I heard that too. Just one more reason I ended up removing it from my current watch list. I can’t sleep comfortably, knowing I own it. So if that’s the case, I won’t be buying, you know?

Just to play devil’s advocate – one might say that IBM issues debt to repurchase shares.
That is NOT sustainable…..

Good points, Nick. It’s definitely true they’re struggling with innovation at this point. Looks like a good value, but again, that may be for a reason here. I don’t really know of any game changers at this point, or even of anything that would cause me to raise an eyebrow as a techie. That is kind of concerning, but they are restructuring and changing focus. I tend to be bullish, but IBM is far from the only good value out there, so who knows?

Great article DD. I am strongly considering IBM right now but I need to see what other opportunities are available. One thing that concerns me about IBM is what have they innovated lately? The things you mentioned that IBM invented, while huge, are 40+ years old (ATM (’70’s), magnetic stripe card (late ’60’s), the floppy disk (early ’70’s), the hard disk drive (’60’s), and relational databases (’70’s)). I know they are heavily involved with cloud computing and providing computing solutions for business, but as I consumer those things are a black box. So in I sense I don’t see what IBM does and its hard for me judge how the fit into the competitive landscape.
