Over and over again, the same thing.... the joint venture buys something that they probably don't need.

The end result? Management at the small bio gets cash to run the company with, but their shareholders give up a lot of the potential upside.

Each deal allows ELN to move in on a real chunk of future success, in the JV and/or the small partner.

This company has been known as an accounting puff since 1997. Given Enron, what are the chances that this was an orchestrated attack, that someone is working to take a large chunk of what Elan had built? If deep pharma pockets would move in on this now, before real damage sets in (motivation of the sales force, etc.), it would be very wise IMO. A route to also buying a piece of Biogen's future, for those who covet it?
