  • Forget GE, These Are the Industrials Investors Should Consider Owning [View article]
    An important RED FLAG, and I own some GE!

    GE is financing their own customers and that is historically a red flag. Selling product, by financing customers, until the company plummets via debt is not new. Grant department store in the late 70s, recently Lucent, GM etc..

    Please note again that Buffet purchased preferred debt with an option for shares. He did not purchase additional GE itself (i.e. stock). The questions should be: Does their product line sell the financing or the other way around? What percent of total sales isn't financed?

    Of course I have no way of getting those answers. Do I?
