Put A Fork In It. Elio Is Most Likely Toast.

[Doug McDow]

My sentiments exactly!

Still... I need to know. Who is putting a fork in toast???

Until you are able to go behind the doors and into Elio Motors all everyone is doing is guessing and speculating.

Elio is a public company. It has both a great feel good story about it, and many serious challenging questions. When there is limited information about a public company, humans speculate. If they didn't, forums like this would not exist.

Hey, Slinches! Are you going to take that lying down?

He's a slug, aren't they always lying down?

 

[slinches]

Yes. I'm also always standing on one foot.

Coss is right that we're all outside looking in, just guessing and speculating....but time is not on EM's side, at least I can say that much that eventually PE has to GIVE UP, or GIVE IN. It's a mathematical certainty, no money, running on the red, eventually somebody has to put a stop to it. And so what if PE is giving up some if not MOST control of the company, the ELIO badge will most likely stay, his legacy in tact that his dream will be REALIZED and that's really something than go bust. 50% control means PE is still on the board and have a say on anything the other 50% might suggest. JMHO.

And Trump will never win the Republican nomination..........
And Trump will never win the Electoral College.....
And PE will give up his life long dream????
Somehow I don't think I'll go with your conventional wisdom!
Note: This was not a political statement.

I think I figured out why I tire of the naysayers; I'm not that negative of a person. It just sounds to me that the naysayers are trying to convince people to be naysayers too; "we don't believe it going to happen, so you should too"

Guess what, I'm not changing my mind until I see it happening. I went in believing it will happen, and the only thing that will change that belief is seeing it close and an announcement that the game is over.

So stop trying to get me to change my mind, that is not going to happen.


I fell a lot better now, I just had to get that off my chest.

I still believe in "Don't tell me, Show me".
If it happens, it happens, if not...go on with life.

I don't think you can paint with such a broad brush when discussing "naysayers." For instance, I would consider myself a hopeful skeptic. I think it's good to have people that provide a bit of balance with regard to the hope, or optimism.

Certainly there are people that take it to extremes on both sides, but a certain amount of skepticism is healthy.
