Visible to anyone in the world
What is a spin-off — and how to use it to spot a catalyst. A spin-off is when a company separates a division or subsidiary to create a new independent company. Existing shareholders get shares in the new company. Spin-offs often unlock hidden value. The market can revalue both the parent and the new company. Watch for spin-off announcements — they can create trading opportunities. This is what we teach in Module 5.2 — How to Find the Catalyst in Trading. https://youtu.be/uxNnlqrNw5s
