MB: I despise this guy, but we have to give him credit for understanding both the temper of the times as well as what the sheep will digest. I have pestered institutional types to just lay out 10-12 quarters worth of IBM numbers and READ them as well as think a tiny bit. Stock up by 400%, in spite of NO growth, DECLINING quality of revenues, and shareholder equity DISAPPEARING like an ice cube on a summer day. I don't even mention the massive insider selling anymore. You of course know the answer,..."I have to be here", or,..."You don't get fired for owning IBM". Brilliant. I love stocks where the risk-reward ratio ceases to be a ratio, especially on a big upside day. (g) Best, Earlie
