what is a "rights spin off" in stock??
I was looking at my stocks today and on my brokers site under my recent transactions it said my stock symbol and this thing called a 1:1 rights spin off. What exactly does this mean? Thanks for your answers!

It gives you the first right to buy stock in any new offering, before others, so your shares arent diluted in a new offering. One share for each share you already own.

That sounds like there might have been a stock split, or some sort of merger or acquisition in the company you own shares of. You have the right to purchase more stock from them at a different price than normal. You should look into what the right is, if its 1:1 then it probably isn't a split, because that would say 2:1 or something else, so there may be a different class of stock being offered, that would give you more power at the shareholders meetings (if you even bother to attend those)
