Excellent point loop. AND it can also make a lot of money for shareholders who keep their shares in the spun-off companies.

But, like any spin-ff, there are some that belly-up (not ll) Case in point when the Bell companies spun off various divisions, some of the spun-off companies went belly up after that.

I know this for a fact because my In-Laws had the major bell companies that spun off and some of the companies just didn't survive. Fortunately, there wasn't much of a loss as compared where At&t, Verison, and some of the others stand today.
