DON'T BUY

He would be very cautious on GE. The company has been an investment grade company for decades. Today it is a speculative company. You are not buying the GE of old. It is 70% debt to total capital and as a pension deficit of $95 million. Cash flow is unpredictable. They are now starting to sell of their good quality assets. This will reduce future cash flow.

DON'T BUY

In the past, this was a blue chip stock, but now is hitting hard times. Forget the past. It remains highly speculative, with high debt as they sell quality businesses, deal with a pension liability and many other problems. Avoid.

DON'T BUY

He is not investing in GE as it has fallen from grace in the past few years. A text book example of a value trap and a company that has taken on too much debt. If revenues fall, they will see free cash flow evaporate.

WATCH

Still on the sidelines. CEO is respected. Its engine business is being impacted with Boeing. Not sure what earnings and cash flow profile will be a year from now.

DON'T BUY

A tough one. They went from an investment-grade grade company to a speculative one. They've fallen into an abyss and are just now climbing out. They sold pieces of their portfolio for the sake of cash flow; they should have kept those piece.

DON'T BUY

They got over leveraged and had a dramatic fall from grace. He does not follow it and it does not match his criteria. Look for companies that increase their earnings and are adding shareholder value.

RISKY

A new CEO has helped to protect value. He owns this at $15.51 and should have sold this at $25 when Warren Buffet was selling. There are still problems and they are selling off segments. He thinks the CEO will improve things and could push the stock much higher.

DON'T BUY

The mistake people make is that they use past brands and labels. GE is not an investment grade company any longer. It is a speculative stock at this stage. There are thousands of companies that are better to look at.

WEAK BUY

They've stopped the bleeding and can now concentrate on their core businesses. You're now betting on the new CEO who has a good track record. GE will be volatile, but now is a good time to enter it or look at it. They may miss numbers for several quarters, so be prepared.

RISKY

The bad news is their power segment were down 30% and other segments earnings were down as well. They did raise free cash flow to $1 billion. He likes the CEO and thinks earnings could grow by 15%. A speculative buy at this time.

SELL

Just because you own it, doesn't mean you have to keep it. The wonderful thing about the market is that you don't have to finish the race on the same horse. Big risk is that you're looking at it as an investment grade company, whereas it's speculative grade right now.

WATCH

New CEO is well respected. Balance sheet issue. Wants better clarity a year from now as to what cash flow will be. She's watching it. Doesn't think it's going to zero.

DON'T BUY

There have been a lot of changes internally. They continue to divest assets, but at the end of the day there are still some key flushing that has to happen. Technically, you have not seen a bullish breakout yet. The fundamental thesis to get back in is not there yet either although they have had two consecutive earnings beats. There is more risk than return.

HOLD

Has been having issues for more than a couple years. They are doing significant restructuring, and trying to get more into their core business. It should help their balance sheet. Would continue to hold if you have it.

DON'T BUY

You have to understand what you are investing in. It is now a speculate opportunity. They are bleeding cash and selling off profitable operations. They have a big debt load. There are accounting irregularities.
