Updated late on 02/10/21 per Astute Reader Crypto Eric - I want to ensure is not mislead by the Title of the post that IBM is in any manner making a Guarantee. That would be incorrect. The actual guarantee was written over 200 years ago and that info can be found here - https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/bankguarantee.asp
Thanks for keeping us honest and on the right track Crypto Eric.
