IBM has stagnated for about a year or so. The sale of PC business to Lenovo confused the top line picture superficially. The management is focussed on its service revenues and building high visibility. A solid company and a safe harbor in tough times...

The daddy of tech stocks. Pays dividends, and keeps growing. You can buy this and hold it unti you retire. Big capital has been lagging. In past six months, IBM has started to move. Expect a small dip in January for tax year reasons, but buy now.

Providing solutions for Wii, Xbox360 and PS3,masterising the Cell technology, they might release extremely powerfull server chips soon. I think IBM is looking good in the future. Current P/E of 16, not too expensive.

Tech is the future forever! Well it seems that way anyway. Leaders will have the capital to invest and have a huge jumpstart if they can keep acquiring the competition and new start ups.
