The market lets you change horses halfway through the race, and more people should take advantage of that. A better company today than a year ago. CEO has been excellent. It has aerospace, power, and renewables. A lot of future growth is already built in to the price. He'd sell.
With the weaker Cdn$, General Electric (GE-N) or an ETF that is hedged to the Cdn$? He would argue against hedging the Cdn$. Hedging does not come free, it is very expensive. One of the real merits of global equities is that they are a volatility dampener in your asset allocations. If you are hedging the currency, you are not getting one of the key benefits. GE’s product portfolio is quite well-positioned because it has positions in aerospace, wind farms, turbines etc. One of the issues this company has had for several years is that it is so big that investors are not willing to give it a premier multiple because of its big exposure to GE Financial.
