Ron, think the books you are asking about are Spin off to pay off by Joseph Cornell and How to be a stock market genius even if you are not too smart(or something like that) by Joel Greenblat. The 2nd one is great, the 1st Im still reading... In addition to the previous post also spin offs are coming Campbell Soup Fairchild FA Finished NCR from IBM YUM from Pepsi These are the ones Im watching, however frankly while Im an active investor I've yet to buy into a Spin Off..

Ron, Marriot's preliminary prospectus has been filed for a special stockholder meeting in February, I think. It is a bear - sizewise - and being preliminary not complete. So I will wait till the final one before trying to get quantitative information. In the meantime, I'll get some of the background information that may be helpful in our analysis of the potential of both companies and stocks. I am also looking at the 3M spin-off IMN. It is at the bottom of its trading range and appears to be going through the throes of adjusting to a life of its own. If I find anything of potential value, I'll post it. Good investing. Terry PS Post #70 lists the books I referred to.
