A question all here should be asking ourselves:
When was the last time we LQMT shareholders heard from our chairman, Lugee Li?
If I am not mistaken it is when he was in San Francisco when he attended some trade show about 8 years ago and the whole " There's Lugee Li standing at a trade show table and OMG! Lookie, Lookie There's an Apple Pencil laying on the table!!! C'mon Fruit Company!!"
Not a fireside chat, not a newsletter, not visibly known to be on a conference call, not a whisper from the tenured university professor, nothing from the man who knows oh! so much about BMG science, nothing from the man who mentors young people.....zero LQMT communication!
What we have received is increased pandering and bootlicking from Tony Chung, like Lugee Li is the center of the universe as portrayed on every MAZE you have ever seen.
C'mon dude.... even your "reliable source" is quietly walking back claims of a hinge. Now his story is a hinge pin made of Liquidmetal and the gears made of titanium.
The hinge is a not very well thought out story supposedly involving a manufacturer whose contract with LQMT ends in January and basically begging the question What value does LQMT add to this story for them to get paid?
The mantra of every casino gambler who has ever lived..."I'd feel so good if I could just get back to even!"
No! every single post of @joshuaeyu et al. on this venue and others over the past 10 years is NOT well wishing, a suggestion, or hope. They are carefully crafted words and pictures that are made to deceive, that are made to con and trick, that are made to make you believe that you are looking at little known inside information.....in a single word....FRAUD.
This includes the MAZE, completely made up conversations with imaginary corporate public relations staff, fabricated AI assisted videos of hinges, fuzzy and distant photos of machines supposedly in Lockheed Martin manufacturing facilities. Or, yesterdays Reddit post referencing a far off published article about Apple creating a ring made of...of you guessed it....LQMT.
Accountability and words still matters in this world, even when you have lost all integrity.

If.......
We can't get a reply to what company these inquiries were made. To whom they were made to. Or, who responded.....then we can only deduce this is imaginary questions and responses published to fool you, to deceive, and have the intention to commit fraud.
The truth is these exact words were posted yesterday afternoon by @joshuaeyu on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/LQMT/comments/1sr8qgb/getting_there/ and they have just been copy and pasted by @Almosthere
We all would like this to be true but it is not. It is intentionally fabricated to deceive and make you think LQMT is "on the cusp".
The truth is the LQMT/Yihao contract for manufacturing ends on January 12, 2027. (reference available open request)
Ummm @Almosthere ....Who is Mr./Ms. Board Secretary????
And, exactly who is responding???
Finally, what opinion do you have of the chance that these conversations exist only in the mind of a "reliable source"?
You forgot to mention to @Almosthere that the LQMT/Yihao manufacturing agreement ends in January of 2027.
This whole LQMT/Amphenal/Eontech/Yihao 4 ring circus was created by joshuaeyu and PayMEmf as a story that combines past information and adds in tidbits of the new manufacturing relationship between Liquidmetal Hong Kong and Hangzhou Feifeng Liquidmetal Co. Ltd. (the “JV Company”). Yes this story is confusing and deceptive and no it is not as simple as one company orders parts, another puts things together, and then all four get paid.
Simply put by LQMT themselves: Yihao is out and Hangzhou is in. Tony Chung told us the new Hangzhou JV plant was supposed to be online the middle of '26 with 40 machines.
An atomic bomb is soon about to drop onto the heart of joshuaeyu and PayMEmf storytelling. IF......if you believe Eontech has all these connections and IF you believe that Yihao has some 120 machines in their 100,000+ sq ft facility......then after January 12, 2027 Eontech and Yihao can makes pieces and parts for whoever the hell they want to and LQMT won't be involved. Despite a lot of their knowledge and technology came from that briefcase that took the one way trip to China after Lugee Li bought LQMT. Future verifiable BMG parts being made and used in China and no $$$ for LQMT will expose these fraudsters and every story they have ever told-- MAZES, hinges, mid-frame boxes---on and on and on.

I just know this is is going to happen, one of these days Trump is going to go on some Fox show blathering on about some Buy American! bs and he is going to say words to the effect of...Buy a Curtis Mathis! Tump is a total old school Curtis Mathis guy and something so ridiculous is totally on brand for him.
That in and of itself will be a news story and be months of material for comedians. But the young people of our country will really throw on the brakes. Who or what a Curtis Mathis is will really blindside them and maybe even quiet them for a day on social media. That will be fun to watch.
But for myself, any mention of Curtis Mathis and I will know we have hit the point of no return.
No, our paths have not crossed in person; but I did offer to buy you lunch many years ago. That offer still stands.
While I have your attention, do we know anything about Amorphous Technologies International ( http://www.amorphtech.com ) ?
While their website sorta eludes to BMGs and visibly looks like it is LQMT, but their address being in Lake Forest, CA is like....WHOA, what 'da?
I'm thinking some ex-LQMT employees couldn't get hired by Amorphology and chose to strike out on their own?
Remember: what a LQMT shareholder thinks is a good job by management is not necessarily what Lugee Li thinks is a good job. Like I said before in a post a few days ago; LQMT is in the position it is in because this is how Lugee Li wants LQMT to be-- 100%. Lugee Li is very happy how our LQMT is working out so he is passing out rewards.
Please also note the not-so-subtle change. This past year Lugee Li is now raiding the LQMT piggybank and writing checks for undeserved salaries. For himself and for his management partners.
And then there are the 3 new hires. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say our new employees are in the picture below. I'll say they very likely report directly to Lugee Li. And....I'll say they work at Hangzhou or Yihao. If that is all true, what is the value received by LQMT? Just my opinion and worth LESS than the opinion of Researchfyi.

Some interesting 10K tidbits:
-- Lugee Li now draws a $152K salary.
--Tony Chung's job at the helm is approved of. He received a raise of $33K making his salary just over $300K a year.
-- The Executive Compensation Committee also thinks Issac Bresnick is doing a great job. His salary increased by $25,000 to $220, 000 a year
-- Zero was mentioned about the Ring. No sales data, no profit data, no word if it is an ongoing matter.
-- LQMT has 7 full time employees and 2 part time consultants here in the US. 3 full time employees are at manufacturing operations in China.
-- The new 5 year lease with Matterhackers increased their rent payment per month substantially and also increased the space they occupy. However, Matterhackers now pays nearly all the buildings operating expenses. LQMT retains about 900 sq ft, I'm guessing this is so that they can claim a corporate address.
--The Hangzhou Manufacturing Plant: I was wrong about this arrangement! Here are some details: There is a new company called Hangzhou Feifeng Liquidmetal incorporated in China. It is 70% owned by Liquidmetal Technology LTD (that murky Hong Kong Liquidmetal company) and 30% owned by a new player Ching Liu
--Compared to 2024, we had $76,000 less revenue and increased our operating expenses by $447,000. The total net loss increased by some $831,000.
LQMT received FDA approval when the CoNextions surgical stapler was our pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The FDA approval itself was played by LQMT management for years as an ongoing goal and a consistent talking point. With final FDA approval, this was to be a watershed moment and allow all kinds of medical related opportunities. FDA approval does in fact take considerable time. LQMT 106 did finally receive approval (related: previous to FDA approval there was the whole ISO certification; another years long endeavor that was eventually successful)
So, what ever happened to tendon repair? The whole project was a privately funded endeavor by a wealthy tendon repair surgeon in California who was making a better tool. That's to say the project did not have some big pharmaceutical or medical supply company behind it, despite LQMT attends a big California medical supply trade show yearly. If I am not mistaken the device ended up being made out of stainless. Probably like a lot of other LQMT pot of gold projects, stainless steel is just plain easier and cheaper.
Naive LQMT investors will tell you @Researchfyi that all you need to do is look at MAZE 3.0. Just look at the MAZE and admire all the opportunities and their simplicity. No need to "researchify" anything. (pun intended)
But to answer your question more directly, here's screen shot from the last time we publicly heard from TC. Keep the faith and BUY MORE SHARES!

I think you are using some big words to gloss over some indisputable facts:
--LQMT is in the position it is today because this is where Lugee Li wants it to be -- 100%. He doesn't want innovation, sales, manufacturing, profit, or any of the desires of a LQMT investor. He wants cloudiness and uncertainty. He has chosen for himself to be silent for the past 7 or 8 years -- on purpose. Nobody can say that Lugee Li behaves like a person who spent $63M of his own money on a business venture. Quite the contrary, he behaves like he did a job buying a business for someone else, using their money (Eontec). He is now slithering around trying to find a divorce through an unnoticed exit.
--Tony Chung is not some LQMT investor's hero of noble integrity. It's not like he works 12 hours a day, nose to the grindstone; trying to get LQMT listed on Nasdaq. No! He gets a $250K a year salary to make sure filings are signed on time. He makes sure Matterhackers and Valencia Circle are somewhat maintained. He gets the website kinda updated on years that end in an odd number. He makes sure LQMT has somewhat of a public viewed pulse with some new convoluted item of rumor and innuendo about quarterly or so. He arranges a LQMT presence at 2 or 3 trade shows a year (Not his presence! Some gigged industrial sales guy for hire's presence) But his biggest responsibility is making sure the sales of treasury stock gets deposited into LQMTs checking account because that is what LQMT is in the business of doing -- selling shares of stock.
I'm going to have a couple serious questions about LQMTs financial results Friday evening, I hope you chime in. I'd like to hear your opinion-- using words of 3 syllables or less.
Here's the questions I will have for you @tnyellowtomcat next Friday evening after the call:
Where's the revenue from the ring? It should have been more than an insignificant blip compared to '24 sales.
We were told that this Hangzhou plant was 70% ours, why aren't expenses really, really high? Like, bankrupting us high. Where are the salaries for those 6 whiz kids we hired? Where's the expense of 71,000 sq ft of new Liquidmorphium machines? This doesn't add up!
Reasonable expectations from the upcoming Conference Call:
Okay, this is the big one. Maybe you are on the fence with LQMT and don't know who to believe? Maybe you are not an annual report scholar? Maybe you don't care at all but just want to sell off big and move to a neighborhood of Bitcoin millionaires? Well, here are some reasonable expectations you'll want to hear.
--Revenue should be modestly up from 2024 due to the Ring. Even though the Ring was a sales disappointment, there were sales and there should be revenue that was not there in 2024. Not a sharp jump in $, but we should see some type of notable increase.
--Expenses year over year should be really high. If you want to move to that dreamy gated community you want outrageous expenses creating a substantial loss on the year. Outrageous expenses from all the new salaries that have been taken on. A sky high increase would show that the six guys in the below photograph are on the LQMT payroll-- not some other MAZE-like company payroll.
--During the follow-up Q&A, you should hear some hard hitting questions from random investors about hinges, robots, and Liquidmorphium.
Not unreasonable, right? I always say you can tell LQMTs future by looking at its past. Unfortunately LQMTs past tells you NONE of the above will happen (except you'll hear Liquidmorphium, but nothing you already didn't kinda know). And Lugeee Li......will NOT be on the call.

The author Vigoyan writes:
The creation of Liquidmorphium LLC signals that Liquidmetal is preparing for a major breakthrough. Companies don’t form dedicated IP subsidiaries unless they’re gearing up for significant commercial expansion. Centralizing patents, scaling manufacturing, and securing new partnerships all point to something big on the horizon. This move reflects confidence, momentum, and a bold next chapter.
Is the memory of LQMT investors that poor or is it that the fraudsters Joshuea et. al. have found a whole new generation of gullible investors? 'Cause those of us who have been around for a while certainly remember Crucible Intellectual Properties. And if you make a comparison between Crucible and this new Liquidmorphium outfit; Boy, Crucible and the and New! Improved! LM105 certainly checks all of Vigoyan's boxes. And; Crucible had a much, much better story. Crucible had verifiable LQMT employees. Crucible had a string for about 8 years of verifiable US filed patents. No way Liquidmorphium is ever going to come close to what Crucible was. Mark my words, the goings on of Liquidmorphium will NOT be verifiable or even searchable via the web. Sorry @PatentGuy1 !
The stories of LQMT and Materion Corp, or Engle, or Precision Cast Parts, or the half dozen mold making companies--- they all check Vigoyans boxes but not as definitive as the joint Apple/LQMT endeavor; Crucible Intellectual Properties.
These storyteller guys might be getting the reaction they want with robots, folding phones, and a MAZE that has more family members and fictional subplots than 60 years of General Hospital. But they are not fooling us.
My Current Get Rich Quick Schemes:
-- Trade with Congress. Boy, even following along but lagging behind will turn you way above average returns.
-- Covered call strategy ETFs ie: QDTE, XDTE, WPAY, or anything offered by Roundhill. I mean who doesn't like weekly dividends and a 40% return or better?
-- BRK/B God Bless Warren Buffett, you can't say a bad thing about him. But Greg Able? I think it goes like this. Yes there is substantial pressure to carry on, business as usual. But the problem is Berkshire has too much money. And in time he is going to in essence purpose to get out of treasuries and wildly go buy shit. Like; go buy lots of things, all kinds of shit. The market dominance and rate of return will be so high, none of the wealthy A class shareholders will disagree and he will be allowed to proceed. Value investing Buffett aficionados voices will be muted. So buy the affordable baby Berkies and get ready for the tidal wave.
-- Trade against BTC. Bitcoin has lost 50% of its value over the last 6 months and until something, somewhere can legitimize and give it tangible value-- the price will continue to slide.
-- Be on the lookout for Chinese securities. China is about to round a corner. First a manufacturer of cheap goods. Now a manufacturer of goods with integrity and at a cheap price. But here is the corner they are turning.... innovation. China is about to manufacture quality goods, at a cheap price, and have created the concepts. For example, what ever future phone China dreams up will surpass what ever the lethargic Apple can come up with. Innovation combined with the ramifications of what the current administrations has done to the USD and world wide sentiment? I think the world economy will be based on the Yuan in 5 years and how each of us have known the the US will be left in the dust and never catch back up. US domination is doomed; period.
--Should you own LQMT???? Yes! But only for fun. You've been on this train for too long to not find out the destination. You've spent too much time to just bail out now. Own some shares, but not many. Divesting a majority of your position at .11? Yes, I don't see the price going up and it won't be till mid summer/ fall to those who bought into whatever the Reliable Source has convinced them of and they begin to realize none of that is ever gonna happen. So, you got some time to sober up and liquidate.
Here's my LQMT crossroads for this weekend: How am I appropriately going acknowledge Lugee Li's LQMT 10 year anniversary? I mean, we no longer have HR so I guess it's up to us shareholders to do at least a little something.
Perhaps one of those nicer Hallmark cards, Silver and white frilly things on the cover. "Happy 10 Year Anniversary Luge, Thanks For Nutt'in' " written in the inside?
An AI generated card of a rusting Engle e-Motion 100 machine in the desert on the cover. 'Thanks for the electrical upgrade, declaring a dividend when???' on the inside.
One of those online flip book thingies with a timeline of images of every hinted or rumored LQMT product from the last 10 years would be something everyone could enjoy.
Perhaps a life size foamboard cut out of that lady of the old Wendy's commercial with a thought bubble "Where's the Beef??? Your buddy @Eagle1947" planted right there on the lawn of Valencia Circle.
Note: I've already eliminated organizing that LQMT shareholder conference in Las Vegas. You know the one, when every unicorn and rainbow shareholder drives their newest Lamborghini to Vegas and brags about what they have spent all their millions on. 'Caus well......
DISCLAIMER:
If there is ever production of pinion gears, tri-folding phones, robots, Samsung, Apple, Elon Musk.....any and all of the present or future gibberish. Just remember that it is really close to 10 years ago that Lugee Li took over LQMT. 10 years ago all R&D stopped and the division laid off. 10 years ago that the "briefcase full of patents, research, blue prints, and know how took that one way airplane trip to Hong Kong."
Don't blame me or anyone else on iHub when a far future Tony Chung is finally pressed by investors to explain "Well....the reason LQMT didn't get paid for all those widgets was because the technology evolved and was improved. The machines and the process changed. They used Liquidmorphium, not Liquidmetal." Or perhaps an even more realistic "it's hard as F to get money out of an overseas company for something that was a pinky promise 10 years ago." What a shocker that would be, huh?
Don't blame me, but you can blame these guys. (image: screenshot from TC's presentation last October)

Let me add to the list of TERRIBLE ideas...
New and improved machines and manufacturing processes stray from the contents of the that "briefcase of trademarks, patents, and years of research that took a one way airplane trip from Lake Forest, CA to Hong Kong." So much so that those allies who might score big manufacturing contracts don't see the obligation to give LQMT a piece of the pie.
Now confirmed sales of Tesla X door hinges somehow don't make it to books of LQMT and otherwise little was said of an apparent contract.
Publicly mentioning the pricing of your BMG hinge at $10 meanwhile apparently securing a big $$$ deal..
Conveniently not mentioning US BMG competitors during your tech talk. And, somehow the only other BMG competitors are two bit players in China.
I can go on, but it is good to see @tnyellowtomcat that you are beginning to see LQMT as the gimmick it is, not the pot of gold you'd like it to be.
Oh! boy how do so many people forget about the ultimate dog and pony show: Engle???
There are many parallels between the Engle years and what is going on today.
But for those keeping score at home, Engle and all they did for LQMT produced ZERO sales. If you have trouble remembering, here is a picture of the machine Engle paid for and showcased at that European end-all of end-alls manufacturing trade show: (I wish I'd kept the photos of all those sales reps Engle later sent to Rancho Santa Margarita for training)

Where's the Beef? is more attributable to @Eagle1947
But this is one thing we all agree on.
Thoughts on the new 8K compared to the agreement LQMT signed with Yihao 3 1/2 years ago?
3 years ago Yihao was using 90 machines and 200,000 sq ft of production area. AND they were a MAZE 3.0 company with a direct link to Lugee Li.
So me being on the Dark Side of LQMT I ask "What ever happened to Yihao? And, if I ever truly needed to start manufacturing millions of BMG parts in a hurry, why would I suddenly jump into bed with someone else?"
I have this vision that we are going to hear Trump say "You should buy a Curtis Mathis".
It would fit his character perfectly.
Boy, maybe they are using all that LQMT canard technology.
No wait! Canards were just another joshaeyu BS story, be it an early one.
'Ya know it's funny, of the online back and forth we've had here over the years; specifically the heavyweight battles that got vicious.
Gargol v. Watts
Bbboy v. Eagle1959
Almostthere v. Researchfyi
These online arguments were all over identical things and each had the same positions. "You have more than one identity....no, I don't" "Why are you always so negative.....I am not negative, I'm realistic" "I am tired of hearing your same old banter.....well, we are all frustrated and there is nothing else to say." And finally, "Talking about being tired, when are you going to provide proof of the imaginary product or conversation, or otherwise purported insider information you have posted here time and time again?........
LQMT....you can tell its future by looking at its past.
What about all those LQMT mid box frames that your friend the "reliable source" has told us about for years?????
You mean that is all BS?????
Knock me over with a feather. (sarcasm intended)
Just to keep things grounded and in perspective, the last time we LQMT shareholders heard from our chairman, Lugee Li..... it was about 4 years ago.
So, if anyone is thinking that Lugee Li has his own financial interest in the well being of LQMT, he sure as hell doesn't act like it.
I'd say he behaves like a person who doesn't care.
I think your Evie ring is on too tightly.
LMQT is running a successful viable business!
LMQT is a business that sells shares stock in itself. No actual products, no marketing, no research, no supply chain.....it just uses whispers of traditional business to sell more shares of stock. And then those whispers quietly linger into nothingness. But there will be a hint of some other promise on another front, perfectly plausible but scarce on hard details.
This is all in order to sell more shares of stock, even at .04.
We can all see where that truth has got you.
Please keep BS posts like this on Reddit and Discord where they welcome crap like this.
We here on this platform are not naive and know the current truth.
Here is some real history that supports KUO's leak:
I would still like to know what BMG brings to the table in making a hinge that other common materials can not do.
