positive

IMHO anyone that goes through the process of due diligence has already considered the proposal put forward as positive , it is just a matter of agreeing to conditions and price.

I look at it like buying a car( on a much bigger scale of course - but principal is the same to a degree)

1 - you look at what is available
2 - decide on a vehicle
3 - set a budget
4 - find vehicle that you want but is a little over budget(haggle factor)
5 - get a road worthy (due diligence)
6 - make any offer
7 - haggle a little
8 - start looking for oil and putting into barrels........

DYOR this is pure hope and speculation...
