Is it only the R&D Center or also the corresponding Amorphous Alloy (Liquid Metal) Precision Structure Parts Industrialization Expansion Project ?
Engel is a plastic injection molding machine company, that is their core function. They created the Liquidmetal injection molding machine by simply adapting one of their existing plastic machines to handle Liquidmetal. And they continued to call it injection molding as it matches their other machine processes. The only difference in general between injection molding and die casting is the former is generally used for plastics/polymers and the latter for metals. Specifically between the Engel and Eon machines, I believe one uses a heated mold and the other doesn't. I suspect that this may be how Eon got around the exclusivity issue with Engel as LQMT goes out of their way to clarify that the two machines are different.
You are correct that the relationship with Engel has changed. We know the exclusivity agreement had to change because they now have two Eon machines next to the Engel machines at LF. We don't know what the new relationship is. I am sure Engel will be happy to sell more machines if Lqmt finds the right customers for them. But it seems like their sales prospects have shifted to the less costly Eon machines and formulas.
It's not necessarily a bad thing, considering how this CEO has run this company, it would be reasonable to expect some level of accomplishment for this reward. So it could be a bullish sign for shareholders. Let's hope whatever was (apparently) accomplished can be made public.
No, granted by the company. Certainly better be some news following this handout to the Board members.

Must be a coincidence?
While the majority of Josh's posts are excellent, I agree in that he did not state his point very well. Not to put words in his mouth, but I think he has stated numerous times before that CE is the quickest path to mass production. Which will lead to fast, large jumps in revenue (from non CE customers on the sidelines) and corresponding share price appreciation. Without CE, it is a much longer and uphill battle (with higher chance of failure). It can still be accomplished, just little by little. That is my view anyway. Until I see a non-CE "whale" customer step to the plate, my opinion will remain as such.
Yes CE is not on LQMTs website, it never has been. Any investor knows this and knows there is still potential for CE as much goes on behind the scenes that is not made public. But saying CE is out of the picture because it is not on their website, is flat out false. By the way, CE is on the LQMTCHINA website. How would rationalize this?
CE has always been the wildcard with this company and always will be, at least until something is made public.
These are recent changes to Yihao's website that were not there a week ago. Clearly using our trademark. This must be our large scale manufacturer in China. Expect this to be announced on the conference call. Also interesting to see the wireless earbuds there (this is new also). No BMG stylus (Apple Pencil) there though.
We do have an Apple event coming this Tuesday with many new hardware devices being released.
I cannot as that was an existing Eon customer prior to these companies coming together. Just like Tesla. These are question marks.
Feel free to contact the company and speak to them. They can provide more info for you.
Though my first post was clear, there is no longer LQMT only formulas or Eon only formulas. Both companies use all formulas. Licensing of all of this is done geographically. All formulas in LQMT territory is licensed to LQMT with royalties to them and all formulas in Eon territory is licensed to Eon with royalties to them.
Now that the formulas are merged, licensing is merely determined geographically. All formulas sold in LQMT territory will licensed to them and all in Eon's territory to them. This does exclude CE. That is a whole different animal and I still think Apple is playing a role in this area.
First of all, the revenue stream back to LQMT or Eon in the case of JV's manufacturing, would be royalties. If you haven't noticed, they have merged all the formulas between companies. So there is no Eon only formula or LQMT only formula. It is all about sales territory. Any bmg part produced by a JV in China will have royalties paid to either Eon or LQMT based on territory of sale.
This board has become more a child care facility than an investment discussion. As far as treatment of shareholders, nothing has changed with this company in many years. Everyone bought into the company knowing this.
Acting like a whiny five year old constantly complaining does no good for anyone. Please grow a pair and take responsibility for your investment actions.
No, we will be receiving revenue for all items sold in our territories.
"Customer prospects", not "customer".
Again, let's keep it real here.
Obviously not true, otherwise you would not be invested here.
Actually, everything I checked on in his report (that I could) appears factually correct. He does seem to have some kind of contact in that country feeding him fairly decent info. It's certainly alot more than we are told. It does appear that Li is in process of setting up large manufacturing in China. What has not fully in focus is how and what percentage comes to LQMT US. The good thing is that it only need be a small percentage based on the size and scope of what is being constructed.
Thanks, this is an interesting patent as it claims to address the golf club issue of repetition fatigue. Glad it is CIP.
You have this patent as applied for by CIP ( first patent in your post), but there is no assignee and the inventors look to be Glassimetal reps. Are you sure this isn’t a Glassimetal patent and not CIP?

So at the end of the day, this only dropped 0.001. For those unaware, Apple is expected to announce their new iPad and Macs next week (though no announcement yet). So today was likely someone trying to pick up some cheap shares just in case.
Most of his sales were exercised options, correct. Exercised at the point he left, correct?
PH was likely forced out and forced to sell.
TC simply picked up a bunch of options and sold his shares to put his $ in his pocket and play with house $ instead.
I'm sorry but that's now what will happen in a merger. And no I am not going to explain it to you. Please go study for yourself the different types of mergers and how the stocks are handled in each.
"The reason the criteria is irrelevant (at least to me) is because the transaction doesn’t make sense."
Um....yes, it doesn't make sense unless you take in the full context. Which is the pledging/promising/stating that the companies may merge in the future would only be done when LQMT is profitable. Then it makes perfect sense, because by then the share price will be in dollars. Hence my statement.
You missed the entire point. Your statement was false as you merely stated the Li was going to pledge (promise, merge, whatever) his shares to LQMT. But you omitted the fact that he stated this will ONLY be considered once LQMT is profitable. The most important aspect of his statement. It’s called lying by omission (and our media does it constantly). So let’s keep it honest here.
New iPad Pro coming later this month. With a new Apple Pencil...and usb-c port....

Dolby's new product is Dolby Atmos which is a new sound system for laptops, pc's and other electronics. A number of brands use the technology. Including soon to be added to Apple tv.

From Eontec Investor Relations Meeting June 2018:
"(6) Will LQMT be incorporated into Eontec?
A: Because LQMT is still in a loss state, it will not be incorporated into Eontec. In the future, if LQMT is profitable, it will considered to be merge into Eontec at the right time. Thank you!"
Please don't state non-factual information here - you are just adding to the problem. Li never stated he would sleep at LF to make it successful, he gave an example of his commitment by telling us that he slept on the floor of Eon when building that company. He also never said he would pledge LQMT shares back to Eon, what was stated was that consideration would be given to merge the companies if (and only if) LQMT becomes profitable. By that time, this stock will be in the multiple dollars in price and most here will be long gone with their profits.
From Eontec Investor Relations Meeting June 2018:
"The company has mastered the core technology of Liquid Metal machinery and equipment. The company's independent research and development of liquid metal machinery and equipment can complete the whole process of high vacuum, precision molding parts can be molded once, can achieve high precision, strength and surface effects, and the part consistency is close to precision machining level. At present, small quantities of machinery and equipment are produced by the company. In order to lay out the Liquid Metal industry and meet future market demand, the company has established Shenzhen Lian Liquid Metal Equipment Co., Ltd. together with Anke and Hong Kong Liquid Metal, specializing in amorphous alloy machinery and equipment and its accessories technology research and development, production and sales."
If you go back and read my posts from when the Bond article first came out, you will see that I stated this. LQMT was never part of CYYT. Error on his part. LQMT is part of Shenzhen Li'an Liquid Metal Equipment Co., Ltd. This JV is owned by Dongguan Yi'an Technology Co., Ltd. (40%), Anke Company Limited (35%), and Liquid metal co., ltd.(25%).
Look up Anke to learn more about this company.
Seriously? Apple does this all the time. They continuously have controlled leaks hinting of all sorts of potential products from self driving cars, to folding phones and clothing with embedded electronics. There's an entire section of media that feeds on these "leaks". It's an integral part of their advertising and a clear competitive strategy.
You must be joking. What evidence do you have to show Apple has been working with Gallium for watches. The only farce is your comments.
How many times does this need to be posted. This is NOT a quote from anyone. It is the exact language used by Apple right on their product. It is right in the watch face gallery on the new iPhone. It is Apples own words, no one else.
Lqmt hk was set up solely to move his money from China to the US. It doesn't serve any operational purpose.
There is a lot of information on the LQMTCHINA website which goes far beyond the US website. For example, there is information on iron based amorphous alloys and cobalt based amorphous alloys. And at the bottom of the page, titanium based amorphous alloys and magnesium based also. These is very promising as it indicates that these formulas are under the LQMT umbrella now.
Yeh, I'm really sure that's the case (NOT).
Apple has already stated that the material has been used in the watch. Now Li is clearly putting Apple products on the LQMTCHINA website. It is becoming more and more evident that this material is making it into Apple's product line. Better get used to that reality. But thanks for the comments Watts.
