I think GE is good.

G E is very good

it should be very interesting to see what happens with their earnings tomorrow also to see what they have to say about any more potential spin offs

GE could be a great place here, they are looking to spin things off to create more value it could be like altria of a couple years ago

As an American conglomerate this company has significant exposure to all sectors of business which means that when the economy turns around this thing should see a nice turnaround as well, if you are willing to hold until that happens you may be well rewarded

I agree GE at this level is great buy LT.

after hearing the GE earnings call I think they could be doing more to improve earnings power, maybe they did Welch back, hah.

GE is definitely a very good buy. It is a very old and reliable corporation. For the immediate long term this is a safe place.

In the short run all stocks are volatile at this point. But if you have some time GE is as solid as anything out there right now.

I'm inclined to agree that if GE collapses we will have regressed to hunting for food with pointed sticks.

Of course General Eclectic has a whole whack of companies that it owns and there could be some skeletons there that we don't know about, and remember the Enron problem with debts in lots of companies under a general umbrella.

Still, if Warren Buffett has faith in GE I expect there has been a high grade of due diligence.

yea except he also has all the cash in the world and has to invest it sometime, not to mention he can afford to wait out a GE downturn

More then half sales are overseas ,may take a bit longer to recover but all things concidered should be a conerstone of ones portfolio.Sit back and collect dividens and stock price should increase at a steady pace .Do not think you will lose money or sleep with G.E..BB

this thing wont fail and with the backing of the government you should be good in a while
