Elio Crowdfunding

I logged in just before leaving the farm to a concert (don't ask) at 4:39 PM. Between then and Ari post at @6:19 PM it jumped an even $304,000 with 15 pledges with an average of $20,266.67 between them. I don't bloody think so. But, then again I don't care, it's all going to look good on the paper work, lol. That 135% looks good too.

Yep, tomorrow, we'll not be surprised if up to 1m gets ripped right back out. But again, does it matter? When they call for the money, it's all good if they just get what they ask for.

You know if I was trying to minimize SE payments, I'd consume the biggest reservation amounts first. Makes ya wonder what the small print looks like on the SE/EM contracts.

You know after I read the SEC filing I understand that SE & Elio can't 'cold call' for stock sales. They are only allowed to contact people who have contacted them first ie the list of folks on this water test gig and their friends. But, of course they have all their friends all neatly listed on this list ... with a few trolls. Pretty neat. Busy, Can't site page number I got this from but I will later if you need it.

Until those who pledged a specific amount of money hand over that money this process is make believe. I wouldn't be surprised if the fall out is not 30-50%. Talk is cheap. Right now with the numbers, Elio can withstand a 30% loss in pledges and still reach their $25 million mark. I'd like to see about $50 million in pledges.

Fake investments may look good for the paperwork, but fake numbers always wind up biting you in the butt. Looks to me like the Troll Police need to stiffen up a bit.

Until the "I'm interested in investing" money is in EM's bank account, it's all wishful thinking and fantasy. Even if this small-investor drive delivers $30M to EM, EM would still be $100M+ short and still dead in the water.

Up another 100k since 6 hours ago. If people perceive the program could go to 50m, and only those on the list will get access, it is possible a large portion of this is viable. After all getting their foot in the door has zero risks, since they can bow out at the critical moment if the investment doesn't stand up at that moment. Also, with the stock market twists and turns, speculative players like to have options at any interesting points. Seeing the final amount hit 50m in 30days is not impossible in these conditions. I too would have doubts on 'expressions' for about 30% of what is above 30m, and 15% of what is below. But the remainder maybe of a mind to cover what others will not.


If I were EM, I'd get the P5 done nicely but very soon, and do everything else possible to present it as a good investment, and then extend past $25m if it is possible. It might even be a good idea to start the E1-E25 in some minimal way, before they try and collect A+ money. A nice PR surprise would go a long-long way right now. But I know EM takes a super measured, methodical, preplanned route towards their goals.

I am not like that. Example of my method; I re-planed my full BS degree(no b.s. please!), every quarter while I was in school. It took me 3 years to complete what took the average tech student 5 years to finish. And I took advantage of every nook-cranny-and-tabletop I could figure out. Skip to a 301 level course and accept the same grade for the 101 plus 201 level courses? (sometimes you get the grade but not the credit hours, I had plenty of spare) That was gold to me! Yep, I had to plan the credit hours, track requirements, and grades separately.

When courses are over-booked opportunities abound! A few times, they offered the final test on the first day, if you get A or B, just take that for the course grade and you are done(and pay for the credits). No risk for taking the test! So I over-booked my load, just in case, and dropped what I needed to before the cut-off dates.

Interesting!, yep we thought some large amount might get ripped out, as soon it was analyzed.
