Motorola Solutions, Inc. (MSI)

[longrun]

MY OPINION only. Yes there is serious hidden value to buy before the split. The real question is after your free shares do you stay with both? or just keep one stock? My feelings are that the possibility of the new stock just starting out and going long will generate excellent growth so much that it will more than offset a slower if not diminishing increase in the solutions. But over all an increase in value for both through Q4 of next year. Now as to an advantage of selling one for more of another, this could create some volatility in both stocks in the 1st Q as investors make moves for position.
On the other hand wait and invest after, there will be plenty of time to purchase after the dust settles less risk put possibly less gain.
