SB, I have no idea what you are trying to say. If you would care to respond to my posts directly, rather than making dubious and obscure comparisons to completely unrelated issues, we can have a serious discussion. If your purpose is to denigrate the stock and then obscure the issues when someone responds to your posts, or am I confused about why you are calling me a "spinmeister"? Scott

Skeets, the idea that IBM has to bribe people to buy its crap is a positive is laughable. Yes, the finance operation had good margins in an economic recovery. Now, with even this slight downturn, this will become another Bankers Trust story. The good news for IBM management is that they will take all the losses in a one-time writeoff some day in the future and the shareholders aren't bright enough to figure out that one. Or, at least they haven't figured off all the writeoffs and options scams and stock buybacks in the past. MB
