Completely agree. I may have left a few days for contingencies but if the GC were to tell me everything should be complete in 7 days I'm immediately on the phone with HC to find out the current turn times and if they are 10 to 14 days out I would get on the calendar at that point so that inspection takes place a few days after completion. Not only is time equal to money but with uplisting seeming to be such a priority I'm sure there is urgency to meet the share price requirements as soon as possible.
And as for the comment about HC expediting things on their end - who else are they inspecting over the next two weeks anyway. I know it is a govt entity but why not expedite things.
All this goes back to why I have always bought so quickly after coming up with new funds - you never know when something is going to happen - news on the inspection date could hit quicker than expected. Maybe it won't - but I have never wanted to take a chance.
