GE as a Future Microsoft Growth Model RE:"Check out General Electric (NYSE:GE). Last I checked, their business was as diverse as everything from credit cards to washing machines." Good Point, Dwight: By the time the DOJ intensive investigation era ends (est. 2 yrs.), Microsoft may have begun to remodel itself along the lines of growth company General Electric, and eventually sport a similar PE on increased earnings. HR PS: Please note that the sales success of GE's individual product lines do not depend on a monopoly in some other market place. GE washing machines compete with other brands in the washing machine market, not in the credit card finance market. GE jet engines compete with other manufacturer's jet engines head-on in the jet engine market, etc. By the way, didn't some of GECC's (General Electric Credit Corporation) practices come under regulator scrutiny some years back? In any event, I'm pretty sure it did not involve GECC refusing to provide financing to its customers for non-GE products in deference to its own products. HR
