Hi,

The IBM decision was made in congruence with my decision to sell T. The decision to get off T was multi-reasoned with some influence from Chowdahs teachings based on condition of market and where my portfolio is in relation to its goals.

-Poor long-term performer in relation to rest of portfolio
-Tax harvesting
-Higher conviction in mix of replacements from immediate income replacement to some with much lower income but better TR and long term div growth prospects.

T was the bigger decision than IBM because it was a much larger position than IBM but once the decision was made for T it made sense to bunch IBM into the decision as well as it was in the portfolio for the same reason and fit the same reasons mentioned for a sell as T.

I've got enough time (under 30 years old) that if I can get either at what I deem a insanely cheap price with a belief in long-term turnaround I wouldn't hesitate to buy. Although I imagine that won't happen for T until after the spin-off and I knoow what an insanely good price versus it's dividend payout is.

Thanks
