schestowitzI believe you are incorrect about the 163. SW is now 43% of IBM and growing at 10% NOTE it has an 80% margin. That does not imply going back to 163, but rather staying where it’s at, or if the other 2 division make some profit going back up. Let’s face it, Infrastructure is relegated to the business cycle as customers can only eat so much technology so fast no matter how good. Consulting is where growth dropped the ball, and IBM canOct 30 14:05
schestowitz easily fix that by just prioritizing where and when they want to play (can you say Fortune 500) If they did that, IBM could easily 1/2 consulting and that saved expense would drop to the bottom line without a corresponding reduction in profit. Remember consulting is the least profitable division and yet has the highest head count. THUS it makes sense that IBM will trim consulting while reprioritizing it as it hurts the profit line the Oct 30 14:05

schestowitz"Not sure the investors are pleased. Check the stock price diving due to insignificant growth or negative growth perhaps in inflation adjusted dollars and infrastructure and consulting revenue diving. Why? Because hiring cheap monkeys in India to just interact with a know it all AI Watson to serve clients doesn't work. Alvind has messed big time his AI replacing experts BS. It's not just HR he's trying to RA but accross the board.Oct 30 22:40
schestowitzInvestors should actively push to Alvind's firing and replacing the useless BoD.Oct 30 22:40
schestowitzIf the stock price keeps declining this may happen.Oct 30 22:40
schestowitzGinnie was worse yes and Warren Buffett lost a lot on his IBM investment believing the hype. But that doesn't mean waiting 10 years for Alvind to ki-l IBM completely. Should act now in my view. "Oct 30 22:40
