So, after five years of sliding sales, leadership still sings the same old "we are optimistic" song? I am sure it's easy to be optimistic about the future when they know their jobs are not in jeopardy.

She's optimistic because her future is assured and as long as she keeps the price up while the Big Boys exit they will take care of her.
Yes, watching the internal video from Rometty after 2Q results, she is just out of her mind... Basically saying that she is building the company to be ready and win in 5+ years from now. Like she has any vision and nobody else (MSFT, AWS, Google, etc...) have any clue where this business is going to. Time to go Ginny the Eagle! Pack up and leave now before the company is bankrupt.
