Has it really been a quite split to the general public, or are that many people just that unaware of where their money is? It has been fairly quiet, or perhaps 'protracted' would be a better term. Fifteen months is an eternity for most people in this market. And, information has been coming out in dribs and drabs. HWP wasn't a major part of my portfolio, but I was certainly aware the spin off was coming. Of course, the numbers were unusual. If the price of the stock is exactly half of what it was yesterday, then a 2:1 split is a reasonable assumption. 0.38 isn't quite as common a figure. From your perspective, how has the split been going? And what's your impression of the Agilent portion of the company? The services are showing it as quite a high multiple, when growth seems to be pretty similar to the old HWP. Any comments would be welcome.
