Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

I don't care much about discounts. I'm more concerned with Lugee pushing all BMG revenues to LQMT. He's disincentivized if he has to use Engel machines when he may, technically, have his own IM/diecast machines with Eontec. (Why buy what you own?). And the terrioriality provision could, if tied in with the Engel exclusivity, limit that area, too, to LQMT.

The bottom line is that I think Joshuayeu may be right that Lugee may have found ways around all of this that would push all the territories to LQMT, enable the use of Eon's pre-exisiting formula, and allow LQMT to avoid having to use Engel machines. This is most important because it allows Lugee the best opportunity to raise the LQMT stock price for himself because of the consistent lock-ups on insiders in China and the limited trading opportunities on Eon stock. His best opportunity to make serious money on publicly traded stock is in the U.S., but he needed to eliminate those potential roadblocks to achieve the best opportunity for success.

All of this dovetails fairly nicely with Steipp out (whether voluntary or not), Lugee getting Board control for changes in Agreements, Materion has barely mentioned LQMT or BMG's, and Engel has been fairly quiet after a lot of enthusiasm for LQMT. In other words with waning of interest in those areas leaning towards LQMT finding other means to replace all of that, now that Lugee is in.

Not directed at you, but I find it interesting that anyone would just "want a pr" when we've had all those BS pr's from the past that went absolutely nowhere and just pissed people off.

The guy has been in control essentially only since Steipp left. Give him a few months and see where LQMT ends up. He's the first guy with major skin in the game and no provisions for adjustments of option or shares prices, like Visser - or any other financing deal, for that matter.
