  • GE: Lose AAA Rating or Cut Dividend [View article]
    GE's competitive advantage is that it is so big that it can attract low-cost AAA capital and finance its customers at rates lower than any smaller competitor could match. That is the foundation of the company's success.

    If shareholders force management to sell this competitive advantage just to maintain a 7% dividend in one particular year, then this value-destroying decision and the subsequent decline of GE will be studied in business textbooks for years.
