Earnings Preview: General Electric

Help me, OK? I'm wanting to buy GE now but I have been totally burned by poor choices for 5-plus years. I've seen so many sure-fire solid companies crash that I'm scared to buy anything. At least GE has a dividend, but for how long? The co does seem very diversified, and I generally agree they are on the cutting edge of many technologies, but that post about GM/GE has me spooked. Is GE simply too stodgy and slow to survive in an economy that changes overnight? Sensible advice would be appreciated since I'm almost broke. Thnaks.
