GE: Exceptional Total Return Potential at the Current Price

As a holder of GE, I have it setup on dividend reinvest -- and consider it my bond position. Granted, it may not double. But, as a relatively young investor with a long time frame, I'd rather own GE stock as my low risk investment than the 10 year bond. I am getting more than the 10 year treasury in a security that raises its dividend at a 11% rate -- put it on dividend re-invest and its a no brainer relative to bonds. Granted, I agree that there might be more attractive stocks. But, lets be sure to compare the risk adjusted return outlook for both securities. I love to go long leaps on securities for my risk --- but, for my safe investments, I'll hold GE all day long.
