Thank you, Dennis. Your tone on "don't fight the FEDS" is saying how lucky GE capital is. Ride with the FEDS' tide(lower interest rate trend). We appreciate the way you said it. Thank you, Jay. Your question is based on your philosophy of playing index investment(avaraging gains). GE is a long term investment if you based on 30 year appreciation. And all that dividends must be re-invested in GE without paying commissions(ask GE?). GE is a collection of the best top companies in their respective industries. As my father's philosophy goes; even if the business is in a down cycle, they should make money based on good management. Because of their size, GE is not a high flyer but steady performer which you can leave it with your family when they all grow up. So, index fund should be left as they are, but technology stock will go thru sudden technology direction change. We are in the middle of a convergence technology direction. Which will give us bigger and better economy. That economy will be worldwide(posted in ANTC thread). But retirement fund should have more GE type of stock(growth by population increase and dividends too).
