you could have a good point. Just think about it.......
Say 24 companies are going to give in, they have said we give and are in talks about the exact amount of $$. TPL talks back and forth for months about an exact amount. First the talks can be spread out over months and then once an amount is settled on, then TPL can tell each company what in what month to have their money ready to deliver.
We would not have to be told until the deal is signed and/or the $$ delivered.
Company 10 have your money delievered in October and we will sign all the paperwork then.
Company 11 have your money delivered in the first week of December.
Company 12 By the first week in January.
Company 13 by the end of January before the SHM.....LOL
and so on.
You could be right on target.
I hope there is some truth to your thoughts.
