Share prices have a strong psychological affect on many investors. This is why you will see increased buying and selling around certain price points and not market cap.

Yep, I also worked for Big Co. and they wouldn't even consider smaller corporations. IBM has a history and a deeply ingrained "support" structure within other corporations.

I could have built in house solutions that deployed faster and better auditing in just a few weeks than what they paid hundreds of thousands in licensing fees and man hours to do the same job. Hell, I even pitched it and management said no.
