Barry, I was foolish enough to believe that earninps per share were what was important. I guess everyone else knows that earnings as a percent of revenues is really the key. I just hope IBM's earnings don't go up 10x while the earnings only rise 5x. That would be a clear reason to sell. IBD shows IBM with an EPS rank of 85. It should have been clear to me that expecting a company with an EPS rank better that 85% of the other companies shouldn't do as well as an average company. Scott
