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.
Had never liked this because GE Capital masked a lot of the other returns, so the stock used to trade at a huge multiple because of their so-called stable earnings. It was a massive finance company that could manipulate the earnings. In 2008, it became unstable. They have a new CEO who has to 1) take a lot of costs out, 2) sell a lot of businesses and 3) cut the dividend. They’ll be having their investor day very soon, and thinks they should cut the dividend. Probably a great buy between $15 and $20.
