Why is BMY selling?

They don't like small, loose ends?

They paid $XX/share, and the net loss tax benefits outweigh two years of potential return, even at (an example of) 80%/year?

They hate the letter "K" in the ticker?

>> How long can they go on as a shell? <<

Lots of cash and a future brightened by potential success at OSIP, Solvay or Axiom??....... a long, long time.

Doesn't make sense to go that route, however.
