Ummm... I have more flexibility.  Because I have 2 dollars.  You meanwhile owe someone 13 dollars, and eventurally they're going to want it back.  

There are circumstances where it is worth taking a short term hit in profit for the sake of revenue, and debt is not always the worst thing in the world, but losing money does not make you more flexible or healthy as a company.

as a cooperation you can sell these loses to others

Not since 1984.  In the US at least.   You can still sell stock as a way of loss selling, but that's never going to offset your actually losses.  Any way you try to spin it losing money over an extended period of time is a bad thing.  It's not like loss selling is helping Sony anyway as a quick look at their debt will tell you.  Of course bringing up selling losses is a way for you to complicate things.  Don't bring up a simplistic example, then make it more complicated later.  It's a dishonest bit of rhetorical trickery.

no you dont understand they can sell their devisions that make loses
