　　In December of 2004, IBM sold their personal computer division to Chinese computer company Lenovo for $650 million in cash and $600 million in stock. IBM has just sold off 300 million shares of Lenovo stock, going from a 13.2% ownership in the company to 9.7%. After announcing great profits for the fourth quarter of 2006, Lenovo's stock had jumped, but news of the IBM sell-off brought Lenovo's share price down quickly enough that the company requested a suspension of trading.
