International Business Machines Corp. (IBM)

Will continue to be a leader and not a follower in the tech world.

They are cheaters and sooner or later they will pay for it.

cheap, positioned to benefit from the improving economy

Not much room to expand, this company will gain, but dont expect it to beat the market any time soon

Zacks Rank 3-Hold, Recommend Neutral, Industry Rank 110 / 217, Target 134.00, Avg Target of 21 analysts 135.50

A great blue-chip technology company with growing earnings and increasing dividends, and you don't have to pay for any hype.

I love IBM, but it's already priced high. Once it breaks 130 dollars, they need to think about a split to keep investors excited. Otherwise, this is an underperform stock.

Record quantity of patents issued each year continues...
All that intellectual property must be worth something someday.

a good stock

Waaay oversold on earnings....stock simply too cheap.

IBM employs the best talent in this business sector. People are the most important asset. It is well diversified throughout the global economy. It is well managed financially. It is an experienced business competitor.

this was a stock I picked because the market crashed and I just didn't see how the world couldn't continue to increase efficiency with computer services. I am a computer consultant myself. We're like accountants now, companies need us to run their business. It would be like going without food. And technology is the best way to increase workplace efficiency. IBM is a nice stock if you can get it at a nice price.

Smart grid.

i choice this stock because this stock have to deal with business and machines and that interest me.

Initial business machines isn't such a good stock, it dropped tremendously after the economy crash and make take a year or so to get back into business like it was before.Before the crash many businesses were opening and they needed business machinery but now a lot of businesses have been closed so until the economy gets back rite this stock isn't going to be much use.

Still number 1 with services and products.

seems solid

Strong like ox.

Globally diversified, well positioned in the BRIC countries, particularly India.
