I wonder if LQMT USA(106c) is expecting and will demand cash upfront for production of Apple hinge to begin.

This could be the indication of "pay me" then we can run parts with license fee going forward. Almost a very similar deal as the original Apple MTA, except this time Apple has no way out on the long term back end, if 106c is unattainable under MTA.

This time its $30m please and 2% licensing fees on cost of parts(gross) in perpetuity, just like you did us last time Apple. Thank you and good night.

I would imagine with continued interest and talk about how cool the foldable phone market has become, Apple may actually be concerned about market share. Consumers are noticing the foldable phones. Once they like, know what they want to produce, they will start contracting, quick.

Thanks again Joshuaeyu. seems to make sense just following you posts something is right around the corner. I mean we have to have money to operate so the big contract must be and i mean and literally right around the corner.

Hi Josh. You are universally acknowledged as the most knowledgeable sino- source, from the time that Lugee Li became interested in LQMT. So I too always listen to what you have to say. Sometimes I do not understand the point you are making.

I spoke several languages, but only fluent in two or three. Fluency happens when you actually think in a language. If you think in your native language then translate it in you head and then speak, you are not really fluent. More importantly, when I think in a foreign language, my personality changes, and I am communicating like the listener, and that culture. For example, half the communication in Italian is body language (hard to email!).

I am pretty sure you are thinking in Chinese, and then putting into English. That is okay, you have important things to say. However English is a pretty simple direct forward language, and the folks that listen are not big on riddles. At least those in business to make money.

So, let me ask you a simple question about your post: Are you saying that LQMT LF shareholders are about to make big money from Apple, or for that matter anyone else, because of a bold move, putting all in?

Thanks for being the source of information that no-one else can match.

Hope so, but the 15 mill at 12/31/20 is in short-term debt inclusive of treasuries, corp bonds and cd's, which can mature in 3 months or less and be readily available if they need the cash. They can pivot pretty quickly. The decrease in cash is not a credible marker when those investments can be converted pretty quickly to cash.

And if they are not recording unrealized losses on a quarterly basis, they don't even think it's material enough to recognize the difference of short-term investments versus cash.

Investments in debt securities. The Company will invest excess funds to maximize investment yield, while maintaining liquidity and minimizing credit risk. Debt securities are carried at fair value and consist primarily of investments in obligations of the United States Treasury, various U.S. and foreign corporations, and certificates of deposits. The Company classifies its investments in debt securities as available-for-sale with all unrealized gains or losses included as part of other comprehensive income. The Company evaluates its debt securities with unrealized losses on a quarterly basis for potential other-than-temporary impairments in value. As a result of this assessment, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment losses considered to be credit related for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

When they announce a real contract or report it in a 10Q or 10K is when shareholders will know they succeeded. Moving short-term investments around is not an indicator. Now, if they are locking up money long-term (more than a year), that's - potentially - a different story.

I know, I know - boo, boo, boo - have to keep it real, though. The dental contract was a positive start.

I think option three - TRUFFLE ON TOP - looks like the most likely scenario Joshua.

Question to you is does this factor in any whale calls?
