General Electric, Berkshire Hathaway: Winners in a Losing Market

I agree with the author but will add a different take as well on GE. I also like GE particularly due to their emphasis on "green" energy sources and solutions. Externally, companies of all types are increasingly under scrutiny for their social corporate responsibility and environmental practices and commitments. Internally, companies are facing increasing pressures for cost cutting and enhanced energy efficiency is also a major step in this direction. GE has been a pioneer in this area and will help companies facilitate technical and process advancements. GE is also present in the defense sector which is not going away either.
