Why jump from a $120+/- stock to a $700+/- stock? Is this all you have? Do you just like technology? If you like tech why not get into a tech heavy mutual fund or ETF? We're going to need a lot more details before giving any guidance.

If the value of the IBM represents more than 10% +/- of your portfolio, you might consider diversifying. As for whether or not you should look at Google as an alternative, I don't have an opinion on that.

I like both stocks....
While their stock price has suffered lately, I don't agree with this.
IBM must constantly adapt which is why they have not been growing revenue. They are getting out of commoditized chip businesses and focusing on the services business which is in high demand. The whole Internet of things trend will play in their favor.
They also have constantly raised the dividend and bought back stock over the years. It's a long term hold stock. Now is when you buy more not sell...disclaimer (I own IBM stock, do business with google and sell software as a service for non competing companies)
If you would end up with a tax bill making the trade that you can't offset I definitely would not do it.
