This just in: IBM to fire 15k for 2k5, move to Pakistan.

Edit: Honestly, though. This is good. Jobs and healthy economies make baby Jesus happy.

All of your wedding savings?!?! I could just see the conversation between your and your Fiancee this July:

rh71: Ummm, honey there is something I have to tell you.
future wife: Sure rh71, what is it?
rh71: That news story we just saw about the hugh coverup at IBM and the subsequent stock price crash....
future wife: Yeah......
rh71: What do you think about eloping and spending our honeymoon at the motel 6 down the street?
future wife: You are joking right?!??!
rh71: Um....I love you?

shush... she's been trying to get me to sell some of it since before end of 2k3. 😉 I'll sell it around June or so... the stock has had a good track record since I can remember.

1/3 are supposed to be US based.

This is anticipated to be a net increase, there may be jobs eliminated.
40% will be college slots.
