Michael,
I love the way the chipsters can't get their story straight. One day it's "Next year is going to be great because chip demand is increasing," and the next day it's "We're laying people off because of decreasing demand." Actually, sometimes on the same day.

Despite our best wishes, Gert is untouchable until IBM stock starts to tank, no matter how much he trashes the balance sheet. Will the herd ever catch on to the fact that stock buybacks are done with shareholders' money to offset millions of options going into management's pockets?

But I think we have a chance with Gert in a skirt - it sure looks like her days are numbered.
