LouisG : Your valuation and that of the street as expressed by the current price are quite different. The 20% Palm unit spin off will not do much for COMS shareholders if prices remain at these levels. A part spin off is usually done at the high to increase one Cash position for further acquisitions. A good example of this is Toronto Dominion Bank and its 20% spin off of T.D Waterhouse. If you study the price movement of these 2 Companies, you will appreciate that the rise in T.D was made just at the time of the announcement and infact fell thereafter. Whilst no 2 Scenarios are identical, I feel that we, as COMS shareholders, can only benefit if COMS price starts moving higher prior to the IPO. Shall look forward to yours/TIM's or anyone else's comments.
