First investment was in lqmt's IP, Second investment will be in Manufacturing that IP.
Tim Cook could give Li money to buy machines and start manufacturing components for Apple, similar to what was done with GT Advanced, the difference here being that Li has a proven track record for mass manufacturing.
Strong consolidation today after breaking through 28c yesterday.
I'm not guessing Steipp's real accomplishments was getting Li to spearhead the Amorphous Mass Manufacturing revolution through LQMT.
And also cleaning up house after the Kang disasters,
And also keep Engel paying for developing a LQMT injection molding machine,
And also getting Materion to supply lqmt's BMG formula,
And also keep Apple paying for and increasing the Patent Portfolio of CIP.
And also keeping lqmt alive until commercialisation,
But thats about it.
Sounds like the snake pit that Steipp cleaned up after Kang, so maybe he is the right choice.
"Today, NES Financial services over 190 funds, administers over $75B of 1031 transactions annually, and has worked with over 550 EB-5 projects."
Maybe Steipp can give a loan to his old buddies at lqmt when needed.
What about those Jason Bond and Clay Trader guys who already flipped lqmt for a profit several weeks back. And don't forget about the lqmt short traders who cashed out under 25.
And wait until other car makers start using light weight lqmt parts in their Hybrids, electric cars.
Test runs have already been successfully done on "Identical Machines in China"
"slim" is a game character. You learn fun facts from godchildren. Would never have known cause i'm an xbox guy, never touch Playstation or Nintendo.
Not made with real Gold or Metal.
The last time lqmt traded above .28 was on 13th and 17th April when only 3.6m shares where traded.
Agree, spike has nothing to do with Apple, so this is just going to get better.
It feels like buyers today where desperate to get-in before market close.
What Apple signs off on is what lqmt/Li get.
Need not look any further than the cross license agreement that Apple approved.
Expect to see new leaks regarding 2 new iphones this week, the LCD versions. Cant wait to see if they are 's' upgrades or the same 'glass sandwich' design of the already leaked OLED Edition.
Here come the bids to close out the day.
Splitting hairs i think but enough differentiation from other Die-Cast Machines, while not infringing on Engel/CIP/Apple IP (cause its Hot-Crucible) to secure patents, Professor Li is shrewd, he is our CEO/COB and biggest LQMT holder. Can't get better than that.
No you don't have to look at your iPod, once you connect the iPod you then control it from the Camry's Dash Display. The same Display that shows navigation map, radio functions etc.

Well said, GTAT where not actual sapphire manufactures, they just sold furnaces that they claimed could yield massive sapphire boules so Apple spent nearly a billion setting them up to manufacture sapphire but GTAT failed at managing production, no experience.
Same story with LQMT, lqmt has no experience in BMG mass manufacturing, they just have an alloy and machines made by Engel. BUT now that Prof. Li is in charge things are very different. Li has already proven he has the experience and knowledge to mass manufacture BMG with Eontec.
LQMT wont be another GTAT when it comes to manufacturing abilities, but hopefully it will be the same in regards to the share price investors valued it at, $20 sounds about right.
I think that was a fake based on this real SE leak.
The faked SE,

The real SE, The leak was confused as being the Edition iPhone.
https://twitter.com/VenyaGeskin1/status/852436557734785024/photo/1
The SE will have a bigger screen and impressive camera to compete with China/India Androids, So having the finger scanner on the back like Android will be OK.
The current SE model already has reasonable hardware and camera, they will be further improved with the next update and this time a bigger screen, so the finger scanner has to move, the home button on screen being just a software home button, not hardware.
IMHO.
They are mounting brackets or templets to hold the internal or external iPhone frame for further CNC milling/detailing and or assembly of parts.
Not actual Molds.
I wonder if Li will license his Formula to Materion for the exclusive supply to lqmt customers.
Li still thinks Materion alloy and Engel machines are relevant to lqmt, they will be for different markets and requirements.
Eontec machines and alloy for low cost mass manufacturing.
Materion/Engel for niche markets and higher tolerance parts.
Yes its EON's alloy, but I'm sure Apple tested Eon alloys before approving the cross license agreement and may still be testing them.
Yes Apple has no rights over anything that is DC, it may or may not be the reason why Apple agreed to 'sign off' on CIP use too Eontec, which lqmt also had to approve. Might be the way for Apple and Eon to work together thru lqmt and its trademarks.
Thanks for posting Crispy_2014, data on BMG DC-106c, the same BMG Apple tested in this recently posted patent by Gamesc.

Its the term Professor Li uses when hinting about Apple, it kind of grows on you lolz.
Not saying its Hf based, saying that the Zr 40% based BMG would be cheaper since the Zr is not further processed to remove the Hf 'contaminants'
Thanks for the info, the cross licence agreement with Eontec gives lqmt the Hf bmg and more importantly wont be left behind.
Apple is working hard to perfect true wireless charging. BMG alloy will be a key part of that.

Li will make more money if lqmt gets in on the manufacturing action, He did claim to make lqmt the global amorphous manufacturer.
Good point, a loan would be better for all shareholders than dilution.
I used to think a share buyback would be the way for Li to take over lqmt, but now i don't think that is what Li is after.
Mainly because he has already given up his majority in Eontec to fund BMG expansion/commercialisation,
he has said that the BMG market is too big not to share,
he is creating Joint Ventures in order to supply material and machines for the BMG revolution.
Li understands he needs allies and partners to make BMG a success, I don't believe he is greedy or thinks he can have it all.
So now i think that, when the price is right, Li will sell those extra 200million lqmt shares or parts thereof to further fund LiquidMetal's Manufacturing capabilities.
If he sells it all he will have a 37% majority and still control the board.
2 block trades,
Number 206, 15:53:00, 200 000, Bid 0.267, Buy 0.2675.
Number 214, 15:57:08, 300 000, Bid 0.267, Buy 0.2675.
Wow even more impressive. I didn't realise the cost was so low.
What i like most about DC-105s is that it works in Engel machines and costs a third of the price. So as long as its not used for CE Li can use it in Engel machines.
Apple can always contract lqmt to make CE parts for them with Li's lower cost BMG, that would be magical.
