The market already knows that the financials of IBM will take a hit after the acquisition of SUN But the acquisition would be good for IBM as they grab hold of the shrinking enterprise hardware market! no one buys big servers anymore...IBM will have a better chance at the next innovation curve to save its floundering systems business and get back in the market In other news: So Africa is a new outsourcing destination, gives good hope to internationally poor locations with criminal history and other believers in sinking megaliths like IBM and outsourcing!

IBM's business model is fading as cloud computing begins its life. Over the next decade, we should see more and more companies putting applications onto the web, and IBM will not likely be a leader in this category, due to strength of companies like CRM and GOOG. In past downturns, IBM's stock has taken big hits from 58% to 84% drops, I surmise IBM's long-term and short-term risks can take the stock down at least 58% (2000-2002 drop) and possibly as high as the first IBM business model challenge (1987-1988) when MSFT began challenging their business model.

DJIA Market Wrap1 November
N/A


The 60-minute trend is negative according to the force index indicator. %b has printed a slightly positive divergence. Prices are testing the lower trendline of the recently formed downward channel. Finally, the long awaited correction has started. At 9600 there is an important level; here there is an open up gap printed on 6 October. The closure (already occurred in the S&P) would confirm the negative phase. Many stocks are trading below their 20-day moving averages, but the picture is still positive in the longer term moving averages. Some stocks printed new 20-day lows (BAC, CSCO, G...
