What’s hilarious is if you google disgruntled IBM employees, there’s a whole group of ex IBMers who routinely bash IBM because IBM laid them off or cut their benefits. Switching from pensions to 401k was a big cry for many who worked there. My bet is many here are in that group. IT workers shoul

LOLOLOLOL, you insulted me. And my logic and facts are spot on. You didn’t even know what IBM’s ROE was. I suspect you don’t even understand ROE. Because you only mentioned the stock price. Do you know the difference between growth & value stocks? You routinely claim things I never said. I’ve go

Bill, what's your goal in arguing about IBM? To convince people of anything or just to rant? Reflexively denying things -- mostly without credible facts or logical substance -- and insulting people with whom you disagree, isn't effective debating. You just look silly, alienate people, and certai

FWIW I thought IBM had acquired BMC and its FileAid etc. But I seem to be mistaken.    On the other hand, has or not IBM acquired Candle and its Omegamon? (I worked with IBM and Candle in the early 90's.) TIA.     On 04/06/2022 03:14, Bill Johnson wrote: > That’s exactly what I’m saying. Until the

I love when people on this list think they’re know it alls and post something so stupid it’s comical. I don’t know how you came up with such asinine bullshit, but it’s impressive.***IBM’s ROE over the years has actually been decent. 25% trailing 12 months. I suspect ROE is above most of

I don't have a dog in this ridiculous fight -- though I've also lived a career based on IBM mainframes, including working for IBM. I long ago sold my shares because the company was sadly heading downhill. But I'll chime in anyway. I was apparently correct because IBM shares are now at about the
