Regarding GE: Everyone looking at GE as an attractive investment just because it's down is in danger. I can see the judgement for wanting in on GE: 13th largest Fortune 500 company in America in 2017. Stock is going for a cheaper price which means that it's less riskier (As we've been taught). 5.36% dividend. It's popularity within the stock market means that, in my view at least, it will recover to somewhat of an extent. However, looking at it's financial strength I don't like what I see. It's 9.77B Net Income in 2016 and 284.67B in Total Liabilities in 2016 is what alarms me. The current management is going to take approx. 29 years to pay off all liabilities at this rate? No thanks. Also the fact that it doesn't come up on my screen of stocks with 12% or above ROIC, ROE, ROA. Don't get me wrong people might start investing again in GE when the storm blows over but to me this is not an attractive investment just because it's down.
