams are ok.
Good luck to all
I posted it to crack people up, not their cars, keep your eyes on the bumper.
