What are the odds that someone like Lockheed will buy the aviation piece? I’m guessing that GE will evaporate totally within 5 years.

GE was once a fine company (similar to AT&T which is also horrible now) until they drew a string of very bad management.

Yes, both are holders of huge portions of government business.

Both had lots of patents for valuable inventions. Both now live on connections and not innovation.

Smart move.
Buy recommendation.

Patriots will return and GE sees this as an inevitability.
They are dividing there woke sectors of operation.

I think GE recently did a 8-1 reverse split in order to stay listed.

A once giant has fallen. Bad management, but not as bad as the management we have in government.

GE laid me off to send my job to India in 2001, just before 9/11. I was unemployed for six months.

A couple months after I started my new job, I got a call from GE wondering where my source code was. I said, "Hey, your CM system was down and you gave me 1 hour to pack up my stuff before you escorted me out of the building like I was a criminal. My source code was on my computer just like I told my boss during my exit interview." They replied, "Oh, we re-cored that machine long ago." I said, "Too bad for you!" LOL

Have not knowingly bought a thing made by GE since. Absolutely agree that Jeff Immelt was a disaster.

Events like this are a clear rebuke to Marxist theory.

Marx believed that companies would buy each other and capitalism would collapse once there were only a few giant monopolies.

GE shows that capitalism works. Bad companies die and get broken up just as fast as new ones are born.

I worked in the R&D center years ago. Also visited there R&D center when working at a computer company for a innovative product they had.

Later one I went to work at Ericson GE. They management was a good ole boys network. Not surprised to see they go down and break up.

People were not awarded on the contributions. They were rewarded if they were in the inner circles. Sometimes they wanted to stick to old technology. Best thing I did was to leave them and work a places where they reward contributions. Salary has tripled.
