Yea, I saw that Ekh. I marked it to watch in my log. But, lots of these bid are coming in large. Quite a few at $600 or 1200.00. Makes me think those people did a little research. (50 shares for $600.00). I still say the majority of these pledges are real.
Start engine or Elio or one of the other promoters hit a mother load of big pockets.
That Motley Fool did it !!!

Hope you're right! Motley Fool was telling people not to be idots, so what do they do? You understand, I am all for Elio, and will probably chip in $600 (all I can afford), but not because I think it's a good investment ... I think it's a lousy investment, just a couple of steps up from a lottery card -- but because I believe in the company. There are some other things I can do, and I'm doing them, but investing my diminishing savings on a flyer like this one, especially when I'm down about 4% for the year when i need to be +8%, is not good business sense.

the other day I noted in this thread that I went to EM's site and there wasn't any Crowd Funding info .... I think I may have figured out what happened and need someone else to test my theory .... I called up EM's site from a different computer, one that had never been to that site .... I can't help but wonder if only folks who have singed in and formally expressed an interest are seeing the link on the computer they used ? .... if so, I can understand an upgrade but how would new folks signing up now get a link .???

Invest wisely?
Nope, "they" in this case was the bunch of investors LilyMay attributes to the Motley Fool article -- which is 100% warning about investing in speculative stocks IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE IT ALL.

Maybe all these folks are legit, and working within their means. Sure hope so. On the other hand, cold fusion is right around the corner ...

I was mostly joking, but there are plenty of people who have a few thousand to throw around at these sorts of things.

I do hope it's those people and not the ones who might be making an emotional investing decision and overestimating what they can afford to risk on a long shot like this.
