@Researchfyi weekly posts are more effort and more diligence than LQMTs weekly effort to sell; well.....anything.
Overtime Researchfyi has painted a picture. A portrait of LQMT that is honest, truthful, and sober.
The outraged ones that want Researchfyi to stop, are only exposing themselves as having ulterior motives with this stock. Not that we all don't want to buy low/sell high, but when you are offended by 946 weekly words that are absolutely truthful, obviously the portrait of LQMT is getting in the way of your agenda and you'd prefer others not to view it.
Imagine a LQMT 10Q after an announcement of a contract with Movano.
For that matter, imagine the share price after an announcement like that. On top of revenue there would be proof that elements of the Maze were in fact, true.
But here we are……
I’m spot on when it comes to LQMT you never have been .
I disagree; I think you are way off base on the bullet points of your random streams of conscious you shout at us from time to time.
We all understand the frustration. And by all means LQMT deserves the outspoken fury. But @Researchfyi??? No, his words are truthful and sober. You may feel better about him if LQMT ever releases a press release announcing we are doing business with Movano; I’m sure he’ll have kind to say if that ever happens.
Know what Movanos FDA approval distinctly reminds me of???
That time when LQMT chased after ISO certification— and we all know how well that endeavor paid off and made it easier to sell our BMGs.
The first example I would volunteer is the Hong Kong Liquidmetal eyeglass frames that we never saw a dime from. And, what about those Asia-only Sony headphones? Another zilch for LQMT investors.
But let me approach your question a different way. Shortly after Eontec bought their way into LQMT there was a LQMT issued press release about the capabilities of our new partner, Yihao. Remember them telling us about all that production space? Remember how they told us all that space contained BMG machines, like: hundreds of machines in hundreds of thousands of square footage?
Was this Yihao press release bullshit or is that facility being used for say.....to use the words of @chipboarder....military stuff.
Hey @joshuaeyu good to see you are back ol' buddy!
Any idea when "The Maze" is going to add some value for LQMT shareholders???
It's been just about 8 years since you brought up "The Maze" concept and there are some iHop investors that are just now beginning to have concerns that "The Maze" has not added a single penny to LQMT share price--ever. Like: not a single cent of sales, not a single cent of residuals, and not a single cent of licensing fees since 2016.
Just looking for some reassurance........
Were there scratches on any of your rings?
I'm not sure you realize what you've just stepped in.
A listing of CIP patents will be be painfully obvious that Apple wants nothing to do with LQMT.
I know there are harebrained ideas there but the point is there has been no press release from LQMT for the Movano rings.
Your Spidey senses should be tingling because something is wrong.
Skeptical opinions why LQMT has not made a press release for the Evie Ring (pick only one):
--The deal really is not with LQMT, it's with Eontec or Yihao.
--LQMTs end of the deal is for licensing and the amount is low. So low that management feels the value of additional treasury shares that might be sold by keeping it sorta shadowy will be of greater income than an official press release detailing that the LQMT fee per ring is...I dunno...a buck.
--TC has taken some pointers from Otis Buchannon on how to be an invisible shareholder relations person.
--Lugee Li can not be found. Even just to DHL some SEC compliancy paperwork for him to sign.
--The contract is with Eontec and might not have all the details as if it were done in the USA. Liquidmetal is just a catchy word used for branding.
--Movano is a sketchy company to begin with and they have a whole bunch of complicating issues.
--There is great fear of reprisal by Apple if they get vocal about all of this.
--Even management is confused whether this is a medical instrument or an electronic device. Unclear how to dance around the obvious, it's just plain easier to not write a press release at all and go back to taking a nap.
So many good choices....
Yeah sure thing Researchify, next thing ya' know you'll be wanting LQMT to acknowledging what ever the Evie Ring deal is ( or...is not) with a press release.
Back in February we had a member of our group purportedly receive an Evie Ring, I'm still wondering about their impressions.

Please add me to your Ignore list if you haven’t already.
We all know what kind if drivel all my posts are.
Military?
Canards must be back in play!
Spoiler alert:
A funny part of LQMTs not so distant past is Yihao and their 200,000 sq ft production facility jammed full of BMG processing machines— all for cooperative use of LQMT orders!
Wait there’s more! All these machines have an incredible 16 cavity molds!
The future never looked so bright. We’ll refresh everyones memory in a future post.

Monthly shipments began in July and will result in regular supply into a targeted market, along with providing market participants with needed benchmarks on the advantages of our technology."
Martin Guitar Pins
Boy oh boy! Re-read that quote again from Bryce Van in 2020. Sounds wonderful doesn't it? Sounds like LQMT was finally take us to the Holy Land, no? And this was laid out in perfect LQMT fashion, Two sentences buried in a press release--just hidden enough to stroke the egos of LQMT investors like they have stumbled on something secret, something the mainstream investing community had not yet found out about....it would finally be their chance to cash-in.
As a product, I would classify the guitar pins as a success. In that, it was in-fact a product that actually made it to market. The price for 6 of them was about $300 retail. There are many, many other products that caught the imagination of investors but fell flat just turning out to be a rumor or an idea, only to be replaced with a different wild goose chase. Again, this quote from a LQMT press release was made just under 4 years ago--you'd think it'd stick out in everyones memory.
On the other hand, the guitar pins just turned out to be a gimmick that didn't work. It's fair to say the guitar playing community gave a thumbs down to BMG guitar pins and I'm sure it is not because of price, it's simply that they do not produce better sound. From a LQMT investor prospective, guitar pins were a failure. They did not produce the revenues we all hoped for. They did not inspire sales from other whales. And in no way did they add to the bottom line in any significant way. As a matter of fact their revenues went unnoticed.
The movie is Downfall.
There must have been some pirate software that allowed you to fill in your own subtitles to a key scene of the film. I had seen it done to a couple other things, but never as good as LQMT, it was absolutely perfect. The harshness of the German language, the anger and frustration of the scene, the worried and uncomfortable assembled generals—- just like an old and grey conspiracy believing LQMT shareholder completely losing his shit.
I stand corrected about a dental product, I apologize. Chalk up a “successful” product for LQMT.
Todays quiz answer is also a “successful” LQMT product.
Small edit. After Tesla hing but before Oppo/ iPhone crazyness….add LG phones!
Real beauties, the LG Wing and their intentional curved phone which the name escapes me. Most notably though the LG Wing, iHubbers were crazy with excitement for LG being another whale that was going to be a part of the LQMT customer base.
The LG rumors all came for that same familiar source.
LG ceased production of all cell phones in 2021.
No, not Zyris! I don’t believe that BMG dental parts ever became a product.
Over time rumored dental products have come and gone on no less than two separate occasions.
The most notable IMO was during the parody video of that overdubbed scene of a famous WWII movie when the main character at the end is angry, bitter, frustrated; and then finally realizing all hope is lost says “At least we’ll have dental”
This video has long been taken down from Vimeo and you have to speak about in code on this board otherwise the Mods go crazy.
But Watts, whats the chance you could repost your brilliant creation for old times sake? …In a cryptic post of course.
Incorrect answer—but close!
For those playing at home, the hinges/LQMT started about 2016 with hopes of being implemented in a Mac laptop. Then hinges in a Tesla were a long subject of speculation. Then the whole hing thing became epidemic when the creative video of the complex hing that could have been implemented into a iPhone or an Oppo device.
There is a common thread to any rumor of hing/LQMT and that is Joshua. You’ll find that it is he that has brought each and every suggestion forward.

"This has resulted in securing our first orders for recurring, volume, deliveries of functional parts utilizing our technology. Monthly shipments began in July and will result in regular supply into a targeted market, along with providing market participants with needed benchmarks on the advantages of our technology."
When was this said and what was it about?
Once again....you do not know the history of Watts and this board.
I wish you did.
I’d really like to know who the “turnkey production partner” is that Mastrototaro talked about.
in the midst of ......
Oh boy, using the BS words of our former CEO; you've really stepped in it now @taggingalong
Some basic things you don't understand is that everyone wants LQMT to succeed, even myself. What you are confusing for negativity is frustration and bitterness. And LQMT deserves all the cage rattling they receive. Rather than dismissing the words you don't like hearing from us old-timers you'll be better off reading them and evaluating if they pertain to you and your LQMT strategy. I'll tell you, we old-timers are not necessarily wrong. You can not wish LQMT into prosperity.
If the negative words hurt your feelings go over to Redditt or Stockwits where you can literally post anything as long as you are wearing your LM106 pom pons. They welcome naive, gullible investors with open arms.
I feel left out @Boilingman. ☹️
I have seen nothing but bad news for LQMT the past two weeks, if not the same ol', same ol' news.
I have no idea why all the optimism all of a sudden, it's not like you guys are brand new here.
”Surely somebody, somewhere, is making money from this cutting edge technology”
Metglas is the only company anywhere that is continually successful manufacturing and selling BMG.
@Reasearchfyi Does it weigh heavy on your mind that despite many, many years of LQMT experience and education that your opinion is.....well....I'm trying to use the nicest of words..... worth less than 5 frick'in cents?
Is salvage therapy an option?
What the hell is this?
It looks to me to be one of those video recording cameras your gastroenterologist makes you swallow.
Couple things:
I may be wrong but the 4,000 sold units was a figure that included Evie rings and that other Movano bracelet that has similar features. This sales number was revealed after the special holiday sale. No?
A recent search of YouTube and Vimeo still did not display any private individuals doing some type of review or box opening. Movano claims that some Evie Rings were shipped and will be replaced due to scratching. Ummm.... it's really hard to believe that there is absolutely no private review type content available.
And finally...... I have been a shareholder for I don't know how long but during the course of that time I have been told that LQMTs BMGs cast in place net shape, available in a million colors, they are super sturdy, ***scores super ubbie dubbie on the Mohs scale of hardness "stronger than titanium" "**, can bounce really high, requires substantially less finishing work when it comes out of the mold, ....blah, blah, blah.
Now I'm told that the Evie Ring is elastic and the god damn thing comes from the manufacturer with scratches. Now, I'm the guy who claims that LQMT and their BMGS are nothing but BS. That there is no such thing as a Maze. And that we have heard the last words from Lugee Li a couple years ago. Well I gotta tell ya, if I was anything other than the LQMT gadfly; as a shareholder I would be demanding Tony Chung, Lugee Li, and Vince Carumba to sit down before us and have a frank discussion about the Movano business and these "network partners" that apparently can't produce these oversized lock washers to all the wonderful standards I have been told about all these years. What gives fellas?
OK if I check for a pulse first?
Whoopi? Never put your trust in someone who doesn't have any eyebrows.
A question for all those who think that the Evie Ring will somehow squeak under the door and escape Apples' infinite loop:
For the sake of argument, let's say the Evie Ring is produced and sold. What part of the $300 per ring is going to end up in LQMTs coffers? 5 bucks??? Less???
The answer is we don't know. But I will caution all of you, the amount LQMT would receive will be dictated by Eontec. And it will be Eontec who decides when those funds are released to Liquidmetal.
So I caution all the well-wishers that A) these Evie Rings don't have a lot of margin and an eventual LQMT end is not a lot of money B) we operate at the will of Eontec and them releasing funds to LQMT for the production of Evie Rings will likely not be a check they want to cut. Any eventual check will not be prompt.
Other than that, Oprah Winfrey is retired and her famous TV show was discontinued 13 years ago.
Which one of these rings is a medical device and which one is an electronic product?
I keep confusing them.
In my opinion, this is another warning shot by Apple saying “Don’t take another step LQMT”
https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/02/20/after-years-of-research-an-apple-smart-ring-may-be-imminent
I’m sure the unicorn and rainbow crowd sees this as an opportunity of parlayed winnings. “Boy oh boy! We are gonna have Evie Rings and Apple Rings!”
Oh! Hello Watts. It's been a while....
Thoughts on our brand new, best friend Movano and their Evie ring?
Can we all agree that the ring is/was priced too cheap?
With Movano currently saying that the Evie Ring is now out of stock and preventing any new orders, you all might guess what skeptical me has to say about this new development.
You'd be right, I think that pesky Apple MTA has gotten in the way of this whole Movano/LQMT relationship. Thats why orders are not shipping. Thats why Movano is not even taking deposits for new orders--yeah, a business that is not accepting money. And apologies to @D-Mart I call bullshit on Movano saying that some Evie rings have shipped; I can't seem to find any unboxing videos online.
So yeah, I think it's the Apple MTA. 'Cause it sure as hell couldn't be our partners in that intricately constructed MAZE that can't seem to produce an order, could it?
