For the record, I don't mind critical posts at all.

Wrong factors challenged though. To me the key is the balance sheet mismanagement, or at least my view of such. One can also challenge the acquisitions and aggressiveness of such. I do have a problem challenging a partner's delays, however.

Meanwhile, most of the pain here is sector-based, not individual. GDP is down 65% over last 3 years, FST 70%, SD 35%, ATPG 100%, all while MHR has more than doubled. Yes, MHR has halved over last 18 months though. But so has SD and the others. I have read that 80 to 90% of a stock's move is related to the market or sector, and only the rest is individual.

Place blame where it rests. The sector and its treatment by the Street. And yes, I do think GE has mismanaged the BS and too many acquisitions, positions I have stated here before, critically.
