All I'm suggesting is that IMO all 3 won't settle on the same day.  The negotiations going on are about dollars.  Thus, I believe that there are three separate sets of negotiations going, independently, and any could settle/buy a license at any time.  Ultimately, I believe they will all settle, and by Dec 1.

Put another way, I doubt the Js are "holding hands" at this point - it's every man for himself.  I mean, really, why would any of the Js want to negotiate dollars with their direct competitor sitting in the room?  Why would our team want them all in the same room?

Am I still wrong?

If so, explain to me why it would be to anyone's advantage to have the entire "cast" in the same room.  They should be talking dollars at this point.  Perhaps future sales forecasts come into play.....you want your direct competitor listenning to that?

I suspect you mis-interpretted my post.  But maybe not?
