fire sale Explanation: Right, fire sale involves selling (off) stuff cheaply, so both you and Agneta have the right idea -- but it is specifically used in finance situations like your context. "Their dramatic solution was to hold a fire sale on all their North American assets ... creating a new consortium where Stora Enso remained as part owner." So they're not 'selling to themselves,' rather they are selling part of what they own to bring in partners, while keeping a portion. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/firesale.asp |
