Take Tysabari for example, co-owned with Elan. Also there areother tie ups with Genentech soon to be Roche/// Also, why is this company woth any more that its current market cap when more efffective or palatable MS treatments are on the horizon, Tysababri's patent expiration is an issue, it may cause PPL and get taken off the market again, and it has still not hit goals set by the comapnmny in terms of usage. Add ont this Obama's push toward "generic biologicals". So, why is BIIB even woth currentmarket cap???? Or is this Carl Icahn just trying to get his investment back by talking the stock up???
