No Lou you full of crap as your just guessing, as a business may look like it doing fire sale business, but is fairly keep doors open. Hard Times in BellFlower was that, a big pile of S***, that people thought was a gold mine or print press making money.
How I know this was Ken T owner of Hard Time Bellflower was in Phoenix for Tournament, we started talking, I mention you own that Gold Mine Pool Room, and he told truth. BTW incase you forgot Hard Times So Cal is CLOSED.
How many thriving Pool Room have you been to with your account and looked at their Books & P & L? BET ZERO? You remind me of the guy who always wanted to own a _____, knew nothing about business, lost his fortune because of no plan, not experience, and no understand of business. Like the Bar Flys that show up every 0600 to Bar with Buddies, for Drinking.
One thing I am 110% sure of I would never want to own a business again, too much regulation, and BS, and chance today of making a killing are slim. Not a Pool Room, or anything else. Besides my day of 70-90 hours a week are done, that is what a business takes long hours, and hopefully you make enough to pay self.
