Quote from Cutten:
EMC is cheap because of the embedded value. However, if you've seen this type of situation before (stodgy company owning a big chunk of a hot subsidiary), you'll know that the pricing inefficiency can last for a *long* time, sometimes several years, until there is some kind of corporate activity to sort out the value discrepancy.
In the meantime, the hot stock will provide the better % returns if it keeps going up. My solution is to own both.
