International Business Machines Corp. (IBM)

Monster company, currently undervalued. Growth will be fueled by continued demand for their consulting and service business and high demand by video game makers for their CPUs (xBox360, PS3, and the Wii all use IBM chips).

The recovery in the market will primarily be led by small to medium cap. stocks including most of those in the S&P 500. Although I expect IBM to be a buy at the current price, I still don't think that it will outperform the 500 index.

sell at 110

Strong innovation pipeline, nimble business model in multiple but highly related busineses.

With their solid growth, this is a good place to buy after impressive quarterly report.

long awaited rebound from 2002

Just a solid company.

What else can you say about a company whose CEO gets to talk to the President of the United States? That story must have made IBMers feel good.

In services and infrastructure, IBM is a real company delivering real services that people really need. I like them for their services, and some of their hardware, like cash registers and servers. Despite today's reported layoffs, IBM has being doing the grunt work of trimming and leaning for years. IBM has what it takes to hold its own in this market and prosper.

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.

Borrowing money to buy back shares?

Time and time again, the international scene has done its homework. Backbone is strong for future outlook.

IBM, what can you say. Well I say very steady and pretty good growth. I have made quite a bit over the last year due to the steady increase and shifting business to be more B2B and manufacturing rather than woorying too much about regular consumer based products (Desktop and Laptop computers & accessories) I am thinking $140 before Q4 of 2008 due to high end server sales as well as the custom processors needed for the video game counsol market.

price at 91.49 on 10/08 beat earning estimates and will go up

What else can anyone say?

older than the hills!

WHO MAKES THE CHIPS FOR ALL THE NEW VIDEO GAMES???? IBM

This stock will continue to run up for the next couple of years, but then it will slide down just the same. Then you buy some more at low levels.

This is the traditional blue chip, but it has a big potential to expand business in new areas that we can't see today
