Why would he do this when he will receive 7.5M shares a year from now?
The price dropped from 17 to 12 cents in a matter of days with over 20 million traded. You can believe what you want, any rational person could see what happened. As the other poster noted, he never discloses his actual position. So continuing to parrot the 16 M share lie is disingenuous at best.
“JB would never disclose his ACTUAL POSITION”
At least you got that part right.
Are you aware of when he had to pay the $2.4M fine? Did you ever look at the historical share prices and trades? And compare that to when he paid the fine?

Take a look at March 27, 2022 to April 5, 2022. Prices was spiked up to 16 cents then someone sold off big time. When do you think he was required to pay the fine? Same exact timeframe. He has screwed so many investors, including the fools here who still think he owns 16M shares! Not even close. He owns a small fraction of this at best.
Please learn who "Jason Bond" is and the crimes he has committed.

Again, does anyone know what’s going on with our manufacturer’s website?
About Dongguan Yihao Metal Technology
China-based Dongguan Yihao Metal Technology Co., Ltd. was founded in November 2014 and has developed BMG technology for more than a decade to provide expertise in all aspects of BMG manufacturing. The Company operates out of a 200,000 square foot facility in the province of Guangdong and maintains more than 90 BMG manufacturing machines to service its customers. For more information, go to www.yihaometal.com.
Does anyone know why Yihao’s website is down??
It has been down for two weeks now.
That's an astute observation. What it essentially means is that our licensing and royalties revenue is not stable currently. While we saw a substantial uptick this third quarter, we are still lower YTD from last year. You can see in 2022, the first 6 months had very good licensing and royalties revenue but then dropped off in the third quarter of 2022. In 2023, the first 6 months didn't have much licensing and royalties revenue, but there was an uptick this past quarter.
What we need to see is steady, sustainable growth in these revenues. And it is not there yet.
@Dannolicious @RBJasonBond @TheParakleet @jotu
Sorry you are so upset about my posts. But it quite clear to me that the brand means everything. It's the only thing we own. It has nothing to do with price, only to do with where revenue is directed .
Let me try to explain this to this group again. When 106C came out, it was not patented. This is highly unusual. Companies generally protect their IP vigorously. The excuse at the time was that it didn't matter because the machines and process are patented. But the fact that 106C was not patented, means it is not legally part of the PLA. So we have no specific, legal rights to this formula. Yes the machines are patented, but they are all located in China. So how do we have any claim to all this supposed expansion going on over there? It isn't our money buying these machines, so it is reasonable to assume we have no legal rights to them. So Li uses his machines to make an unpatented material and sells it in the US as "amorphous alloy" or something generic, or covers it with an NDA. What right do we have to any revenue? I have good reason to believe the hinges for Motorola Razor, Samsung Z fold 5, and (according to Josh) OnePlus Open. And we have seen zero revenue. We know Huawei is selling their Watch in Europe and it has "liquid metal" (multiple models for a couple years now) and we have seen zero revenue. You have to be willfully ignorant at this point not to understand that unless "Liquidmetal" brand is used, we will not see revenue. This seems the obvious conclusion to me, and feel free to prove otherwise.
Now, right around the time 106C came out, Josh stated that Apple asked Li for exclusive rights to his material. But he turned them down (Huawei made same request which he also turned down). I don't know how Josh knew this, but he has been a credible source. If Apple wanted exclusive rights, then they had to be ready to give serious money to Li to build the infrastructure. Which would have made this company worth a hell of a lot more than now. But instead Li turned to the CCP government for funding. This changes the entire picture. Since most of the current "mass production" infrastructure is owned by the CCP, Li doesn't have the same control. And the companies in China are certainly going to prosper long before we see anything. I'm sure Li still wants to make $ for his LQMT investment, but it is a different path now .
Now, regarding the Liquidmetal brand (or you can say trademark), why isn't Liquidmetal selling their trademarked product outside of guitar pins? Seems like they should be able to sell more, right? So what's holding it back? Eontec claims to have mass production in place according to their Q&A. Why no sales and revenue? We've been asking this for years now. It has made no logical sense outside of the reason that Apple is holding us back as they plan to use it. And they very well may. But, it has become clear that this has become our only path to revenue. Forget all other options, at least until Apple uses the Liquidmetal brand. And that is a big if as it is obvious how difficult it is to get into their ecosystem. We know that Apple protected the brand a few years ago which is a sign they are still interested. But CIP just let the trademark for CE & auto expire. Not sure the significance of this but generally not positive. I'm sure Li is still working with Apple and trying to get in, but it will not be easy. And I really hope Apple doesn't choose to buy Li's material and not use the brand. That would be disastrous. If we start seeing more and larger orders from other companies for "Liquidmetal", then I would be worried. But the fact that the pinions were not even announced or made public (outside of the trademark filing) tells me they are still banking on Apple. So forget about hinges, forget about all the non-apple products people are speculating about. No revenue to us untill Apple uses our brand. That alone will make the stock price over $1, which will make TC happy. And probably why he signed that agreement. I am still cautiously optimistic, but more importantly, realistic about how this company can succeed.
https://liquidmetal.com/wearables/
And another....these non-live web pages have been around since last fall.
To me it seems like they thought they were going to make a big announcement last fall but it never happened.
https://liquidmetal.com/consumer-electronics/
Here's another web page that isn't live.
There are a bunch of them...
No it is a real website, just not a live website. Just like this website:
Liquidmetal.com/cellphone
It shows a Samsung foldable phone at this website. And has the Yihao logo which is not on any of the live web pages.
I don't know what to make of it, but they are actual websites in the Liquidmetal domain which they did not make live. They probably don't even know these web pages can be seen by the public. Maybe they need better website maintenance staff.
This is not a live website, just like all the other non-live websites that have been found....
Liquidmetal.com/cellphones
Etc.....
BRAND RECOGNITION. Apple must use the Liquidmetal brand to benefit us. Revenue is not that important as the company only burns $4M annually (peanuts). Getting validation of the Liquidmetal brand from Apple means everything.
Average Chinese investor doesn't have access to US markets.
The Laughable Pivot Some in the Media Are Taking Over Trump's Tax Returns
They have wanted these sensitive documents for years. Donald Trump’s tax returns have been viewed as the Holy Grail of scandal for the Left. It’s the smoking gun they’ve lusted for, and now they came into possession of these documents after a lengthy legal battle between Trump’s lawyers and House Democrats. The Supreme Court failed to intervene after multiple lower courts had ruled against the former president regarding keeping these files under seal.
Spencer wrote about it first—and it was a nothing burger. It might have been an even bigger dud than the Russian collusion hoax. Trump’s tax returns from 2015-2020 showed what we all knew about the former president: he got poorer being president. The cost to his real estate and business empire is not a secret. Trump often joked that he could be doing something other than dealing with Democratic Party attacks and liberal media lies but wanted to save the country.
The liberal obsession with Trump’s tax returns did lead to media leaks. The New York Times and other outlets obtained past returns, with the Times proceeding to write lengthy exposes that no one read. It also found no ties to Russia, which further torched the collusion delusion that engulfed progressive America.
Now, with no evidence of felonious activity, the Times is pivoting to say that the latest trove of returns, the big reveal, showed that the former president’s business prowess isn’t what was advertised (via NYT):
House Democrats released six years of former President Donald J. Trump’s tax records on Friday, offering new insight into his business dealings that further undermined his long-cultivated image as a wildly successful businessman.
The release on Friday morning contained thousands of pages of tax documents, including individual returns for Mr. Trump and his wife, Melania, as well as business returns for several of the hundreds of companies that make up his sprawling business organization. It followed the release of reports from Democrats on the Ways and Means Committee that showed Mr. Trump had paid a total of $1.1 million in federal income taxes in the first three years of his presidency, but paid no tax in 2020 as his income dwindled and losses mounted.
The document disclosure drew rebukes and threats of retaliation from Mr. Trump and his Republican allies in Congress, who suggested that once their party takes over the House on Jan. 3, they may seek to disclose tax returns filed by Democratic politicians, Supreme Court justices and members of President Biden’s family, such as his son Hunter.
The documents appeared to show that Mr. Trump violated his campaign promise to donate his salary as president, at least in 2020, when he reported no charitable giving of any kind. They also suggested Mr. Trump’s tax bill may have gone up because of a change in his signature 2017 tax overhaul: a limitation on the deduction of state and local taxes paid.
But the returns, which cover the tax years 2015 through 2020, do not show much success for Mr. Trump in his recent business dealings. They show Mr. Trump often reported heavy losses from his own ventures, even as he continued to cash in on assets he inherited.
You must roll over laughing over this because no one cares. There are buildings named after the president—everyone knows who this man is, so disclosing these little documents couldn’t have less significance to roughly half the country, especially Trump’s die-hard supporters. I didn’t see many liberals get excited about these records, at least regarding whether this could lead to criminal charges. Liberals thought they had Trump on Russian collusion, Ukrainian quid pro quo, January 6, and his tax returns—and ended up getting nothing out of it. Trump beat both impeachment attempts handily, he won’t be charged over a riot on Capitol Hill, and he’s running for president again. Even the FBI’s illegal raid on Mar-a-Lago revealed nothing concerning allegations that the former president mishandled classified information. The release of these documents was the most anti-climactic unveiling of all time. It certainly might be the limpest anti-Trump attack.
We’ve gone from ‘Trump is a sexual predator to he’s a Kremlin agent to he’s a tax cheat,’ and now—he’s not a good businessman.
Oh my—indict him now.
Still on Yihao website…. http://www.yihaometal.com/
It would be non-conforming. Already can't use titanium in the center of golf ball.
"Some Liquidmetal formulations supposedly scratch easily — I hear other formulations may solve this problem."
No, the surface finish of 105 had imperfections under close examination. 106 resolved it. Never easily scratched.
"Some Liquidmetal formulations fail suddenly and catastrophically — so they’re fine until suddenly without warning they’re not; I hear this is why it’s not ideal for wheel hubs, for example; certain formulations may address this, I’m not sure. "
No, this was true with the old formula used with golf clubs. Not an issue with new formulas.
"Some formulations may be tricky to get out of the mold; I heard this through Joshua who some years back posted that the curved edges of the iPhones of the time were too difficult to manufacture in Liquidmetal and that this was one reason the iPhone went back to straight sides. — I imagine that some engineering could address this issue, if it is in fact an issue, but I’m not sure. "
Drafts angles and pin extrusion marks have to be considered for any molded product. The product shape does need to be properly engineered which may give it some limitations. But overall part size is the biggest limitation at present. LQMT fiber strands weaved together (like graphite) will solve this issue and is already in the works
"All formulations of Liquidmetal are more expensive and more difficult to produce than traditional metals. The material cost is higher, the production methods are still being developed, and fewer people are knowledgeable in bmg production (including designers, engineers, ceos etc). "
No, the minimal process steps to mold a part make it cheaper than titanium and most aluminum alloys. The particular development of zirconium sponge greatly reduced cost to make it competitive with other high end materials.
Honestly the only thing keeping it back right now is having the large scale production infrastructure in place as Apple has historically made the Chinese companies invest in the infrastructure. And then Apple will just walk away from that company leaving the company with too much infrastructure and not enough product to keep afloat. So Chinese firms have been pushing back at Apple. So ultimately, LQMT is trying to build enough infrastructure in China to meet Apple demands.
Everyone expects Apple to use the material (if they do) on a smaller scale initially to allow ramping up of infrastructure. This watch would be the perfect starting point. We will see soon enough.
Not sure but this section is interesting:
2.12
SUPPLY
For avoidance of doubt, Liquidmetal is in the process of identifying a third party company for manufacturing in the United States as a “secondary source” to mitigate its business risk as well as to support customers and/or industries that may not desire or is precluded from doing business with companies in China due to trade or legal restrictions. It is understood by both Parties to this Agreement that Liquidmetal intends to utilize Yihao as its first and primary contract manufacturer and work with Yihao in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
So you are saying that this Apple leaker is doing this to manipulate the LQMT share price? That's about the stupidest thing I've heard yet.
So leaker Shrimproapple, who was the only one to get the prior Apple Watch design right, has now just posted a video of LQMT US with no commentary. https://t.co/P0NEO0LulF. It the recent "now you can" video of the company.
I don't think he can be any more direct than this about LQMT being used.
Cost plus model done through Yihao for initial production.
Then why has Apple continue to renew the Liquidmetal trademark and even add more products under the newer Trademark?
Nice try....
No, they changed the language from "no CE" to "limited CE". So some CE applications have already been approved by Apple.

Multiple media outlets now reporting Liquidmetal being used in the up coming Apple Watch 8 rugged edition. It seems to finally be confirmed. Took a long time to get here, but we have finally arrived!
Dongguan Yihao Metal Material Technology Co., Ltd. was established in November 2014 and is a subsidiary of the listed company Eontec (stock code 300328). With a registered capital of 92.25 million yuan, the company is a high-tech company specializing in technology development, promotion and industrial incubation in the field of new materials.
It is also the world's largest bulk amorphous producer and a national high-tech enterprise.
The company is headquartered in Fenggang Town, Dongguan City, mainly engaged in amorphous alloys and powder metallurgy parts.
At present, there are more than 600 employees, including more than 100 management and R&D personnel with college degree or above. Established Guangdong Amorphous Metal Engineering Research Center.
It is the main supplier of amorphous products for Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, VIVO, Tesla, APPLE and other enterprises.
This probably won’t be ready until 2023. I expect Yihao to be the initial small batch supplier for Apple in 2022. With expanding infrastructure in 2023 for increased capacity for Apple.
Compliments of Josh, he found a job posting for Yihao and in the company description it states Yihao to be a supplier of APPLE!

The march downward continues....
Heading for a recession....
Heading to $18. Watch out below!
That's because this company is pure crap! Dilution, dilution, dilution. This company and this stock isn't going anywhere!!!
DILUTION - $5.4BILLION IN DEBT - AND PRINTING SHARES LIKE TOILET PAPER.
THIS STOCK IS LIQUID HORSE SHIT!!!
Why are you posting a patent from 2018? This is for an Engel machine.
Musk made clear that he wanted less censorship and more openess. The Twitter Board responded with a poison pill which will lead to dilution. Proving that they care more about controlling speech then acting in the best fiduciary interest of shareholders. Twitter and other censorship sites will ultimately fail. And the TRUTH will prevail.
$1.25 Billion in PIPE proceeds. Nice!
There is supposed to be a conference call with this 10K. At least that is what TC stated. “I look forward to providing our investors with an update on the business during our 2021 year-end conference call to be scheduled in conjunction with the filing of our annual 10-K.”
Yet Putin himself still has a Twitter account.....
That would be $1.30 per share.
