regarding Spinoffs- Me neither, especially considering the investment in time. traditionally, spinoffs have been good as group, as was popularized by Greenblatt, but I think Mr Market and management has caught up with the times. I think in particular management uses spinoffs as dumping ground to get rid of business that they can't fix in addition to a chunk of debt. the combination of debt and lousy business often tends to be toxic.

That said, there are occasional gems coming around like JXN (which I sold, but made money on quickly). It's worth checking out spinoffs, but 80% are probably fools gold.
