WOW, The second best fund raising day today ! (first was 9-3 when start engine sent out the 'shit or get off the pot' letter.) Just yesterday I remarked how slow it was going, lol. The LA show announcement must have alerted new blood but these came in with deep pockets. We still might beat the 9-3 money, but I am off to bed early tonight. Good Night everybody! Deb, Are you still going to that show? I sure hope so. It's going to be the bomb.

In the past, we'd have a good, then bad, then good then bad again. So I guess it's back to past behaviors. Only one thing has been predictible, it's unpredictiblity. The good followed by bad days may attually reflect those reversals of suspicious 'expressions'.

BTW, I just looked, no back tracking yet, maybe we won't see any after all? Tomorrow will tell...

Always thinking, you know, when the SEC approves EM's A+ program, a savvy business man can get a low interest loan against the money to be collected at this point. Those commitments over and above the goal, are probably good collateral. Then EM could start the E1-25 builds sooner than later. Even some of the prior investors might make a short term placement to get things going. Hey, could happen!

All-rightie then, I accommodated the adjustment this time by simply averaging today and yesterday together. It's the best you can do in this situation. (unless you want to document the backed out adjustment.) Here is the resulting chart.

Just a perception; If the red peaks are resulting from hacker attacks and then being backing out, it looks like a limited number of entities are attacking in 3-4 day cycles, or the cycles are how long analysts take to clean up after each event flood. (At which time they try again.)

I really like your chart Ari. Thanks. I am thinking now the hackers are under control. It is easy to get confused. I upped my pledge twice and I know the first time I didn't realize I was making a new pledge / not upping it. I might have caused what looked like a small correction myself. The big jump yesterday (15 people pledging $799,000., @$53,266 EACH !!, about noon might have been caused by the release of the LA Show announcement. Big Pockets get mail / notifications first. "Only (I can't believe I said that ) $180,400. correction on that". It looks like screw ups too me not trolls. Well, wishful thinking.

It looks like screw ups too me not trolls.

And that may well be the case sometimes, people adjusting up or down. Which leads me to a point that has been made before. Early 'expressions' were made when several things were less known. Like how popular Elio is at this point, and the success of the A+. Also the P5 and engine, other details about Elio are maybe a little more clear.
I can easily imagine people who 'expressed' may be more confident by the time money is being gathered. My guess, on the balance, EM can collect more than expected. All they have to do is remind people, they are allowed to put more in, up to X-amount, and more specifically what that money will be used for.
