While it isn't a great use of cash to have it all tied up like you do.

You have to also consider that you have alot of your own money tied into this "deal". so the longer you wait out, you may ending up losing even more money.

Don't tie up all your cash in your first deal.... it will really stunt your growth.

They're now in a much stronger position.

This way the bank gets a higher price than with a cash offer.It all comes down to the strategy of the bank and all of them are different.All you can do is ask the bank.They will very quickly tell you YES OR NO.If it's a maybe or a yes they will tell you under what conditions.I have found the bigger banks want to clean most toxic loans off the books.This makes potential stock purchasers feel better about how many bad loans are still lurking on the books.The goal of bigger banks is to show stronger books so that more stock is purchased in the company to increase the stock price.

The chemicals mix with the water in the Ocean to make Potassium Chloride or something similar(can't remember the scientist jargon they were saying).Anyway when the compounds hit the Ocean they cancel each other out and dispurse.Right now the levels are not ultra dangerous but they have abandoned one reactor because of the levels there.The radiation does pose a risk to the immediate area and surrounding areas depending on which way the wind blows and velocity.What helps is with Cherynoble containment was weak.Today buildings are built stronger making leaks and explosions not travel high into the air.It was the high air travel before that caused wide spread contamination by the winds.The design of todays buildings helps containment.Still dangerous but not approaching Cherynoble proportions.I will pray for them.

You need to get them under contract or, at the very least, tie them up with option.You should not be showing any buyers your inventory until it's truly in YOUR inventory.

My market is absolutely stronger now than one year ago.

I guess we just didn't have enough reserve to make that happen.We also made the decision at the beginning of the business not to take on debt capital so that constraint tied our hands a bit for expansion.

Adding new members and doing the same will make it even stronger.
