A very wise investor once told me that GE is a good proxy for the US markets, but with a dividend. An excellent barometer of US prospects, in other words. He was wrong. See the chart I link below. Very wise men are often wrong. GE has done much worse than the S&P in the recent past. On one hand, GE may be oversold, in which case Jay may have a - hairy - leg up. On the other, the downtrend may continue. Here is a chart with S&P, GE and QCOM shown. stockcharts.com I know a lot about QCOM but not much about GE. Wish I had bought loads and loads of Q when it was in the mid30s recently. Jay: Mq won the QCOM toaster. He'll be glad to elaborate.

hello maurice, per this Message 25233418 methodology, with reference to my post dated feb 27 2001 and given that we started our conversation about gold vs qcom the day before, here Message 15410107 when gold was at 267, and now at 762 qcom was at 61, and now at 30 qcom cost 0.23 oz of gold before, and now costs 0.04 oz representing a drubbing of 83% discount that can hardly be balanced by any conceivable wastrel dividend rate do you see the truth now? no? in which sorry case you still have too much to learn from the just bible
