possible?If RVX has a drug which could generate, say, 20 billions a year, why, oh why would/should they sell it for 2-3 billions???
Why not purchase a manufacturing plant and keep the benefits of their hard working years for themselves (including us, the shareholders)? This drug seems like something HUGE in a world of aging, overweight people. Think of it like spending lots of years planning and building a revenue-generating building and just after it's finally built, selling it for peanuts instead of finally getting into the easy-peasy positive cash flow phase (to finally give you the freedom to do...whatever you want!)
I say: keep the cash cow! :-)
