Technology Stocks : Qualcomm Incorporated (QCOM) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

just wait until the spinoff company is worth double what it would be today and get another IRS opinion when needed?

I guess I look at it a little differently. If the market is currently undervaluing Spinco vs. QClassic, I would look at it as an opportunity to concentrate some of my investment in SpinCo. It would all depend on the relative valuations of the two businesses. I vaguely remember Sulpizio saying that initial estimates of the value of Spinco were 45% of the company. If they did the deal at that estimate, I think would actually put more money into QClassic.

I am not sure if I am thinking this all the way through...but since it seems like Qualcomm is not going to receive any cash for the spin, I am not sure if the exact price of the spin-off is all that important.

What difference does it make if the shares are spun off to Q shareholders now or later? The shareholder determines when to sell relative to semi status, or anything else. Besides, the IRS letter is a bird in hand, and the resolution now would prevent some possible mischief down the road.
