| schestowitz[TR2] | Whoever is looking into this ought to also look at other visa categories (e.g. L1) where even more expats are brought in. Difference is that H1B (as someone else stated) is for "specialty occupation" workers requiring a degree and subject to an annual cap, while an L1 is for intra-company transfers within a multinational company, with no cap and faster green card processing (more details here: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/fi | Jan 03 05:17 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | I dumped all of mine in 2013 at around us$192, which is (adjusted for inflation) still more than the stock is worth today. I sold it then because GR was doubling down on shortsighted policies, morale was in the toilet, and all of Research was leaving for greener pastures which meant nothing meaningful in the future pipeline ... and you can see the results of that today. | Jan 03 17:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Since then, I've been doing the transfer-and-sell more or less as described below. | Jan 03 17:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | If I ever feel that IBM has a future then maybe I would hold onto the stock, but it is even worse now than 12 years ago, so that will probably never happen. | Jan 03 17:23 |
