The company is selling valuable assets-never a good sign

MER sold a 20% stake in Bloomberg that it held since 1985 and a back office company.

When a company is selling assets as valuable as Bloomberg,it must be a sign of desperation.The damage done by Stan O Neal could be fatal to the company.With the markets cheering  the 4.9 billion dollar loss with sharp gains,I had to short.
