Earnings Preview: General Electric

I think GE's greatest strength and weaknesses is in their higher levels of management. I have worked for them both as an employee and consultant. The businesses are great on accountability, metrics, efficiency, and other areas. More than any company I've consulted for, though, they have some of the biggest a__holes I've ever worked with...ever met...in my life. The talk a good talk about integrity, respect and so forth in the annual report and such. Working on the inside is a mixed bag. I've moved on. I should have fired them as a client many moons ago. It's these "soft issues" that trouble me more than ratios, industries, and other things. Thank God I didn't buy a bunch of stock last fall. Down what $15+???
