GE, Microsoft on New Low List

I think we may be underestimating GE's infrastructure position, which transcends the "green" idea. They have fielded 9000 1.5MW windturbines at $3.3M per to date, and the order backlog is growing, but they also build world class gas turbines (series 7 and 9) for utilities, have arguably the best new reactor technology in the ESBWR and dominate the transportation market with aircraft engins, pipeline flow compressors, shipboard propulsion turbines and locomotives. The financing unit is synergistic in enabling the sales of the big ticket items, some of which exceed $100MM each. I think the household appliance business is on the way out and maybe aircraft leasing. I am starting a position here at $30-31, despite six sigma and the past mistakes.
