EXCERPT:
PAYNE: “It’s not helping because I think what you need here is, if you’re going to start to really have these conversations, give us some real listed markers. Over the weekend, Apollo published a piece that said the average trade deal takes 18 months to put together and 45 months to implement. Obviously, no one wants or hopes that this is going to be the case this time around. But if you come up every other day, ‘Yeah, we just had a great call with so and so, and these guys,’ it starts to take away credibility. It starts to smack of desperation, and we just don’t necessarily need it.”
