Whenever a CEO takes the stage at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, we investors expect them to reveal something meaningful... innovative... in a word - big.
But after IBM Corp. CEO Virginia Rometty's keynote speech, I was left unimpressed - and so was Wall Street. Last week, shares of IBM fell to five-year lows, off nearly 19% over last six months.
This sudden drop is only the latest bad news for the once-mighty IBM. And it's just one reason why I've penned a letter to Rometty and offered her a custom-made action plan.

If the violent International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE: IBM) stock price movements this year are any indication of investor sentiment, then it's clear that Wall Street is clueless.
And that's understandable. Its current iteration is not what it has been known for historically, and it's undergoing a tough transition.
Here are the basics and what you need to consider before buying IBM stock...

Just after the bell yesterday (Monday), International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE: IBM) earnings were released.
And the results were dismal. So dismal, in fact, that the IBM stock price has fallen as more than 5% in pre-market trading, erasing all the gains it has made in the last two weeks.
And it's no wonder that following IBM earnings, the market punished the IBM stock price...

International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE: IBM) stock has struggled over the past two years for sure, despite some promising upside for the first half of 2015.
But that doesn't mean IBM has been lazily sitting on its hands, wedded to an antiquated business model, as has been the standard criticism for this century-old technology company every time it runs into trouble.
Here's what four key partnerships announced in the last year will do for the IBM stock price...

We just heard a bad idea for a tech company that tops them all: this one involves Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL)...
A major media source recently suggested that Apple should drop one of its most popular products.

The IBM stock price has been crashing over the last week.
And just at a time when it looked as though the patient holders of International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE: IBM) stock were getting a reprieve from the two straight years of decline.
So, why is IBM stock falling? Why was is up in the first place? It's all a question of cloud...

The International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE: IBM) dividend may well be the one good thing about IBM stock right now.
It certainly eases the pain of the last two years, where the company has struggled to regain highs it hit in March 2013.
But don't be so quick to jump on the stock solely for that IBM dividend...

The International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE: IBM) stock price today is hardly budging after it fell 1.8% yesterday (Thursday).

Here's what the IBM stock price today says about the market's misreading of the company...
