Thesis
The investor sold IBM as they became less comfortable with its long-term competitive advantage in enterprise due to the rise of Amazon AWS, and they prefer investments with multiple ways to win rather than path-dependent outcomes.
Did it work?
inconclusive
confidence: low
Without specific price performance data or a defined time frame since the pitch, it's difficult to assess whether the thesis regarding IBM's competitive position has played out. The concerns about IBM's long-term competitive advantage due to AWS are valid, but without further information, we cannot determine the outcome of the investment decision.
