I've been thinking about it this way ever since I read the recent letter -- Even IF VitaminFizz becomes a total disaster and is taken off the market (which I highly doubt will happen), MINE will still have revenue coming in from the Avanzar deal, in the millions. If Avanzar does expand as Vanis wants, this could mean even more contracts signed with current products (maybe even new products) and chains, and the company can keep right on growing and MINE could keep right on collecting money. MINE would really have to screw it up to be worth nothing. IMO, it was a good move for MINE to take control of Avanzar. Nothing but profits; hell they paid nowhere near how much they will bring in from the deal. Still surprised Avanzar agreed to it.
