Many asking what happened?
It's not what happened, it's what hasn't happened yet. People need to remember that we are living in the most heavily regulated business environment the US has ever seen. The politics of how we got here and what are we going to do about it are irrelevant. We're here. These deals take a great deal of time. It's not a matter of simply signing a contract. I'm purchasing a waterfront home. I've probably spent 20 hours of my time dealing with flood insurance. It's a nightmare. That'a a residential home dealing with a flood insurance policy. How much bureaucracy must be involved in opening stores that involve food service, child care and children playing (insurance, safety protocol, etc...)
Couple that with a lot of excitement voiced here about impending deals surrounding TV exposure and a society with no tolerance for delayed gratification and you get someone selling 250,000 shares in the last minutes of trading to go look for the hottest bitcoin penny stock service or some other quick profit crap. Whatever. If you're here for a flip, maybe you're going to be frustrated watching this head lower. If you're here because your DD tells you the franchising/expansion deals are going to get done, you will look up one day and see your account heading north.
