"I have the same concerns with respect to the finance arm of the company."

About 7 years ago, when I could still post at 'Value Investing', I expressed an opinion that GE should rather involve itself with the businesses that it knew best and move away from the Finance business.
I also thought that it wasn't good for shareholders in terms of what they could be paid as a Dividend without the "Finance arm", compared to what they were getting as a result of the "bottom line" that GE were then reporting which, in turn, contributed to that Dividend "payout".

"... if it's anywhere near as bad as the strongest critics claim, then they will find a way to spin it off or sell it off."

Should be interesting to see what GE's directors, especially Immelt, decide to do ....
