But I am saying if you told me that you wanted to buy Caterpillar stock today at these valuations, I wouldn't think that you were crazy. voice-verified

I think there is some justification to what's happening. voice-verified

Breakups, buyouts, and selling stocks, all this and more on today's Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing. voice-verified

Welcome to Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing. voice-verified

I'm Jon Quast, and I'm joined today by Foolish contributors Matt Frankel and Rachel Warren. voice-verified

Today, we're talking about a shakeup in outer space, as well as taking a listener question about selling stocks. voice-verified

But first, we got to talk about Comcast because it's breaking up. voice-verified

Now, in January, it already spun off its TV channels and some internet properties, CNBC, Golf, Rotten Tomatoes. voice-verified

It spun those off into Versant Media Group, ticker symbol VSNT. voice-verified

But now Comcast is coming back here for round two, announcing it will spin off NBC Universal, which contains a lot more than just, you know, the channel NBC. voice-verified

Now, as I zoom out here, Comcast stock down about 30% over the past year prior to this announcement. voice-verified

And one announcement here, sending the stock up 20% pre-market, up about 10% now. voice-verified

So the market is giving it roughly $10 to $15 billion more in market cap just for announcing this move. voice-verified

And that is an absolutely massive swing. voice-verified

Were investors really punishing this stock so much because it was a conglomerate? voice-verified

Matt, I want to circle back to you here because it does sound like you're saying that a bigger player might want to acquire NBCUniversal once it is spun out. voice-verified

And you mentioned Amazon and Apple specifically. voice-verified

Are you being serious here or are you just daydreaming? voice-verified

So Matt's kind of giving us a bull case here, wherein NBC Universal is worth more on the public auction block than it was inside of Comcast. voice-verified

But let's say that Amazon never does make a bid. voice-verified
