True johnd, GE does have a high valuation, and I wouldn't put my money there at that price and in the current market. However, after 100 years, GE is still running its operations with a focus on maximizing shareholder value, rather than illegally protecting and leveraging monopolies. When GE purchases a company, it's because they see potential for profitable enterprise, not because they want to squelch promising innovation or squash new markets. And of course millions of users of GE's products aren't running around complaining that GE is an Evil Empire with badly made products. If there were, GE would not have survived for 100 years. Oh yeah, and GE's motto is "We bring good things to life," rather than "We will cut off your air supply."
