    Not really.

    It has been very volatile lately, going up and down several dollars for no real reason.

    I am on calls 2 or 3 times a month where she is also on the call. She seems well liked by the technical side of the house and is very approachable.

    Won't catch me calling her Ginnie, I stick to ma'am and Sir for VP's and above if we are on the clock.

    Better her than some other female execs we have.

    That was just one of the GSD failures. There was the Texas Data Center fiasco, which is now being re-bid.

    I'm sorry but IBM GSD is full of incompetent buffoons and making Ms. Rometty CEO will drive IBM into the ground. I would sell your stock immediately.
