Clearly, Glassimetals R&D has surpassed that of Eontec.
Lugee Li is ALREADY a BAGHOLDER of record for 6 YEARS.
Steipp new this when he dumped LQMT Valencia on him, leaving Eontec and LQMT shareholders with a bag of brown stuff.
Bill Johnson's team, now under lead of Mario Demetriou, has taken the lead in commericalization.
Essentially, Zirconium based glassy metals will NEVER go MAINSTREAM when it comes to the choicest of bulk amorphous metals. This is why Lugee dumped all over the US shareholders and having a 3 man team at LQMT Valencia is a frickin joke. They are permanently stuck in the past with sheet technology, at best, for a very limited NICHE MARKET. Why do you think Materion PULLED OUT. Try to find anything mainstream about Engel BMG machines. HA. Another JOKE!
HISTORY, folks, HISTORY.
Time to move on with those doing the heavy lifting, like Glassimetals et alia:
https://www.glassimetal.com/materials Note this is a 2022 UPDATE. Look at all the alternatives to the UBER EXPENSIVE, LIMITED TEMPERATURE USE RANGE, Zirconium based BMG's
All my own opinion. I do know how to do DD and not fantasize NON EXISTANT MAZES invented by a NON EXISTANT person.

Reservations for Fisker Pear Surpass 3,000
MidJune 2022 Staff
LOS ANGELES – Fisker Inc. reported Wednesday that the electric vehicle it plans to manufacture at Foxconn’s Lordstown plant will be revealed during the second half of 2023, with production to begin in 2024.
To date, more than 3,200 reservations have been placed for the as yet unseen Fisker Pear, an acronym for Personal Electric Automotive Revolution, the company said.
Prototype testing for the Pear is slated for late 2022.
“The over 3,200 reservations already for the Fisker Pear indicate this revolutionary mobility device, designed for city dwellers, demonstrates customers are ready for Fisker to deliver the 21st century’s most innovative vehicle,” said Fisker CEO and Chairman Henrik Fisker. “The Fisker Pear’s cool new features and technologies – and affordable pricing below $29,900 – are designed specifically for the customer of the future.”
The EV company describes the Pear as a “sporty crossover” that includes a first-ever “Houdini” trunk, an alternative to rear-cargo hatches.
“Intended for a metropolitan lifestyle, Fisker Pear ‘s interior will offer a new level of storage for its segment,” the company said. “Design-wise, the beltline and side window area are extremely low, with a large, wraparound windscreen affording a commanding view when driving. The Pear will be available in rear-wheel-drive, single motor, and all-wheel-drive, dual motor, configurations featuring four levels of option packages.”
The Fisker Pear offers two battery packs, with the larger hyper range pack targeted at over 310 miles per charge, the company announded. The Pear will also come equipped with a SolarSky panoramic roof, adding emissions-free range to the battery.
Last month, Fisker confirmed plans to manufacture the Pear at Lordstown after Taiwan-based tech giant Foxconn purchased the plant from Lordstown Motors Corp. for $230 million.
In March 2021, Foxconn and Fisker signed a contract manufacturing agreement in which Foxconn would produce the Pear at the Lordstown plant.
CEO Fisker has said the company could manufacture up to 250,000 EVs annually at Lordstown.
Fisker is currently developing the Fisker Ocean, an electric SUV at a plant in Austria. The company announced Wednesday that more than 50,000 reservations are in place for that vehicle, which will begin production Nov. 17, 2022.
Who wants to fly from China to the USWC just to eat barbecue and kimshi in someone's backyard in Garden Grove and risk getting mad cow disease or, HEAVENS, the latest iteration of COVID from Shanghai dropped off in California?
In this day and age, who among us still uses the term, "Heavens, no"?
I always used to hear my mother say that, back in the day.
But haven't heard that at all in the younger male generations.
What I usually here from the men is, "Hell, no".
Just sayin.
Gotta love that guy, Joe Manchin. only pragmatic with a set in a sea of dingles.
No frickin way that GM and Ford should be subsidized.
Take away their cake and let them eat it, too. LOL!
The wolf is actually a chihuahua with a voice modulator.
Squeek to a squawk.
Totally spot on, Abracky. Nice post.
Looking Good
What happened to all the revenue from the Team Steippers?
I thought that Adam Verrault was supposed to shift some Space X business to Liquidmetal.
How come the OKeeffe couple didn't shift any business our way from Edwards Life Sciences and USC?
And why hasn't that English banger, Glenton Jelbert kicked in.
And what about the chess set genius. Shouldn't we be getting royalties from all of their patents that have gone into production?
Finally, just what the EFF is Isaac Bresnick doing to earn his paycheck to support his Orange County life style?

Lordstown Motors Stock Trades at All-Time Low
LORDSTOWN, Ohio – Lordstown Motors Corp. stock briefly traded at a new 52-week low Thursday, bottoming out at $1.48 per share shortly after 2 p.m., then turning slightly upward later in the afternoon.
The startup electric-vehicle manufacturer, which trades under the ticker RIDE, ended the trading session at $1.54 per share, or 6.6% lower than Wednesday’s close.
RIDE stock has lost 62.3% of its value over the last six months and is down 36% over the last month.
Overall stocks sank Thursday, as investors expressed concerns over the Federal Reserve’s historic interest rate hike on Wednesday to curb inflation, fearing it could plunge the economy into a recession.
The Nasdaq Composite, where RIDE is listed, fell more than 4% and is down 30% year-to date. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 741 points to under 30,000 on Thursday.
Lordstown Motors recently sold its Lordstown Assembly plant to Foxconn for $230 million. The EV company also entered into a contract manufacturing agreement with Foxconn to produce Lordstown Motors’ first product, the all-electric Endurance pickup.
Another joint venture partnership calls for the companies to build future Lordstown Motors vehicles on Foxconn’s mobility-in-harmony, or MIH, EV platform.
Lordstown Motors executives have said that they need to raise additional capital this year to put the Endurance into production. The company projects manufacturing just 500 EV pickups this year and another 2,500 in 2023.
Production slated to begin mid-July 2022.

Crap.
Interesting comments on the alleged NDA's.
There are many reasons for an NDA.
But of late, I have come to believe that the main reason for a Liquidmetal NDA agreement is that a prospective customer is embarrassment protection. A company is too embarrassed to admit publicly that they actually got snookered into some arrangement with Dumbju Chung.
If I had 250 million in operating losses, like Lugee Li has with LQMT Valencia, I sure as hell would want to make some profits PRONTO to be offset with all the loss carry-forward.
Hell, even a stupid Lawyer, Financial type like Dumbju Chung should figure out the math here.
LQMT is never HERE and never THERE. It is the most phuqed up managed company I have ever encountered in my investment career.
When LQMT goes Bankrupt, who owns CIP?
Ah Ha!
The shoe fits.
From Lugee Li on downward.
Should have listened to Bill Johnson when he told me Lugee Li was a big bag of wind.
It should be clear to all that Joshua Eye U is Isaac Bresnick.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/foxconn-starts-building-a-plant-for-electric-vehicle-batteries-in-taiwan-11655290602
Taiwan’s Foxconn Technology Group started building its first plant to produce electric-car batteries Wednesday, the contract electronics manufacturer’s latest step into the booming electric-vehicle industry.
Foxconn said it plans to invest about 6 billion New Taiwan dollars, equivalent to about $200 million, on battery production lines and a research-and-development center in Kaohsiung city in southern Taiwan.
There, Foxconn will produce lithium iron phosphate batteries, a kind of battery technology touted by Tesla Inc. Foxconn plans to test production of those battery cells at the plant in early 2024, it said.
Best known as the biggest contract assembler of Apple Inc.’s iPhones, Foxconn has been trying to expand into the electric-vehicle industry in recent years to improve its profit margins.

Foxconn Chairman Young Liu said the company wants to build an electric-car-battery supply chain in Taiwan.
Taiwan’s place in the world’s economy—already boosted by its dominance in the global semiconductor supply chain—could be further improved if it developed a battery supply chain, local industry executives have said.
“We hope to localize Taiwan’s battery supply chain, from the upstream materials, to the midstream cells and the downstream packs,” Mr. Liu said at the groundbreaking ceremony.
Last year, Foxconn introduced EV prototypes, which it designed together with a Taiwanese car maker. In March, it started to deliver electric buses designed by a Foxconn-led open platform.
Foxconn is also building electric-car manufacturing bases overseas. It recently acquired the Ohio factory of cash-strapped electric-vehicle maker Lordstown Motors Corp., while in Indonesia, it is developing electric-vehicle and battery-cell production plants jointly with Taiwanese electric-scooter maker Gogoro Inc.
Not even close to 30 million. What spreadsheet have you been reading lately?
The central issue with LQMT Valencia is that it has no people assets capable of making a buck and it is lawyer heavy: Two lawyers at the top who have no manufacturing experience. The contracts they have made are bad, but the contracts they haven't made are even worse.
Can you imagine what any serious parts customer thinks when these two clowns show up at a trade show? "Uh, wait a minute, ask McHughes." "sure, we have a lot of samples...they were made years ago and most before Apple bailed out our company.
What a shame! or should I say, What a SHAM.
What happened to our ZIPPO marketing company in Ireland?
Uh ZIPPO.
Again, when LQMT goes bankrupt, who will own Crucible Intellectual Properties?
This is a pivotal question which none here have addressed.
It is key to LQMT's ultimate survival.
The market makers are trolling now to get new funds into the market. Very few investors are putting money into a bottomless pit.
A stock market cannot operate without new money coming in.
Unfortunately, BITCOIN and the like sucked MASSIVE MONEY OUT of the STOCK MARKET. It seems the Robber Barons are now keeping their reserves in CASH until some bottom forms in the equities market.
Even an opinion must have a basis.
What's your basis?
It doesn't need to be sound.
If no basis, it's nothing but a brain fart. Don't you agree?
(Well, I guess it could be just an ordinary fart)
If LQMT goes BK, Who owns and controls CIP? Isn't this the only reason Lugee Li keeps LQMT alive?
Anyways, I am a strong believer that ultimately, AAPL will be the big driver for Foxconn developing the EV in the near term. I don't believe that AAPL totally abandoned project Titan that Zableski originated and led until his departure in 2019.
Foxconn needs AAPL and AAPL needs Foxconn.
I kinda think that Foxconn is a stalking horse for AAPL's ultimate entry and dominance in the market place, rivaling TESLA for the EV market.
I honestly believe that it was Tim Cook's replacing Steve Jobs that upset the LQMT applecart. You will recall that it was under Steve Jobs that LQMT got its first break with Apple, and a lot of that had to do with Steve Zadeski and Jonnie Ive, both of whom departed AAPL under Tim Cook.
It was Zadeski who signed the Aug 2010 deal for AAPL with Dongju Chung of LQMT, cause Steipp wasn't yet installed as President as I recall and was only a consultant at LQMT at the time.
Basically, it's been Tim Cook run amok that has ruined LQMT. Jobs, Zadeski and Ive were family men....Cook...not so much. He totally changed the culture at Apple.
Recall also that most of the LQMT Engineers and Scientists who went to Apple to cement relationships went before Steve Jobs died.
Wait until we find out how much money Dongju Chung has lost on our cash from his investments....
Correction: So LMC is simply a white albatross for Foxconn?
Regardless, I welcome this retracement with open arms and will be a huge buyer at 1.40
So you think that Foxconn has no interest in having LMC succeed with the Endurance? Not a white knight? But LMC is simply a white albatross for LMC? Sounds like jumping into FMC would be your thing, eh? LOL!
Oh ye men of little faith....
Have you forgotten we have already been in this territory, when the markets were good? Nothing wrong with a re-test...in fact, a retest is totally mandatory for this stock.
Won't be long until the buy signal is issued.
If you as an investor want to answer a lot of questions about LQMT and its relationship to Eontec and Apple, just simply determine who are the current officers of Crucible Intellectual Properties.

Today, the name of the game is capitulation and when it happens.
End of discussion.
the Foxconn-Lordstown alliance has the sweet smell of an AAPL all over it.

Has anyone ever heard of AAPL going into a partnership with Foxconn?
Has anyone ever heard of AAPL buying out a struggling company?
Has anyone ever heard of Foxconn being a stalking horse for AAPL?
Unequivocally, I rubber stamp this post:
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=169089000
It is irrefutable.
Just as previous COB Abdi Mahamedi and CEO Tom Steipp had to bow out "honorably", so, too, must Lugee Li and Dongju Chung take full responsibility for the FAILURE of LQMT Valencia Circle to Generate any revenue from the sale of product (not including royalties from SWATCH, revenues from Martin Guitar, and whoever survives from a dated customer list.
The Peter Principle REIGNS supreme in the two highest seats of LQMT management.
Yah, but what about the rest of the last six years of NOTHING BURGERS?
Riddle me that, Sherlock!
