They fell by the wayside though, Wabi.

They’re selling their iconic light bulb business as well as their appliances business to the Chinese, along with several others at fire sale prices amounting to 20% of actual worth according to the articles.

GE hasn't made a lightbulb in 2 years.

GE - no more bulbs.

Just bought some LED flood lights from Walmart. 2 Packs Of 4 bulbs each.

Must have been leftovers but quite a few on the shelves of various types and sizes.

Perhaps just reinventing themselves Paul. You know, like trying to distance themselves from some of the things that have happened in the past.

Jack Welch was a hard act to follow but Immelt drove it into the dirt.

The financial unwinding of 2008 pretty much put the nails in the coffins of GE Capital.

Fu ck GE, they suck down government funding and pay zero in taxes.

But they are big on political campaign contributions.

Not even a question that this reorganization will allow for MORE government funding and even MORE tax breaks.

That's ZERO dollars

As in

ZERO $

Their focus on the energy sector was less than revealing probably meaning green energy, Batteries production, etc.

Maybe become as relevant as Bell and Howell tactical sunglasses and cheap security lights.

Getting kicked out of the DOW 30 and followed by a 8/1 reverse split says about as much.
