Any associates in SMT hearing any credible info about us acquiring the MetLife site in Warwick near East Greenwich? Is that seriously happening? And which groups?
My team is barely hanging on to make it through bonus and then profit sharing.

@z8 Highly doubtful an announcement comes this week. This may be the stooge who couldn't understand the timing of an important announcement after a midterm election cycle. Time will tell.
@z8 Source?
announcement coming this week.
@k5 idk who my dad is
no explanation necessary, just doesn't hold much water to make an announcement whether elections are around the corner or not. It's not like we would think "hey we just bought a site in Warwick, RI, I'm so confused, now I don't know who to vote for in the election".
@hh Then ask your mother or your father to explain it to you in far simpler terms.
okay, doesn't make much sense, but okay.
@d0 It's not a political thing. It's not about the midterms themselves. It's about the timing of them. Corporations seldom make a major announcement while everybody is focused on the elections.
They would simply let the midterms play out. After 48 hours, a lot of that has died down and then it becomes a better time to make an announcement.
The key would then be to make an announcement before the holiday slowdown. The sweet spot for an announcement would be between November 5 and November 20 (inclusive).
I predict something will be socialized during that timeframe.
why do the midterm elections factor into this...I don't get it. Why is everything turned political.
That doesn't mean a thing. There are likely NDAs in place until the ink is dry on all the contracts, which may already be the case but the prevailing thought is they will wait on an announcement until after the midterms but before Thanksgiving week.
Something is afoot. If true, people will find out soon enough.
Not that it means much but the space is still showing available for renting online, no clue what is going on
