#1 Could get interesting...as a component of the Dow 30, could bring down some index fund/ETFs.

#2 Supporting write-offs like NBC and obamas fake energy policy will come back to bite you.

You have not brought good things to life since the 60's.

You are now a pariah and I will think you as such.

What do you think of them light bulbs?

#3 All that slavish simpering in support of The Won didn't buy any relief from the iron laws of the market. Rometty at IBM and Barra at GM are going to join Immelt in that sad club.

#4 That would be the GE who's Obama loving management got the Royal Decree issued to kill the old inexpensive light bulbs in order to force Americans to buy the more expensive substitutes with mercury in them?

#5 as a component of the Dow 30

I was reading something (probably Zero Hedge) that GE won't be part of the Dow 30 in the near future. It's a shithole company now, and like P2K, I will not forgive a company who helped kill off the incandescent light bulb. I still have a bunch of them, but holy mother of god, how fucking PC do you have to be to make a certain kind of light bulb illegal?

#6 Of course the whole goal was make it a government revenue stream for the disposal of all of those CF with mercury. Imagine, mercury has been banned and blacklisted for years and the environazis use it like crazy without consequence.

#7 Bought a GE dishwasher once, an oven too. Never again.

#8 GE's railroad locomotives put GM's Electromotive Division out of business, but now the GE locomotive business is up for sale. Supposedly, the locomotive business doesn't make 'enough' profit for GE.

#9 There is no such thing as 'enough' profit. Profits must grow to the sky, or else.
