Indeed. That's what I'm getting out of this: it's MBAM, only worse. And is going to doom IBM if they don't smarten up. Article I tripped across, badly edited but trenchant: https://seekingalpha-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/seekingalpha.com/amp/article/4205420-sad-decline-international-business-machines I (like most on this list) have made my career around IBM. I've had my frustrations with it, but it's been Big Blue and a good thing for decades. Now it seems bent on self-destruction, and I'm watching its death-spiral and wishing I knew some way to stop it. I suppose Ginny & co. may feel the same way, but they sure don't *appear* to be worried: it feels like it's "full speed ahead, that can't possibly be an iceberg up there!" and that's both sad and scary. I'm not likely to give up on it - I have a proven track record of sticking with things long after it's sensible, I'm afraid - but I can't say I'm enjoying the current arc. .phsiii ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
