ABT - Haven't really looked at this spin. but if you are looking into anything specific, i can take a look for you.

I have been holding ABT for the div. and will hold it through the spin. I was curious if maybe selling ABT and replacing it with MRK might be a better bet. I couldn't make up my mind so now I am holding both ABT and MRK. Both have been performing well:

Any insights into spinoff?

I give you a lot of credit for having a one stock portfolio and having it hold up with such a good result. I don't hold a lot of stocks, but do not have the confidence to put all of my eggs in one basket.

One stock discussed on this thread, WAG...I was in short term and sold today on new acquisition news. WAG game plan is questionable. So I sold.
