    Does anyone know if owning IBM stock gives one the same discounts as EPP? How much stock should one own? Did things change after the Lenovo purchase, or does Lenovo still give discounts to IBM stock holders?

    I've heard somewhere that very little stock is needed, and buying and selling it is rather inexpensive. Can anyone confirm this?

    the EPP discount is greater than the shareholder discount (which is the same as the Mastercard / Visa discount). I'm not totally sure on the amount of stock needed to get this discount.
