CAPS Rating:

A diversified industrial corporation whose products include major appliances; lighting products; industrial automation products etc. Its services include product services; electrical apparatus installation, engineering, and repair and rebuilding services.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

GE and Immelt impress me, although it is troubling they didn't give any forewarning of their declining quarter. Still, I recently read the WSJ's special on the "Green Energy Conference" they held, and Immelt's attitude was incredible. He was a leader calling for emmissions standards to be brought ...More

Yes, GE's a great company with a nice safe dividend. But Jack Welch squeezed most of the juice from GE over three decades, which has left it struggling for growth for five years now. Price fell from just over 60 to low/mid twenties after 9/11, at which time it was a great buy. Even last spring it wa...More

GE, it brings good things to life. They have their fingers in every pie and make the ovens to cook them in. Then build rocket ships so you can bring it to the Martians in the future. Diversification. They recommend it in your portfolio, GE takes that to their own company. What don't they make. So they are hurting in their financial departments, who isn't, but that is only one small piece of that huge pie that is GE. GEE, buy GE. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

Recs 0 (GE) MonoJojoy13 (28.18) Submitted: 5/12/08 11:03 AM : Start Price: $32.43 GE Score: -0.54 This company is in some hard times, but with a reasonable dividend (3.4ish%) and broad international exposure, this company makes a reasonable defensive play. Great exposure to green technology and energy ensures this stock will reap the rewards of a Democrat in the White House and Democratic control of Congress. Expect a little bit of pain as the global economy attempts to recover from the credit/solvency crunch. Beware the high Debt/Equity. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!
