wollman, GE has been an astonishingly good investment for me over the past 15 years: up over 160% including spin-offs, and I didn't buy most of those shares that long ago. Now to decide whether to get rid of the aerospace company ("rump $GE") which was never the part I really wanted to own anyway...
Still don't know if I've found the right way to represent spin-offs in #GnuCash since it doesn't have any built-in support for that kind of transaction. It appears I did $GEHC and $GEV two different ways.
