For GE the market better should not tank. The more equity deflates (in general) the worse will the huge debt load hit GE, in proportion.

I think at one point GE will be split up into several smaller entities and the divy will be cut. GE can not borrow itself into the 22nd century. Nearly 600B in debt and it was borrowing a lot in the last years and this was used to pay dividends and buy back stock.

On the other hand, GE could handsomely profit if it manages to roll over its debt at current low rates. It pays approx. 5% currently.
