"General Electric owes its creditors about half a trillion dollars, and has net assets of less than 20 billion dollars. GE spends 90% of its income just servicing its debts."

Hah!

I remember about 12 years ago, the pump and dump pimps were touting GE as "a massive cash generation machine" that was a no-brainer buy.
Thankfully, I got out a while back at $37.

That was very wise FRiend. GE has a share capitalization north of 150 billion, but in a universe untainted by massive Government intervention the shares would be worth precisely nothing.
