    Well as with the IBM partnership, I expect the same outcome Cisco which will come at a loss to them while doing all the work for Apple.

    I dumped my IBM stock shortly after the announcement of the Apple & IBM deal & I'm glad I did as IBM has dropped 22% since they partnered up.

    I have to hand it to Apple for the way they use the Wal-Mart strategy when it comes to suppliers & that in order to do business with Apple you must pay them to do so.

    1. Cisco not at a loss, but may be one way to survive? They are making money from new market like China, but facing stiff competition in their core business.

     

    2. IBM Dropped a lot, Apple did well. Oh, DOW dropped Hell of a lot. It is more of the market, nothing to do with deal. But do congratz for selling in the right time.
