jhg,

Holy Cow.......

Unisys met estimates and said they had no problem with estimates for Q4........This IBM stuff looks much worse then what UIS reported.

UIS lost 40%+ in 2 trading sessions?

Better luck with IBM.
I guess Y2K is real......or at least the panic is.

These knee jerk reactions are creating some great bargins...IMO.. Look at what has happened to LMT....RTN.B.....DELL.....MU....UIS......just to name a few.

bg

ps. Good thing Microsoft used words like "awesome" and "wonderful".......see if they say it next time.

No chance the fed will raise......fear ahead.

All, Does this mean the entire year 2000 is shot to hell?
<< Afterward, in an interview, Maine told Reuters that he did
not expect IBM to make up the first-quarter shortfall during
the subsequent three quarters. "That's not to say we can or
can't," Maine said, noting the difficulty of predicting any
rebound in customer spending several quarters ahead

You have to make your own call on selling but it looks like the next area of support is 83, assuming it dips below 100.

Will be a very tough decision as IBM will open significantly lower tomorrow. I would recommend swapping your position over to MSFT, which will give you downside protection, but offers you unlimited upside potential. When the market turns up, MSFT should zoom past IBM pretty quickly.
