I'm with you Keith J. What would be a reason for buying/holding GE? Hold for the yield, now .48/19? Seems to me dividend has greater chance of being cut again than being increased in next couple years. Hold as reversion to mean? Company has been around over 100 years and so, maybe it'll recover and so will stock. Otoh, if it is true that company will sell several large assets, then how does one figure business overall will revert (increasing sales, increasing total revenue)? And so if I can't presume business will revert, how can I assume stock can revert (increase) from current levels? Maybe it's a story of you buy these great or once-great companies when they're on sale and you wait until they and the stock do better, which often or maybe usually happens. I just don't see it. (I almost never do though -lol). Given all other opportunities available, some of which you suggested, I just don't see placing a bet on the new guy at GE to bring things around in quick fashion (1-2 years) or longer.
