Cutting the dividend to 1 cent was a very poor decision by Culp. All the retail investors have sold out and only the shorts are playing GE as we head into the next recession in 2019. There is no bottom limit as these speculators and quants have total... — read more
GE can reduce its debt to a more acceptable level by 2020?
I hope the UBS analyst sees something that I don’t, and that he turns out to be right, even though, with everything that’s happening, I find this hard to believe. One year is not a lot of time, and so far the only thing that we’ve seen from the... — read more

Got our official talking points today, what we are allowed to tell family and friends about how much we love GE and how great it all is. Have to admit, first time I have seen an email like that one. What happens if we slip up and admit the company is... — read more
Maybe Rice can turn Power into a money maker. He sure has enough financial incentive.
Last year, Rice was GE’s fifth highest-paid executive, behind former CEOs Jeff Immelt and John Flannery, former Chief Financial Officer Jeff Bornstein and former Vice Chair Beth Comstock. He earned $7.9 million in 2017, according to GE's most recent... — read more
Did John Rice get a large retirement package?
Did John Rice get a large retirement package and in less than a year is already back. Seems like that would be double dipping. Sure hope that is not the case. If that is the case, this would be another example of.......
Rice? Why not just bring back Thomas Alva????
really? rice is back to stir things up. he was weak when he was in charge of Power and then pushed to the lower business in favor of Krenicki. why bring him back now? and at what cost?

John Rice back from retirement
Watch out, power employees!!!
John Rice back from retirement to finish off GE Gas Power business
Between the shuffle of Strazik, Stokes, and Rice, who expects GE Power to actually turn around and succeed now? They might as well have said "all hands abandon ship."
Is the situation at GE Power going to produce a wave of mass layoffs?
GE Power remains in Major Trouble. 2019 is forecasted to be another down year as overall power products are in decline globally. Adding salt to the wound, GE has a reputation of producing flawed gas turbines in a market that it once dominated. GE has... — read more
Has any GE Leadership Program Candidate Fired/Laid off?
Never heard of any GE leadership program candidate getting laid off or fired? They either get promoted or move to lateral roles and leave their sh-- to be cleaned by others. Why is this? For some reason all these so called "leaders" know which... — read more
A small Request
I appreciate a good chuckle now and then as much as anyone. I understand that the General has earned a great deal of criticism, and frankly should not be allowed to skate by (like so many of its prior leaders) unpunished. However, given the full... — read more
On the verge of junk-bond status

Culp's response to breaking out Power P&Ls just proves poor systems
If systems and process were implemented and understood properly would be no reason to break the Power P&Ls. Unless of course it is getting to the inevitable of more business sales
Got a Feeling
