Hi Bernie, and thanks: Well it kind of helps. My questions follow: 1) Do I sell the PALM outright when I get it to avoid the potential drop in price immediately after the distribution? 2) Or, do I add the shares of Palm directly to my already existing Palm and not adjust PALM's Portfolio Control? Which would no doubt trigger a sell of some amount. 3) Do I somehow adjust both COMS' and PALM's Portfolio Control? I agree with your assessment vis a vis being willing to sell to the greedy, etc. You'll get no argument from this quarter (seeing that my cash reserve is '0'). I'm just not sure how I decide within AIM's guidelines. I don't recall the book discussing how to deal with spin off distributions. Should I simply treat it like a split but somehow transfer the $ value to PALM? If anyone has any ideas, I'd sure appreciate it. Here are my factoids: COMS # shrs = 319; PC = 18974 PALM # shrs = 321; PC = 15795 add 160 shares of PALM to the mix after the distribution. Regards, Mixed up in Millsap
