| schestowitz[TR2] | @fq They do, but they have much stronger employment laws so its harder to fire or layoff people than it is in the US. Thats not to say that they can't layoff people, but its harder to do, takes longer, and they have to pay out more when doing it | Jul 17 10:58 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @cq Really hoping that some day boards of directors will defer bonuses to executives based on stock and financial performance. Payout should be staged in small increments at first and larger increments not given until performance meets healthy sales and profitability. Do companies outside the US do this? | Jul 17 10:58 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Dropping like a rock again this morning. | Jul 17 11:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Let me break it down for those that can't understand. Arvind has been telling a fairy tale about AI, Quantum, Hybrid Cloud, etc. These are high growth areas for the rest of the market. Market assumed for IBM too. But now that Z17 cycle is winding down, market is figuring out that all of IBM's revenue growth was from mainframes - NOT from AI, Quantum, or any of the other buzzwords. No happy ending for this fairy tale. | Jul 17 11:19 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @D1. You have hit the nail on the head. A couple of deals slipping shouldn’t have impacted the stock price by 30% UNLESS there is some fundamental issues OR IBM had been speculated way up. | Jul 17 11:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I think the speculation issue was quite real as IBM’s current PE at a 211 share price is a mediocre 17. That’s right in the IBM Ginni lead wheelhouse. | Jul 17 11:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | What’s old is new again | Jul 17 11:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | IBM is not growing, but rather farming an existing, slightly shrinking install base. | Jul 17 11:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | There is a lack of innovation that can inspire investors so the slow decline has come back into vogue. | Jul 17 11:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | What’s a CEO to do given that the offshore to India play has run its course? | Jul 17 11:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | You got it. Restructure the business just like Gerstner did. | Jul 17 11:19 |
