Don't be sorry, its what you want, right?
I can't complain, i also want that too, but not like that.
I believe that has already been taken care off, how? by doing nothing and letting China be China.
The yuan is a bubble only floated on the backs of a billion plus, near-slave-labour citizens.
(and holding trillions of USD)
Real estate is a bubble, Ghost cities built by states for no reason other than to raise GDP.
Banks are a complete mystery, State controlled too.
Other asian neighbours are becoming more attractive (cheaper) to global companies.
Watts a better question to ask ?
"How many Engel machines does Jabil have and how many of those machines are able to be adapted to use BMG if not already specifically made for BMG?"
You are welcome.
After all MTRN is a supplier not an OEM.
Lqmt is tweeting an old 2012 article regarding lqmt and MRI machines, looks like its finally possible thanks to Engel,
Old news yes, but the difference now is that lqmt finally has injection molding machines that can do these things. Where Visser failed Engel has succeeded, and taking lqmt along for the ride :)
Right on the Cusp of Commercialisation.

So Steipp gave an indication of what would be the minimum income they would expect from a contract.
You can multiply that endlessly, 1 knife is 100k-200k, what happens when MA starts making other lqmt designs?
What happens when dozens of knife makers come to lqmt and order several designs?
What happens if those orders are above the 100k-200k example given, there are many knife makers with huge volume compared to MA.
And thats just in knives.
Oh thats easy, S Jobs was not CEO anymore and the rich kids at Apple have taken over, who could have predicted Apple would start making 37k watches, S Jobs would not have allowed that to happen, and thats where my DD failed.
Now please explain ALL your hundreds off posts over the last decade telling everyone how lqmt will make millions.
Oh ..... and the metals in the AppleWatch are Semi-amorphous right?
Don't you remember the patents from Apple regarding "Restricting Crystallisation" ?
And don't worry, amorphous metals are being manufactured in molds, Engel is already doing it :)
You need to TRY HARDER, search more, find something better.
So just to recap, I am right, the alloys in the AppleWatch are indeed (semi)Amorphous.
I remember going through with aapl shares, i did well BUT i sold way way too early :(
Lesson learned, need to buy at the right time AND sell at the right time.
Best chart reading ever :)
Agree, looks like the charts are turning into rocket man.
Thats what the chart says, or rather how you interpreted a selected time span,
but what i really want to know is...... what do the tea leaves tell us ?
So i guess it means you will now sell your holdings and wait until the charts give indication to buy back in, after the dilution, right?
Or i guess you are hoping it has that effect on others?
Seriously, all the chart reading/guessing in the world amounts to zer0.
I'd guess that most investors are just waiting for a major contract to be announced before deciding what to do next, easy guess, its human nature to wait and see.
Those are my guesses for the day, feel free to add yours.

You can add ANY manufacturer to that list,
hows that for a knee jerk reaction to an ill-considered question ?
Maybe you should do your own DD instead of asking others to do it for you, right?
So lqmt is cheaper than both CNC & MIM, and that was 2 years ago with no economies-of-scale to lower the costs.
News keeps getting better from here.

Better than being on the Precipice
I would have loved to order the MA knife but there are restrictions here in Australia, i'll wait for Leatherman to make a lqmt multi-tool and finally replace my old Titanium Charge multi-tool.
First multi-tool guaranteed not to rust? cause right now the blades are steel, just the handles are Titanium.
Can't wait for the outdoors/sporting manufactures to see what Miltner-Adams is doing,
monkey see monkey do :)

Does anything from this article (posted May 1 2015) tell you that Jabil/Nypro would NOT do anything the customers want?
So you say "no" cause if it is "yes" then we would already have heard about Nypro involvement.
No one can argue with that logic, your on your own with that one.
That's definitely possible, won't surprise anyone if some manufactures contract lqmt directly to make parts, just like MA knife, small start but its never happened before.
Absolutely, thats how i see it, lqmt is now very flexible and willing to do what the customers want, to learn from potential customers whats the best way to get lqmt into markets, and those pesky NDA's keep us out of the loop for now.
It could also be the Apple patents granted today regarding liquidmetal, Gamesc posted the link earlier.

Maybe i should join his parish, get me some extra shares lolz
New iPhone6s rumour
Those RFQ numbers are going to skyrocket for June, after the MA knife and Engel show, should be good news.
Lqmt also did a good job building trust internally with the MSR’s because they spend their own money to make these contracts happen, awesome way to have motivated sales representatives without all the expenses. Smart move for a cash strapped company.
Mesa complex is always a possibility thanks to the Apple partnership, i have a crazy theory here, what if another certified LM licensee is Jabil, they use Engel machines,bought a healthcare supplier,

http://www.nypro.com/
http://www.ebnonline.com/author.asp?section_id=1084&doc_id=272427
are expanding in San Jose, they have a "customer experience center that will demonstrate Jabil's experience and capabilities,"
http://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2014/08/18/jabil-leases-sobrato-building-in-south-san-jose-to.html?page=all
It wouldn’t take much to converts a few of Jabil’s Engel machines to use lqmt,
or order new ones to work alongside other Engel machines on the factory floor,
lqmt then becomes another part of the entire production line, no need to convert everything to lqmt,
-lqmt making lots of parts that go into other products, a small piece of that pie is Huge :)
Jabil is also alleged to supply Apple, not the best link but its more informative of Jabil’s scope and reach.
http://9to5mac.com/2013/09/05/china-labor-watch-levels-numerous-labor-law-violations-at-alleged-apple-supplier-jabil-circuit/
Jabil seems to actively seek joint manufacturing partnerships with companies to sell products.

so yeah i’m waiting for Jabil to use lqmt or get an order to supply its use in a product, and then its a happy time for all :)
I believe long term lqmt is looking for manufacturing companies to licenses lqmt then go and buy all the Engel machines and BMG they need, lqmt just collects royalties. These small tactical contracts greatly help promote what lqmt is now capable of.
Indeed its great news, especially when you consider that potential customers must have been pessimistic and tired of hearing that lqmt is the new wonder material, being told that for several years but seeing nothing and knowing that lqmt had management issues must have turned away a lot of customers in the past, but yet here they are returning in ever increasing numbers, that part shows how much confidence customers have in lqmt now.
I believe he means the specifications where overhyped.
We all know he is connected, even saw him talk about it in a youtube video and i am still glade he is out of the picture, Steipp is doing a fantastic job getting lqmt back to commercialisation, my point about the name dropping is that its good to see Vmatter/Kang use lqmt to try and elevate themselves, gives more credibility to lqmt.
Great link thanks, Kang looks like a wanna be physicist while Dahl looks like Mr Monopoly only missing the top hat.
