A troll is like a canaryin a mine - they are there to let us know when something is happening! It is a pleasure to see such attempts to cause discord in the HPQ ranks by the trolls, but their creativity seems to be lacking. Trying to play on people's worries about the potential share price drop from the spinout. They don't want people to stop and think about it, because if they did, people would realize that they are not losing money at all! It would simply be moved to another company in the form of new shares. Those shares could always be sold and the money used to buy more shares of HPQ. Even if the share price hits $0.20/share because of the spinoff, the price will surge shortly thereafter as people sell their new shares and push the funds back into HPQ. Plus the x-factor (for the math people out there) is the release of the validation results, either pre or post spinoff. If it happens pre spinoff, the share price would easily absorb the slight $0.03/share drop. If it happens post spinoff, it still doesn't matter because the share price of HPQ will surge. Take the trolls showing up as an excellent sign that things are about to become even better than they already are! In my opinion only. Thanks-Buda.
