“Okay, I didn’t think IBM’s quarter… was all that bad at all. I think you have a major opportunity down here because I think that we’re going to start talking about IBM and quantum. I think they have the lead in quantum, and I think quantum really does matter. They have a great software package. They’re doing so many things that are good. Against that, let me tell you what’s really going on. The chart’s bad, and people are saying it’s a head and shoulders. Now, you and I both know there comes a time when you have to step in if the fundamentals are right, and I think we’re there, okay.”
