Just asking because I am in the same theory with GE. And it just ain't working. (Of course I did buy the 35 Puts as well as the stock) I might take the Puts off soon.

Their (GE) stock buyback program looks like a bust. The stock must be yielding close to 4%. This Real Estate mess is bringing down everyone with it.

Looking for long positions for a bear rally. GE has almost no shares short, less than 1/2 of one percent of the outstanding shares. Honeywell is a similar situation with ~1.4% shares short. I can't find any company I want to own long here, even for a trade, that has potential for a short squeeze. BZH (74%) and SPF (64%) have phenomenal short interest but the shorts there probably won't be squeezed very easily. Any ideas? edit: Fed just made an announcement that changes the game. I am SO happy to have covered Merril and Bear Stearns yesterday!
