As a independent stockholder in GE for a number of years I would like to inform you that GE has recently moved jobs from Mexico back to the U.S. You can download an annual report anytime to see what they are planning and what they have accomplished. Most recently they have decided to get out of the consumer credit business which I for one applauded. The stock is currently undervalued. It should be around $50 a share.

I think it's the H2 channel that has a series called The Making of America. It was very interesting to see how J.P. Morgan was involved in the development of the electrical grid in the Eastern seaboard (Niagara Falls plant). He essentially went with the A.C. of Tesla over the D.C. of Edison. He then bought up Edison-G.E. stock to completely take over General Electric. If you have a chance to watch #1 of this series, it's well worth it.

Everything else is, too bad he doesn't give credit to Bush for the good stuff, like killing Bil Laden, hell he barely gives the seals credit, he took the credit for that too.

Back in the eighties I was following a BN freight train through the Cascade mountains taking photos. The train was stopped outside the 8 mile Cascade tunnel, and I struck up a conversation with the crew as they waited for a westbound train to clear the tunnel. I commented on the new GE cabless locomotives in the consist to which the engineer said "GE Can't make a decent toaster, what makes them think they could build a locomotive? We burn one of these up with almost every trip over the hill!" Evidently they must have improved their quality as some years later GE overtook GM-EMD in selling the most locomotives.

Hell they even build engines for Boeing aircraft. (Airline customers choose what engines they want in their planes). It's unfortunate that GE is packing up and moving to China, but business' often move to the place with the best business environment, usually that means moving the headquarters to a different state, but in this case it's obviously off shore. Thank to a crappy economy, and unfriendly tax rates, they will go where the share holders will get the biggest return for their investment. The claim that it pays no federal income tax is disputed by GE. Moreover, aside from corporate income taxes, GE pays payroll taxes, state taxes and local taxes. So the assertion that GE pays “nothing – zero – in taxes” is simply inaccurate.

Agreed, it was a very informative series.
