General Electric: Genuine Risk of Collapse?
1. GE has been winning very large contracts in Turbine and energy sectors recently.
2. GE has access to the TARP funds and the government is supporting their use of commercial paper. This market will eventually open back up. Just takes time
3. GE is still profitable and growing their cash. Selling assets and issuing some stock has helped them increase their liquidity in time to support operations.
4. While a great many companies are struggling to borrow money, GE is now well capitalized despite the numbers shown above. With access to the Fed window and TARP, they will have no problem meeting short term debt obligations.
5. Stating that Buffet has made a huge mistake is quite a leap here. He is very long term minded and his record speaks for itself.
6. Panic in the markets always make for the best buying opportunities. This one is deep and serious but will eventually recover. GE is not going under here and $10 is a stretch. This is not AIG.
7. GE can trim operating costs in many ways and Jeff Imelt is doing the best he can in a very difficult environment. Jack Welsh for all his returns destroyed the environment with negligence and greed in many towns, cities and rivers during his tenor. Just ask the people living along the Hudson River. Can you say PCB's.
Dow 6k could happen but that would just make this a better bargain. My recommendation here is to buy some stock and take a PUT position to limit any future downside, or write covered calls to increase your total return.

Yes we will see rallies, and the smart patient investor will continue to buy at lower levels and sell into these rallies. however I do not see a strong return to growth in the stock market until 2017 at the earliest.

Banking Sector: Band-Aids Just Won't Do It
The government can bail out bad mortgage holders but the CEO's of banks and brokerages are getting away with murder. All the profits and bonuses that have been paid out under this system of unregulated greed infested system only line the pockets of a few at the top. The rest lose their jobs, their homes ,their life savings etc.
How do you lose BILLIONS of dollars, then get a bonus to leave the company.??? New CEO's come in to FIX the problem while thousands of hard working employees are laid off for short term savings.? How does this system work any better? Wipe out the common holders (AND TAKE AWAY THESE GOLDEN PARACHUTES) and start over

Second, VMW is wildly overvalued. They are trading at full value in 2011 prices. Bring VMW down to $25/share and you will have some value to purchase here.
