ORCL blamed their software sales force for their big miss this quarter. The truth is that IBM is kicking their rear ends and taking market share. IBM will be down tomorrow in sympathy with the ORCL debacle. That will provide wise traders an opportunity to buy before IBM reports next month...
Why don't you check back in a year. IBM will raise its dividend next week...
Just put all trolls on ignore. IBM was a gift at $190 and there were trolls on here posting the end of Big Blue and it would trade down below $100. I will listen to bears, but not BS...
Any price below $200 is a gift...
I agree! The Q2 report will be a blowout, and onward we move...
Ninht still thinks it is 1988. Congrats! That was one of the most ignorant posts on a Yahoo message board I have ever seen...
IBM started 2013 at $191! Today it will trade at $212! That is a pretty good return for three months...
Many investors are expecting IBM to announce a soft report after the ORCL and INFY disasters. But, do not expect IBM to miss this quarter. I expect at least $4 EPS and perhaps softer revenue numbers like $26 billion. I do not expect the stock to tank after the report.
I was surprised by this, and it is not a good sign....
NFLX will trade over $300 in the second half of 2013...
$53.49 on June 17... Going much higher....
I am seeing a breakout in the next week or two... GLTA!
$20 in earnings and you think it will trade back to $150? Not likely! I would not be surprised to see it fill that gap at $196...
NFLX will blow past $200 without any help from CNBC...
I have held IBM since 1976, and not worried...
Good riddance! Please do not come back with any scary predictions of impending doom. Yes, the market is at an all-time high and will eventually fall as it awlays does. But, longer term IBM is a great investment for any portfolio. IBM is a great company and you have trashed it for years.
Is this a bubble or a balloon? You have me confused...
Ask yourself; why is the DJIA going higher? MCD trading at 19 times earnings, IBM at 14 times earnings?
Because these stocks pay dividends which are greater than what you can get in the bond market. Also, it is a safe have for international investors. Would you rather invest in Europe?
Yes, this market is trading above normal valuations. But, it can stay this way for a long time. Do not fight the fed. The trend is your friend.
Look at the stocks making all-time highs...
1. General Mills
2. Kimberly-Clark
3. Smuckers
4. McCormick
5. McDonald's
6. Proctor & Gamble
These are all defensive plays, and safe havens. You may not like it. But, that is reality!
IBM has doubled in five years, and it will do so again. Will it correct and trade down to $180? Maybe? But, if it does buy it as it is going to $300...
$16.70 with current multiple puts IBM at $235. I would buy the dip when it fills the gap at $196...
IBM will not split the stock until they reach the stated goal of $20 per share. The dividend will increase, and my guess is $.95 per quarter from $.85 per quarter. Which is $3.80 on a yearly basis. Ya get paid to hold the stock. Kinda nice huh?
