I received shares of MJN from someone in a spinoff, I can't recall who. Anyway, I decided to sell those shares immediately upon receipt. The price has done nothing except go up. I decided that perhaps, in the future, I'd give spinoffs a chance. So, I get FTR in a spinoff, add to it in order to make it a full position, and it does nothing but go down. Sometimes I can't win for losing. Ha!
