Stock price rise is crazy!

Cisco’s P/E ratio is 33+ - higher than Google, Amazon, Meta and Netflix. That’s crazy- Wall Street is valuing Cisco higher than all these other companies!

If I have one regret about not being in Cisco it’s this: stock was dead for many years and now that I’m no longer in, has taken off like a rocket! Just my luck I guess, don’t think anything changed significantly but the external perceptions sure have.


P66 to be acquired!

Water fountain rumors are that GoGo and Southernland have been meeting with outside legal teams negotiating an acquisition of P66. Anybody have any insight?
Watching the stock trades of the ELT and Board definitely makes one wonder if there might be some validity to the rumors…


$1,090,000 of CENTENE CORPORATION lobbying disclosed from Q4 of 2025.

Do we think the government has “the people’s” interest in mind? On a side note, below is a partial list of politicians transactions of just Centene stock last year alone. Interesting how they all seem shocked at the actions of health insurance company’s yet they all have skin-in-the-game of this money generating racket.

The more the stock dives the more layoffs will come..

Despite 14 billion in profits in the last year. Its not out of the question for the stock to go to low 200s. Nothing matters to this company other than 1. Stock price 2. shareholders.
Hard work does not get rewarded along with all the extra hours you put in. Do the bare minimum like Peter in office space, you will get same results. A layoff, oh and sc--w that little dork Sandork Di--oani Mr 100x


I've been furiously dusting off my resume

Working every contact, and applying for anything where my skills might fit. I'm becoming desperate. One single interview, and it didn't work out. It's as bad out there as everyone says. Watching Open Text's nosedive is freaking me out. We knew things were bad, and layoffs became the norm, but this feels like the death throes.


Headcount is the inverse of stock price

May is going to be brutal. Especially for long tenured employees. George has hitched the wagon to the AI bubble which is in the process of deflating. If only we had invested in innovation instead of claiming NFS is a foundational technology for AI. Management only cares about the stock price.


IBM Showcases New Vision for Quantum. How Nvidia and AMD Fit in the Computing Future.

Quantum is coming, just keep waiting. . .

It might seem natural to pit the capabilities of quantum computers—often touted as the next big technology—against today’s supercomputers. But scientists have a different, more collaborative vision for the future.

Rather than outright replacing classical machines, quantum systems will likely be built on top of existing architecture to enable more powerful computations.

This perspective was captured in new research from International Business Machines, which showed how classical graphics processing units, or GPUs, from leading chip makers could work alongside quantum processors to execute problems faster.

“It’s important for the world to see that quantum computers aren’t just these things that [will] replace your computers,” Jerry Chow, IBM’s chief technology officer of quantum-centric supercomputing, said in an interview with Barron’s. “They’re really part of the entire computing infrastructure.”

Two papers co-authored by IBM researchers detailing the results were posted to Cornell University’s arXiv, a research-sharing platform for papers that have yet to be peer-reviewed.

The first paper showed how GPUs from Advanced Micro Devices, contained within the Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, could be combined with IBM’s Heron processor to model complex chemical systems and provide a 100-time speedup over central processing units, or CPUs.

“It’s a notoriously difficult problem for classical computers,” Chow explained. “But we know now, there’s a part of these chemistry problems which are best handled on the quantum computer.”

Follow-up work with Riken, a Japanese research institute, was showcased in the second paper. The study showed how the same chemical systems could be modeled on IBM quantum computers for an additional 20% increase in performance when using a new algorithmic approach on Nvidia chips.

“Overall, they’re all supporting the same narrative, that the future of computing is quantum-centric,” Chow said. As he sees it, it’s the next logical step in a continuous evolution of technology.

Classical GPUs have already proven their prowess at one type of math. The chips perform calculations by breaking large problems into thousands of simpler tasks that are processed simultaneously, through a method called parallel processing.

Meanwhile, quantum processors harness the properties of quantum mechanics, which makes them best suited for complex modeling tasks. This explains why most quantum research consists of some kind of modeling problem—and why quantum is expected to have an outsize impact in the areas of dr-g discovery and materials science.

Classical processors are “the technology behind everything that we see today with language models and training and inference and so forth,” according to Chow.

It’s impossible to rule out a distant future “where everything is all based off the same kind of technology,” he added. “But at least from what we’ve seen with how supercomputing has evolved in the last 10 to 15 years, it’s all about composable pieces.”

Jay Gambetta, who oversees IBM’s research effort, shared a similar view in an earlier interview with Barron’s. “We’re imagining a heterogeneous accelerating framework that connects quantum and classical compute,” Gambetta explained during a tour of IBM’s Thomas J. Watson Research Center in October.

Much of IBM’s past research has incorporated hybrids of quantum and classical computing. In September, computers running on IBM’s Heron processor worked alongside bit-based machines to perform a bond trading problem.

One month earlier, IBM and AMD unveiled a formal collaboration to develop quantum-centric supercomputers. The partners indicated they were exploring ways for AMD chips to control errors on IBM’s quantum processors, which could advance IBM’s efforts to develop fault-tolerant quantum computers by the end of the decade.

Crucially, the latest results demonstrate that real-world applications of quantum computers are just a step away.

“We have a number of partners who already have clusters of supercomputers that they know how to access,” Chow said. “To them, it’s like, ‘Now I have the keys to a brand-new car, let me see what I can do with it and how I can work it in with what I’ve been doing.’”

IBM shares climbed 6.8% on Thursday, bolstered by strong quarterly earnings. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell 1.9%. So far this year, IBM has gained 6.1%, outstripping a 0.7% gain for the index.


DXC Execs strategy - why buyback shares?

They know how to squeeze the last bit of blood out of the employees. The company is making $650million cash profit but they plead poverty and won't pay the employees. Execs take millions for themselves and on top they are using the profits cash buying a third of the company by share buybacks. Drums package suddenly goes from $6.7 million to $10million effectively back door. They squeeze every $ they can from employees. Its plundering every which way they can.

IBM Sales Rise 12% as Customers’ Appetite for AI Grows

The tech company posted a fourth-quarter profit of $5.60 billion, up from $2.92 billion a year earlier

International Business Machines recorded higher revenue in the fiscal fourth quarter, as customers move to implement AI in more areas of their businesses.

IBM’s generative AI book of business now stands at more than $12.5 billion, up $3 billion from the third quarter. Chief Financial Officer Jim Kavanaugh said he anticipates that the AI book of business will continue to increase at a similar pace, with growth continuing through the next handful of years.

“What you’re seeing is the early indications of moving from what I’ll call industry experimentation to we are now beginning to the cycle of scaling,” Kavanaugh said.

The Armonk, N.Y., tech company on Wednesday posted a profit of $5.60 billion, or $5.88 a share, in the quarter ended Dec. 31, compared with $2.92 billion, or $3.09 a share, a year earlier.

Stripping out certain one-time items, adjusted per-share earnings were $4.52, ahead of the $4.31 anticipated by analysts, according to FactSet.

Revenue rose 12% to $19.69 billion. Analysts surveyed by FactSet forecast revenue of $19.21 billion. Sales were driven by software and infrastructure, which rose 14% and 21%, respectively.

Within IBM’s software business, data sales rose 22%, while automation was up 18% and hybrid cloud increased 10%. In infrastructure, IBM Z fueled most of the growth, with sales climbing 67%.

Consulting revenues were $5.3 billion, which was a hair below analysts’ expectations. Kavanaugh said businesses are feeling more confident about spending—which typically leads to stronger consulting results—as macroeconomic uncertainty has subsided compared with this time last year.

“While we’re still operating in a dynamic environment, we see pretty good green shoots about growth factors,” Kavanaugh said.

In 2026, IBM expects full-year revenue growth of more than 5%. That would be a slow-down from 2025, but higher than the previous two years. Wall Street was projecting 4.6% in annual sales growth.

IBM in December agreed to pay $31 a share for the data-infrastructure Confluent, which provides technology that helps manage streams of data using AI models. The bo-m in AI usage across industries has boosted the need for its capabilities.

The synergies with Confluent are expected to increase IBM’s total addressable market by more than $100 billion, adding real-time data streaming to the business for the first time, Kavanaugh said.

“It is the glue that brings together IBM’s portfolio,” Kavanaugh said of Confluent.


Vz 401K

FYI if u have Verizon stock in your 401k and choose to select cash instead of dividend reinvestment it gets treated as regular income when the dividend pays.

Just like this coming Monday.

Even though it’s coming from the 401k.

No penalty and depending how much stock you have can add up.

Just saying


FISV = $60?

Why are you guys surprised? All along I projected the stock to be in the 50s.

What is next? Fiserv is no longer a fintech company, it is a company with a bunch of accountants and top-heavy with VPs and SVPs. All its IP 🧐 assets are contractors. No one would invest in an accounting firm. Clover? It’s only 8% of the market and going down.

Infinite? Simply an agent, facilitating, accounting cover-up to beautify quarterly earnings.

Sad but this company is dead without its full time IP committed to Fiserv. Mike can’t do anything, Frank left him with long term contracts with third parties and many Frank’s kool-aid guys still around. Stock to $40 .

It will take Mike about another 2 years to know IP is a must to the survival of this company.


RSUs - why in VZ stock?

I was laid off with the Dec 19 crew. I got an RSU payout on Jan 20, another one on Jan 27, and then the last one on Jan 29 (yesterday). The first two were paid out to my Fidelity Individual account in cash. The last one was paid in VZ stock though. Anyone know why the last one was in stock?


What would a Devon and Coterra marriage look like?

Devon needs additional reserves and production that it would never achieve through the drill bit. In fact, it advertised 20-30 year drilling runway is closer to 6 years. Hence the hook up with Coterra.
