My fake portfolio as a kid was heavily IBM weighted. I think it was 120 or 126/share before the crash. This is one of the reasons I got a degree in finance (and economics). I wanted to know what to do with my money if I ever had any.

Outsourcing/H1b costing a lot more than they save is my guess. If you develop in-house software, you ARE A SOFTWARE COMPANY, whether you want to be or not. Amazing how this good old boy network still thinks like it's 1970.
