The spinoffs can be annoying. I held Kraft for two years and wasn't watching the headlines. I look at my portfolio a few months ago and I see this MDLZ in there. I sold both, and just snagged MDLZ again when I posted here.

Same for LMCA which spun off STRZA. The symbol changed for LMCA to LMCAD for a few weeks in early Jan 2013. I had trouble finding the posted symbols for a few days.

I'll dump LMCA and STRZA in April once I'm at the one year anniversary to snag the LT CG treatment. Easier to keep track of the basis by dumping them, since the basis for STRZA in this case is $0.

MDLZ taking a hit after the report last night- Looks like I may be adding under $27 as predicted ;-)
