Huawei has the patent on their hinge.
It utilize partial gear mechanism to extend and shrink the display
Those (BMG) gears must last forever or "crease" will show after wear and tear.
I posted the patent.
MIM has up to 20% shrinkage upon “bake”
It will not fulfill low tolerance micro hinges requirement.
There are thousands of MIM ovens world wide. Capacity should not be issue if indeed MIM is the chosen technology.
On the other hand, there are only hundred of BMG machines world wide. Capacity WILL be issue in the near term.
Foldable “capacity limitation” is disclosed everywhere. It is clearly pointing BMG is the SOLUTION.
Technology “ramping” is always a problem.....but a “nice problem” to have.
It took Samsung 10 years to mature OLED.
It is encouraging to see iHopper continuous support of LQMT with numerous products proposition.
Wonder if they can simply run thru my “pick 6” requirement and see fit.
Once BMG is “commercialized”, I would say “pick 3” (per HH proposal) will be good enough.
Ultimately we (shareholder) will only succeed with BMG global sales in all sectors.
With that being said, commercialization (thru TBD high volume sector) must happen before the other (low volume) sectors can benefit (from economy of a scale).
There is no reason to pigeon hole.
This is simply business 101.
Possible Nationalism, family feud will always be on investor mind. It is not what this board is for.
“Apple is apparently considering larger lenses for 2020 models and SMA (Shape Memory Alloy) for OIS. We also expect 2020 models to feature Dual OIS and actuators for front-facing cameras.”
LQMT reports positive quarterly growth of 460% for the third quarter 2018 vs. previous quarter and remains flat.
LQMT reports negative quarterly growth of -43% for the fourth quarter 2018 vs previous quarter and is up 10%.
Go figure
Common sense. Those who buy at a cheaper price are wise to sell and take gains. Those also, who bought at cheaper prices and hold will sell and take larger gains. Those who bought recently and hold will profit as well.
The equity has risen solely on projected speculation on what it might be worth and conclusions based bits and pieces of data one try's to weave not on actual verifiable news from the company itself as to any contract in hand from the patents. LQMT is in a very good place. As otcbb stocks go they are always a high risk. Know the facts know the risks anticipate the rewards.

Will it be LQMT future Q&A Chinese style?
Share mold manufacturing
BB might have bragged about “Octo mold”.
It is all about sharing multiple designs (one or multi customer). It will improve total thruput and/or minimize recycling need.
It will be a while before LF (somewhere in US) can justify recycling oven and/or ingot melting pot.
This is all indications of low volume manufacturing set up.
Offshore manufacturing is not “negative”.
It implies there exist (one time and/or run rate) demands exceeding LF capacity (which only has two machines in total). One of them is tied up with engineering and prototyping.
Follow the machine (via capital equipment in 10K), it will indicate “run rate business” justify capital investment.
For all we know, some day we might have (meaningful size) factory (not in coastline).
Until then, walk before run.
While there are still “cash” to keep the light on for a little while, that “cash” will disappear quickly once “capital investment” is required (which is a good indicator).
Z-2 is Liquidmorphium which Eon used to produce
105 is what LQMT used to partner with Materion to produce
Moving forward will be 106c for both Eontec YiHao and LQMT.
Note Sony USA does exist.
Not clear if there is any “electronic” entity inside this very earbud since it is “corded”.
It is clearly Consumer Product.
From the mirror finish, it might not be Eon formula since it will require extra polishing step.
Sony earbud selling in america will be a very good leading insight to a lot of the questions that has been raised in this board.

From Bruce Bromage, Chief Operating Officer
Breaking Ground!
Heavy construction has begun on our power upgrade. Southern California Edison is installing the new power infrastructure needed to resolve limitations uncovered by our project and our crews are trenching and coring to bring power from a new point of connection to our building. My thanks to Kevin, our facility manager, for leading the project and for coordinating with Power, the City of Lake Forest, and our contractors to achieve this critical milestone.
This development keeps us on track to make our MIM ovens fully operational to meet increasing demand. Amorphous metal production has not been affected by the power upgrade project. Our most promising projects are for medical parts, reflecting our focus on this market, but new industrial and consumer opportunities are emerging now that we are able to compete for more price-sensitive applications.
Work continues with EON affiliate Yihao Metals to develop parts for large international customers. This work leverages our shared amorphous metal technology to support customer design and qualification efforts domestically while able to rapidly scale production in the US and China.
Best,
Bruce
It is coming to America.

It is OK to showcase the Sony earphone to client.
Imagine if KK tried it with Dunu earphone.
KK:
Dear client, may I show you this pair of earphone which utilize liquidmetal as material?
Client:
What brand is that?
KK:
Dunu..
Client:
What you mean you don't know........
I want to believe KK will/can leverage this.
In the global market, Sony is still a stronger brand than Duno.
Brand name adoption is important for BMG to flourish.

Question:
Online coverage Sony high-end new products IER-Z1R in-ear headphones are used in your liquid metal products, may I ask the report is true?
March 20, 2019 15:25
Answer:
Hello! Thank you for your interest in the company. The report is true! Company exclusive for Sony this high-end ear-type headset supply liquid metal shell and back cover.
Thank you!
CE (or any high volume) business first via LiquidMetal brand.
All other lower volume business will follow.
Timing is everything.
If Apple adopted LM105 in 2014, Steipp and Hauck would be the HERO in nonCE business right now.
Same business they Steipp and Huack abandoned.
That’s the only one that might have any monetary linkage to LQMT.
To me Vitreloy 106 is the Lynch pin
It will be good to dig out the cal tech patent start and stop date for that very formulation and its exclusivity (or not) license to LQMT.
For Lugee, CIP is simply used to shield off competition. He stated ownership of CIP in all PR.
PLA also have CE exclusivity to fend off Apple to keep it arms length.
Life beyond CIP will be clear sailing.
This is an extremely well thought acquisition.
IMHO
Correct
Yes it WAS.
No. It IS NOT
This notice is about 3 months NPO stock “free to trade”
NPO was proposed back in 2017. Completed late 2018. Delay and NPO price reduction is part of TW casualties.
Raised cash was spent three fold
1. JV with Cloud Metal for world biggest magnesium farm.
2. BMG expansion which becomes YiHao Metal expansion
3. BMG R&D center was delayed (due to lack of funding with lower price NPO)
Detail plan of this NPO was published and posted here in iHOP.
Just to clarify Apple does have perpetual license via the MTA for everything that is contained withjn the CIP. For example LM105 is one of those entity that Apple can choose to license for free forever.
CIP contains everything that LQMT ever did and started until March 2016.
With that being said, anything that started since March 2016 or acquired via licensing agreement such as PLA is not reachable by Apple independent if it is CE or not.
Apple also have the perpetual right for liquidmetal brand-name. However that will be limited to product that that was derived within CIP technology only.
For example, Apple today can decide to license material/Engel new partnership of their version of Vitreloy 106. However that particular formulation cannot be called liquidmetal.
All new joint effort is subject to “new agreement”. It is clearly stated within PLA.
Why do u think there were “stated” joint r&d work for equipment automation?
It will take 50 machines to produce one million mid frames monthly.
Global cell phone demand is more than 100 million monthly. Granted 70% is low end right now. It is still 30 millions monthly.
Keep in mind today’s high end will become tomorrow’s low end.
200 machines (minimum buy) hardly make a dent to satisfy current demand never mind future demand.
Even 200 machines require $100 million capital investment of equipment and 100,000 dedicated manufacturing floor space. It is not for a faint of heart.
Yes, it is Foxconn land (not Eon land). Lugee has stated this over and over again.
Lugee plan to make money off equipment sales (and service revenue) via JV with LK.
This is all spell out in the Maze.
“i lose 50 pounds just from sweat...”
Lugee lost all his hair......LOL
We are all believer after all.
I think you are very much correct, especially in your notion that time is going to be the variable that will control the share price in the near term. Those looking to experience an explosive share increase are going to be very disappointed. It does take time and it is dangerous to try to hold off buying while waiting for the exact moment before the equity begins it's upward climb.
Those who sold at $.42 and are waiting to get back in certainly can't be faulted. They have made a good buck in the last three trading days and look like very smart people right now. Unfortunately, they will either have to buy back in soon or pony up most of their profits trying to catch up to what ought to be coming a few months or years down the road. If they take their profits and run they could be very sorry a couple of years from now.
This stock stuff can be real hard, and, seeing the "what ifs" on 20% rises and falls is wrenching. Those of us in it till the "end" have it easy. The traders are the ones who must be constantly deciding and second guessing themselves left and right.
2019, or bust !
Thx for the great post and DD. Keep up the Research....FYI.
From reading the thoughts from the posts here I get a strong feeling that most here are lost and using some sort of brail by touch or smell to explain positive or negative movement in LQMT. So let me get this straight. An outside investor poured $millions of dollars into this company from another company, bought a new headquarters, bought new equipment and on and on, and why? To FAIL. I think not!!!
If the outsider read some of the posts here about his company. I would think that he would be ashamed for most of the posts that doubt his intentions to succeed. The guessing, the chasing and the rumors are silly, based on fear, innuendo and gossip. However some here try to post the facts. This is not the first time LQMT has dropped a nickel or has gone up a nickel. Did you by the stock to make a quarter? If so, take your gains and move on.
It makes perfect sense for traders to sell when they make a profit. It makes sense for the stock to drop. But I get the feeling that many here are in it for more than a quarter to the upside. Relax, breathe and give the new CEO a little room to open the doors and celebrate. Do you really believe the CEO bought LQMT to throw his money down the drain? I think not!!!
You know the potential uses for LQMT. But with new patents more doors open up. LQMT WAS NOT BOUGHT OUT FOR IT's REVENUE. It was bought out for it's patents!!!! LQMT has limitations. But to the right industries the use of liquid metal/bulk metal glass can have an enormous value in revenue as well.
This post sounds so critical. But I am just trying to focus on the bigger picture and not the dots on the iii's and the crosses on the ttt's.
Good luck to all. It was not meant to be critical.
Majority is not enough to go private.

Rain can (much different than will) help anyone in the dry pond. With that being said, Rain water WILL NOT BE SPOON FEED.
Cart cannot come before the Horse. It has been tried for 20 years.
CE (or any industry for all that matter) MUST COMMERCIALIZE BMG before "ME TOO" industry will pay attention hence "fill the pond".
Elon Musk did not tap into BMG (by design). He ran into trouble for unique application of Falcon Wing car latch in Model X. That open up the "relationship". It does not mean he will apply BMG car latch in every single typical door (UNTIL BMG becomes commodity).
