There has been general slamming of this company and a cozy relationship BODs have on Thermo board and the babies' boards (i.e. they serve on many), with the insinuation that some have reaped significant $$ because of the spinoffs, etc, etc.
Anyone care to comment about this?
Just looking for someone's slant, not meant to slam. I've actually always been intrigued by TMO, its various businesses and spinoffs.
TIA, Wallace

On the other hand, the "spin-out" strategy of Thermo Election makes TMO look almost like a mutual fund. And therein lies the attraction.

A few other "almost a mutual fund" companies that I can think of are Hewlett-Packard and Chiron, the biotech company.

Any additions to this list?

Dipy.
