Nor has GE recovered from the Welch Effect.


GE today is worth about 2/3 of what it was when Welch left and that has only
happened in the last quarter.
Prior to that it was lucky to be worth 1/2 for the lat 5 years.


TMT doesn't let facts get in their way. GE stock was strong, then 9/11
happened, went into a slump for a while, and is now doing very well. At
40 now, I don't think it went below 28 or so though, so 3/4 rather than
half, yes.

Yeah Dave is never biased...LOL.

Did you notice Dave what happened to Jack at home when he tried to act
like he did in GE...he had his butt handed to him.

GE is a shadow of what it was because of Jack "The Joke" Welch.

Any idiot can rape and pillage a company that took decades to
build....such as Home Depot.
