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 on the industry, saying since it's inevitable anyway, we might as well embrace it and get ahead of the curve. GE is preparing for wind, nuclear, and any/every type of power they can provide. Plus, they're investing billions in emerging markets. GE is a hungry company. They are positioning themselves not only to remain a titan of industry, but to continue to grow greatly as well. Today's 10% drop marks an incredible buying opportunity.

You're impressed with a CEO, that in 7 years has not increased the PPS and is dealing arms and bomb parts to Iran? I'm not, and my company no longer purchases GE parts due to this illegal activity(IMHO). The Justice dept should be investigating them soon. O'Reily is correct, he is not very impressive - at all.

I agree, I have been buying GE for seven years and they have not let me down and I do not see them in the future changing the way they due business. GE is very good at looking to the future to see what the public will need in the coming years and they will continue to be there as other companies try to catch up with them. GE is a leader in the power and consumer field.
