Bonio, I wouldn't quibble about a few months difference over a two year forecast. I see I first bought in Sep '20, so I am down over 50% on that tranche, but I am not too worried. No plan survives first contact with the enemy. I'm curious to see how it all plays out. The potential upside remains enormous with modest risk.

Happy Easter all.

Looking forward to the full launch on Tuesday.

[bonio10000] 27/3/2024 15:28

Quite.

We are where we are and it is very disappointing and reflected in probably the placing recently and also the subsequent share price.

If I was part of the Dec 21 placing at 28p I would be apoplectic.

[twiglett] 27/3/2024 15:26

I think we must acknowledge Bonio is correct in fact.

At SE stated launch not before end of Q1 as paywall not ready till a specific date in March. 3 months ago on Proactive stated on time to launch.

This indicates to me a paid launch and money starting to come in. It didn’t happen so that’s why we are 5p

We are used to this after 15 plus years. I got some more at 5.52p BUT only because my strategy is the end game of buyout.

Sitting on a HUGE paper loss but my average ticks down slowly.

Let them tinker with it and I will wait to see what’s happening in the background. No launch and Nick’s theory still feasible.

BIRD hits 5 year break out pattern... Downwards as reported above. Even the recent subscribers are now making losses. Perhaps it would have been better to say nothing.

[bonio10000] 27/3/2024 15:23

I have no confidence the BOD could close that deal.

[nickb] 27/3/2024 15:19

My theory told you the paid product won’t be launched 😂

You never know

[bonio10000] 27/3/2024 15:11

John - the new plan emerged about a month ago.

When they raised in Dec 21 and then stated end of 2023 or Q1 2024 - nobody thought we would be here.

That is revisionist.

We are where we are - but it was not what was sold.

The special event also strikes me as a load of old twaddle as well. It might be 12 months after it before a paid version is ready.

[bonio10000] 27/3/2024 15:09

It's not my fault I have been correct for several years.

I can't be blamed for genius.

I even called that I had no confidence that the product would launch in Q1.

And to be fair - it is well off a proper launch hidden behind generic word salad announcements.

I was also right on gold - lol.

I might hold off and wait for 4p.

If the free version also has the plug in architecture then you do realise we can make money on the free version

eg
elevate Essentials Xtra plug-in pack

$10 for 12 months license

Available to millions

[nickb] 27/3/2024 15:05

Bonio

I blame you and Clocktower for spooking long term investors here😂 but that seems to be very easy it appears.

[johnveals] 27/3/2024 15:05

There is no delay in meaningful revenue, it is all part of the stated plan.

Share price =/= the Business

[nickb] 27/3/2024 15:03

Well said Salmon

[bonio10000] 27/3/2024 15:02

Crikey - share price taking a hit today.

I would imagine the delay in any meaningful revenues is behind that.

There is no immediate catalyst to get share value moving.

Shocking.

[johnveals] 27/3/2024 15:01

cyberbub, have you been able to work around it as per my earlier post?

Add the media to the timeline, remove it, add it a second time and it then all seems to work as expected.

[cyberbub] 27/3/2024 14:56

Johnveals thanks for the update on the company tackling the missing media/export bug.

Kcowe, yes it has been under test for 6 months, obviously exporting must have been working, but if you know anything about software development you'll know that fixing one bug can cause separate knock-on bugs... Probably they fixed something in the last 2 days and it's caused the missing media error. Luckily it seems they've tracked it down and I suspect it won't take long to fix... They need it fixed soon though, an editor isn't much use if you can't export your final product...

It seems to me, taking a step back from the detail, that in general terms, much of the frustration being expressed is due to various forms of misunderstanding.

In large part, this is because we only have a limited amount of information to go on, and so we are not in possession of a complete understanding of all of the facts and limiting factors which are determining the ways in which the the management are progressing the development and launch of elevate.io
They can't share all the detail with us because they believe it is best, to a considerable degree, to keep their cards close to their chest.

We know Summit is, as SS put it "the right man at the right time". The key leaders in our team are very intelligent and experienced in what they are doing.

Hopefully we will better understand their development and action plans, mainly in the rear view mirror, as they are rolled out.
I think we can be sure that they are doing what they are doing because they believe that it is the best way to achieve their (and our) objectives given the constraints they are working under in terms of financial resources, manpower, technical issues, developing relationships with plug in providers etc.

In this situation it seems best to be patient and enable them to feel our support.

[johnveals] 27/3/2024 14:52

Yes, the plan makes sense.

[nickb] 27/3/2024 14:49

John

It’s great they are looking into it
That’s just the feedback they need before a bigger crowd arrive.

[johnveals] 27/3/2024 14:47

If you have to ask you have just confirmed it. Don't bother to reply again, this is my last communication with you.

[kcowe] 27/3/2024 14:42

What is stupid in asking that ... simple things

[nickb] 27/3/2024 14:42

You can even buy a T shirt for Avid missing media!

[johnveals] 27/3/2024 14:38

kcowe Don't be stupid.
