The easiest way to look at things is to say...'well, a deal hasn't happened so that must mean the interest isn't there'.  

But we don't know what's being discussed, with whom or for what kind of dollars.  I recall an article from a couple years ago from Bloomberg with DM reportedly saying something like:  "We're not going to give it away", or something to that effect.  

Assuming Don is being genunie and that there is interest....it could very well be that the dollars aren't there.  What is DM's number?  I would imagine he has several different numbers....one for just apabetalone, another for Resverlogix in its entirity and yet another for RVX an Zenith....Its a spider web of possibilities, buyouts...licensing agreements, CVRs....
