Not bad at all, its great having a self made billionaire who is the CEO and the Biggest shareholder of lqmt, its his own damn money that his spending and he will make sure every cent counts.
Buying instead Renting, Best positive sign of how Big the orders lqmt has.
Exactly !! Li wouldn’t wast his own money and spend millions upfront if He doesn’t already have orders lined up. Buying a facility instead of renting Proves they have Yuge orders.
re Gamesc post on the 5 Apple/CIP patents.
Apple would not invest so much time and money if it didn’t have Yuge plans for BMG.
These aren’t vague conceptual patents, they are very specific and wide ranging.
You da man Gamesc, thanks for all your DD posts.
Patent is for “housing” and the first Image on patent is of an iMac, Holy sheet, not just frames for iPhones.
Apple has big plans for using Liquidmetal in different ways across its entire CE devices, just like it now uses BMG in many ways for internal parts of iDevices. Dome switches in MacBook keyboards, taptic springs in iPhones etc.
Rereading that article now knowing what has already transpired since, makes the article more relevant now than when it was first published.
We can look back and view it with a new perspective now that Li’s claims about Joint ventures to avoid competition and new machines for larger parts have become reality. Prof. Li truly is a visionary.
Looking forward to more of his claims coming to fruition, especially getting his lqmt shares listed on the main board. BOOM!!
So additionally any orders Eontec has outside of its Licensed areas will be automatically transferred to LMT. Nice work by Mr. Steipp, stealing Eontec customers.
Oh and LMT owns 100% CIP.
Anyone who wants to Inject mold BMG needs to talk to LMT First.
You can take that to the bank.
Followed by MacBooks, iMacs, Mac pro etc,
With devices from different manufactures starting to all look the same, and with Apple already having differentiated itself with its own superior Chip technology and Operating system, the next step is the Form Factor distinction, making Apple Devices Look different from the competition requires advanced materials. Anyone can use Aluminium but how many are allowed to inject mold BMG ?
I see the same, since the 25 cents hight pre-special CC, which turned out to be not so special, the price is still high. No dump so far after the CC and more news is on the way. Investors are accumulating lqmt.
Seriously if i had any more money i would have already thrown it all in, Pennies for Dollars, its a no-brainer decision.
From all the rumours about the 10 year anniversary iPhone, it sure 'feels' related.
There will be the usual iPhone 's' version update/upgrade as per usual this year,
but there will also be an iPhone X,
the 10 year anniversary iPhone which will feature some amazing and expensive technology,
an iPhone Pro model in limited quantities....... made in U.S.A. ????
2017 will be the year Apple finally showcases ALL its most advanced tech in the Flagship Anniversary Pro model iPhone.
Then that tech will slowly trickle down to its standard iPhone models.
re Gamesc translated post with thermal paste add inserts removed.
Not if its built Thick like Drumpf.
Pegatron is another Eontec customer and iPhone assembler looking to expand manufacturing in U.S.

Yeah nice how the commercial shows a Silver Liquid Alloy moving around at the bottom of the ocean and then the watch forms out of it.
I remember Apple using a Gold coloured Liquid Alloy in one of their iPhone commercials.
The ‘BMG-TECH’ is trademarked, Possibly they couldn’t trade mark ‘LiquidMetal-TECH’
Agree this must be on Engel machines from the description on the website, i hope its Not the European contract we have all been waiting for, don’t think it is since its already part of Swatch Group.
So you could say that the definition is Fluid
I guess Forging can be interpreted many different ways.
It sounds like extrusion from the article you linked.
If Li ever does hire Peker again they must make him sign a non-competitive clause.
But i think Li already got everything he wanted out of him.
Indeed Li will does have an answer for both, thats why he holds 405m lqmt shares.
Both companies will get orders and Li will make a profit from both companies.
Small LM105 parts would be a drop in the ocean compared to the BMG that Materion sells.
LM105 use would not even register or make a significant impact. Materion does not give such itemise revenue details.
Not until a large external case is being manufactured would it be significant enough volume to register on Matrions balance sheets, for now the material in just 1 external case can make thousand of small internal parts.
Apple is also allowed to use ANY supplier of BMG be it the LM105 formula or not.
Following the ingots does not help in this situation.
After the sim ejector claim, why would Ataken admit any further Apple use of BMG alloys?
Cause he is too busy selling himself to the highest bidder, its in Ataken’s own interest to keep any Apple use of BMG quiet, it keeps him employed by Chinese companies who think they still have a chance to beat LMT and Apple.
Why else did Ataken stop posting on his blog ?!
Still didn't work, Li needed LMT regardless of Ataken's cheaper inferior BMG Alloy.
So you only choose to accept Cult of Mac's reports but refute Patently Apple, Apple Insider, 9to 5 Mac, Mac Rumours etc. ?
Anyways, so after Apple tested the "manufacturing capabilities" are you claiming nothing happened since? No internal BMG parts or semi-amorphous parts?
Maybe if Ataken tried a little harder than simply looking at an ejector tool and saying 'wow', but then he would have to open up an iDevice and admit that Apple is using BMG in ways he did not anticipate.
So again please provide a Link to Apple's claim that the sim ejector tool is Liquidmetal.
Disgruntled ex-employees hearsay are not admissible.
Atakan Peker's Blog, reads like a disgruntled ex employee who has moved from company to company trying to find a home while trying to destroy LQMT. He has made BMG formula's for Eontec and Prometal based off LM105.
http://atakanpeker.com/
He claimed Liquidmetal would be the case of iPhones after the iPhone 5, including a Gold iPhone, i guess he didn't understand that Apple was more interested in pioneering internal BMG components than an External BMG case. Nor that partial amorphous cases are a huge leap forward. After all, Apple requirements are not the same as NASA's.
But it is LiquidMetal's fault for not making Ataken Peker sign a non-competitive clause.
So can you provide a link from Apple that claims the sim ejector tool is made from Liquidmetal?
Ok then, so the proof you have regarding the sim ejector tool being made from Liquidmetal is far, far, far less than the numerous patents published by Blogs claiming such things as, Speakers Grills, Taptic/Haptic Springs, Home Button, Watch Links, Water Proofing watch components, iPhone4 frame, Watch Case (semi- amorphous or restricted crystallisation) etc
Those parts have more documentation as being BMG than the sim ejector tool has.
But if you have the Link about the sim ejector tool then please provide.
Thats an expensive toy to play with, From the Special CC Q3 '16. Prof. Li ~
Sir, Apple is already using small BMG parts in its iDevices, it just does not use the Trade mark name of LiquidMetal.
Are the BMG parts made from LiquidMetal Alloy LM105? I have no idea.
Are they Injection Molded on Engel machines? No, well i don't believe so, too small to be injection molded.
More likely they are stamped then hot formed and extruded then hot rolled.
Oh i just can't resist this request,
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=121161241
Don't think that you heard it.
It was written.
I know.
I wrote it.
I did not speak it.
What are all investors going to do when the 55 million financing package falls through the cracks.
It's probably a real good idea to develop a plan B.
I'm always confused about what Exactly is the TTA, i see its referred to as "technical assistance or technology transfer agreements." in the MTA
So i suppose that as whenever Apple requests work or info from LMT then the TTA is always active.
As i said in a previous post, LQMT and EON engineers have already been working together testing each others alloys and manufacturing methods.
Li would not wast his own money ordering a new machine just to test it, that has already been done.
Steipp and Li have stated that both company engineers have already being working closely together testing all alloys,
so the testing and prototyping would have already been done.
Li can have Eontec test any prototype Before spending his own money on an Eontec machine.
