I think all the tracking stocks (past and future) in telecom services are just creative accounting. What do you get when you cut a shrinking pie into pieces? Shrinking pieces. Obviously, the market agrees, because they (telco trackers) have uniformly done poorly. I agree fully so why is Bernie doing it? There must be a way to sell LD to a Baby Bell for instance or the "Europeans". Even if you gave it away it would probably be favorable to the stock. Give it away and get business back for the other units in return. Just thinking outloud.
