High priced products require GE to have a financing division and they should carefully oversee risk but retain GE Capital!

I am not concerned about GE's Finance size, rather how well it manages their risk of the portfolio.

Investor concerns are well justified as this was the concern in 2008 which took the share price down to approximately $5.00 in early 2009. At that price, Inmmelt disclosed that he bought 500,000 shares so, watch insider trading very carefully, .it is an excellent indicator.

GE should divest the entire Capital operation and do their financing thru an independent operation. I have been usurped twice by GE Capital and abhor their operating policies..
