General Electric Company (NYSE:GE)

They own everything. GE is a one stop shop for a diversified portfolio. Are they the highest flying growth stock? No. But they're steady (despite the past few years) and large enough to gobble up the growers.

Which do you bet on to grow bigger? The rising biscuits in the oven? I'm sticking with the fat kid watching it hungrily from outside.

Has long term debt but will slowly come back and is diversifying into other energy sources (wind)

GE will grow as the world economy continues to recover, while the U.S. Treasury rates remain low, and as the diverse industrial solutions that GE excells at providing grow: water purification, energy, jet and locomotive engines, advanced health care technology, solar and environmental technology.

Hoping GE will find itself again as an innovator in energy, infrastructure, and products.

Ditch the financial services of funny money and they can shine once again.

Investments in emerging markets that are poised for substantial growth (Latin America); Real Estate losses that are dragging down GE capital have slowed and are reversing - once (if they ever) real estate losses on GE Capital's books return to a normalized level, you're talking about more than a billion dollars a year more in Net Income without the business doing anything different. The sale of NBC to Comcast generated cash that should be put to use re-energizing the infrastructure side of the business, as Jeff Immelt looks to rely less on GE Capital's earnings moving forward.

major opportunity in japan, catching at the bottom here hopefully

Will benefit from rebuilding in Japan and expansion in the increased global demand from India and China in terms of physical necessities. Ecomangination line will benefit from increased environmental awareness in China

Big name, solid company that has years of experience under it's belt. This will be a long investment but it will pay off in the end. Saying GE will go under is like saying Walmart will go down. Not going to happen.

I've had 76% increase in just a couple of years. What's not to love?

Being sold off like they are liable for the nuclear plant mess in Japan.

Ge will meet or beat the market. They are starting to hit on all cylinders. The banking arm is getting it's act together.

The quintessential international conglomerate, GE has so many fingers in the pie they can't help but grab a big piece of it.

GE is a leader in the energy and infrastructure projects of tomorrow. With the CEO's new ties to the Obama administration, more government contracts may be forthcoming. While I don't expect share prices to rise back over $40/share any time soon, I wouldn't be surprised with a return to at least $30/share sometime within the next five years.

G.E. will continue to outperform due to the many products they make or cause to appear on the market..

It's GE :)

Good Dividend, Great Stability

A historic leader that had righted the troubled ship.

With the financial crisis GE found out how dependent they were on their financial division. They have scaled that branch back and put thought and innovation into their core business. New solar panels, led lighting, and wind turbines are just the start of the new GE. I believe immensely that with this new focus that they will become the largest revenue company in the world again and will pass up their pre-2000 pricing along with bringing back their dividends. If you get in now and let those dividends reinvest you will be looking at a solid winner over the next decade.

A core industrial of the past and future. If you believe in America's power to produce on a large scale and export to the world, look at GE.

GE is overstretched for management to handle - it is focussing in to manfacturing which is a good thing but bettinf off of the "GECC Drug".
