If I were a GE owner, I'd rather they used that buy-back money to increase the divvy even more... divvies are money in the bank, buy-backs are a bit hazier as they theoretically increase shareholder value, but I'd rather have that money in my acct., not theoretically adding value to the share price... but that's just me... plus, it would have sent an even stronger msg. about their divvy stance...
