The job's not accepted until you sign the contract. I haven't signed anything yet. We're going down there to meet with them and take a look at Chapel Hill.

The implication that Comcast did not 'chase' the contract can be taken as a sign of fiscal restraint.

If an investor signed a contract and flipped it three months later, the IRS would say it was not held for a reasonable time, therefore he didn't intend to be an investor. The IRS has taken the position that two years is necessary to show reasonable time, but there are a number of cases where they have taken that position and lost. My own position is that a year and a day is all that is necessary.
