Back in April, my last post on IBM, was also the day of the earnings release.(Permalink: https://goldtadise.com/?p=537841) We got a nice move higher in the stock but not the definitive breakout of the eight year downtrend that I was looking for. Today’s earnings release should be the catalyst that finally does it. This was definitely the place to hide out in the first half of the year, collecting the dividend and waiting for the breakout. Go Big Blue.
