On General Electric

I have a lot of clients with legacy positions in General Electric. So I'm going to do a piece which I hope to publish over the weekend on GE. I thought I'd do some additional work on this after I saw this piece today over @ 24/7 Wall Street. I've not linked it because this is the whole thing. But you can read 24/7 daily here: http://www.247wallst.com/ {It's free!}.

GE's (GE) Immelt Says Economy As Bad As Early 70s, Maybe Worse

It is worth noting when the head of the world's largest conglomerate comments on how bad the economy. Jeff Immelt made some grim comments this morning. They speak for themselves.
According to Reuters, "The U.S. economy is in its worst shape since the deep recession of 1974 and 1975, and if it deteriorates further the most meaningful comparisons will be to the Great Depression, General Electric Co (GE.N) Chief Executive Jeff Immelt said."
