Three days ago, latimerburned explained why the Shanda Interactive (Nasdaq: SNDA) spinoff looked too attractive to pass up:

[T]his is the higher margin part of [Shanda Interactive] with more growth. I still don't get why the spun it out, that wasn't their most brilliant idea yet. Still, this part is dirt cheap compared to the parent and eventually will get the premium valuation it deserves.

In a pitch from one day later, mrindependent expands on the stock as a fun way to profit. Here's an excerpt:

[B]oth of the spunoff companies, Shanda interactive ... and Shanda Games ... appear to have a bright future. If I had to pick one (which I do because I have only one slot left in my portfolio) I would choose Shanda Games ... because that is where the profits and revenue have traditionally been earned. ... Did I mention that this company is debt free with about $1 cash per share? Did I mention that return on invested capital is in the 100% plus range? Did I mention that the company is selling for approximately 9 times expected 2010 earnings? Did I mention that historical sales growth is stratospheric and longterm sales growth possibilities look bright?
