Use the divs from $USOI to buy lower risk dividend stocks like $T, $OKE, $IBM.

We know $USOI is high risk.

Don't know why anyone would be buying $IBM right now.

Well, #Buffett himself admitted to mistakes in $IBM, $ORCL, and Kraft Heinz. He also admitted missing out on $AMZN and $GOOG

This is nothing new. Look at Bayer $BAYN and all the other German companies that got huge by using slave Jewish labor during the Holocaust. Even $IBM profited from the Nazi's by helping them to be more efficient when killing Jews.

All companies really care about is their bottom line. In 99% of instances, any company being "kind" has only done so after doing an analysis and seeing that the positive PR benefits outweigh the costs.

One of the many reasons they wanted $TWX. Adapt or die. $IBM has been able to turn it around. I think $T waited too late.

Sadly, it wasn't a strong showing for #IBM. That said, at least it is finally showing revenue growth. $IBM

Personally I believe IBM could be returning back to growth on the back of significant investments in revolutionary new technologies like #blockchain and quantum computing. It is possible $IBM could be a leader in these new fields.

While true, I think $IBM and $MSFT are two likely beneficiaries. And I think the author is correct that any company, such as $AMZN which has criticized #Trump will likely be excluded from consideration.

While the industry as a whole will likely benefit from this executive order, it is really too early to tell if $IBM, $MSFT or any other specific company will benefit.

Couldn't agree with you more @[Alan Pennock](user:31485). Closed out my short on $IBM and shorted $SWHC and $SGY.
