Would you care to explain why you think buybacks are "ridiculous". IMHO this isn't the view of the majority on Wall Street.

IMHO, buybacks that IBM is doing are far better than the dilution that is happening with stocks like Cisco and their excessive granting of stock options. Would you rather have buybacks like IBM or 80,000,000 new shares per quarter like Cisco?

IBM has other problems, like a deteriorating balance sheet and this in part is being fueled by buying back shares with money they don't have.
