unless NNLX wants to roll over and play dead and get taken advantage by big boys, a good deal WILL take time, due to the nature of man.

JV's/ profit sharing agreements etc can easily go bad unless carefully thought out and structured w checks and balances

e.g. a typical jv agreement might take 18 months dd- here, due to the exigency of the ebola crisis, it would be fast tracked, but still takes time

i've spent many years in the past negotiating even simple deals just because 1 party was really difficult-wanted an unreasonable amount of the pie- and due to interference by outsiders who would want to nix the deal
