For those of you that invest in individual stocks, have you gone through a stock spin off with something you owned? If so, how long did it take to completely shake out? I have some of my fun money invested in Baxter (BAX). They just spun off part of their company into Baxalta (BXLT). From what I read, it was my understanding that BAX shareholders would get one share of BXLT for every share of BAX that they owned on 6/17. These shares would be issued on July 1. I bought BAX in 2 lots on 3/17/15 and 6/16/15. I was just checking my balances after the holiday weekend and noticed a $1700 loss in my tracking spreadsheet. So I logged into my account to see what was going on. I saw that the BAX price was lower accounting for the spinoff (which I expected) but I don't have any of the BXLT shares. I know there was a holiday weekend in there, but should it really take 6 days for the BXLT shares to show in my account? Do I need to contact my brokerage about this or just sit tight for a bit.
