A spin-off of the consumer division?? That's hard to say. Both sides of their business are doing good. Creatacard is a great brand that can expand into many products. Also their Draw line does very well Internationally...and the new version coming out is rumored to be awesome.

I think they need to expand both sides of their business and do it profitably. Do not force a spin-off...but if the product lines grow and gain market share, someone will come in and look at acquiring that part of the business (Not many companies do both corporate and consumer).

I do not mind that they are in two types of business. They both involve graphics solutions that have much overlap in the organization (development, QA, ...). If managed correctly, this becomes an asset growing the company faster and making them less vulnerable to specific market conditions (related to product lines) and competition.

As an investor, I just want the best value for the company....And I am not sure spinning off a division would do this.
