# Greenblatt Special Situations

Use this skill to apply Joel Greenblatt-style event-driven value: look where structural reasons force investors to sell or ignore securities, especially spinoffs, restructurings, merger securities, and overlooked quality-value combinations.

## When To Use

- Spinoff or post-spinoff analysis
- Restructuring, rights offering, merger security, or stub analysis
- Magic Formula quality/value screening
- Forced-selling event review

Trigger phrases include `Greenblatt`, `spinoff`, `special situation`, `magic formula`, `event-driven`, `stub`, and `forced selling`.

## Process
