Welcome to Market Foolery.

I'm Chris Hill joining me in studio today

from Motley Fool 1, Jason Moser and from Stock Advisor, Canada.

Taylor Markerman, happy Monday, Jen.

You too.

Back for another one. Back for another one. A beautiful day out there oh man this lovely weekend lovely weekend and this is like the epitome of just classic fall weather

The two weeks that you live for here it is it's the two weeks that you live for here. It is. It's the two weeks of like this is great.

That's all going to go to hell. Earnings Palusa rolls on so we will talk Halliburton we will talk

Hasbro. Let's start with Big Blue third

quarter profits for IBM 14% lower than expected and the stock is having its

biggest single day drop in, I want to say close to five years.

This is, this is one of those situations where it's important to remember that the Dow Jones

industrial average is made up of 30 stocks and

if one of them is having a really bad day like today with IBM it can single-handedly pull down the doubt I mean shares of IBM down to about 7% this

morning yeah how bad was this quarter well I mean if you you you want to if you look

up the definition uninspiring I think it refers you actually to IBM's income statement because it is absolutely uninspiring.

I mean, revenues are not going anywhere, and I don't know, I don't know exactly what they do to turn this boat around. I mean they are

making this shift further away from hardware more towards like the business

services and whatnot which can be certainly very profitable there's certainly plenty of opportunities out there but but IBM seems to be a very

old school style of of of business

and mentality versus all of these more nimble
