When a CEO hints about a very very big acquisition, how long does it normally take ?

Ryan Cohen hinted at this very very big acquisition back in January. From previous CEO’s hinting a move like this, how long does it normally take for it to come to fruition? Do you think we’ll get news on this in the next two months? Right before October? Or even more than a year from now? We’ve all been very patient with the price action- I just want to see us break out of this 21-25 dollar cellar box.
