: : : Thanks for the tip on handling spin offs. How about something on acquisitions, for example the pending SBC/Ameritech deal where a shareholder of Ameritech receives 1.316 shares of SBC. The cost base and return for the Ameritech investor should end up being reflected in the SBC shareholdings.
: : : Thanks

: : In this case probably the best solution is to record a split of 1.316 for 1, and change the name/symbol of the investment. An investment note would also be a good idea...
