According to John Perry Barlow, "Jeff Davis is a truly gifted trouble-maker."


IBM just had a huge scientific breakthrough in making data switches at
the molecular level. It will probably revolutionize the
industry...and is (As yet) much more feasible than "quantum
computing". IBM is probably good stock to hold on to right now.


Unfortunately one stock does not a portfolio make. With this
character, it's just name-dropping on a corporate level. IBM has had
its share of major miscues particularly in the late eighties which
required significant restructuring. That is why, effective
diversification is necessary. Proof - look at all those poor people
that had their retirement savings tied up in the Enron debacle. Ya
never know. However, it appears that Mr. Doofus again avoided
answering the question put to him. Big surprise.
