 GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt appeared on CNBC last week after PIMCO's Bill 
Gross made some scathing comments about GE's disclosure practices. 
When asked whether GE will be able to continue growing at double-
digit rates, he responded: "Think of the lunacy of that question."

You know, I don't think it's a loony question at all. I think it's a 
damn good one that any potential investor in GE ought to be asking.

Ge might drop in price, but don't bet your money on GE fall, this company know
how to survive, Mr. Immelt was the head of Ge Medical, one of the most cut
throat business that you can think off, and Ge medical in the last five years
has come to control more than 80% of the market, their digital Imaging system
has no equal, the other two Medical competitor are still trying to catch up,(
Siemens/Phillips).He became the head of Ge bypassing the head of Ge Capital and
that was not a small feat.

GE MUST sell NBC to get rid of the CNBC albatross.  While the bubble
was in full swing, it may have been an arguable part of the GE
business, but those days are over and are not coming back.

Clearly, nobody with half an ounce of sense watches the show.  They
would make more money putting on Martha Stewart or some shit like
that.
