Do you buy the GE buyout idea?

Not for a moment. I must admit, I have not examined the possible synergies between the two companies, but on face value I fail to see the value such a takeover would be to GE. Maybe I'm missing something here, but GE is very good at what it does, and has been in the business of making very strategically sound acquisitions. I do not think BA would be of such character.

In fact, I'd rather BA buy someone else like a satellite services company. However, for the time being, BA has enough trouble under its own roof to worry about. Getting into another business would be a poorly timed exercise. Long-term though I could see it happen. GE buying BA, I would be shocked. I am a GE shareholder too.

later,
geoff
