How honest with stock buyers was GE -CEO? He told the business news station owned by GE, MS NBC, in an interview, that the cash flow of GE was strong and a dividend reduction was not necessary. Three weeks later GE cuts the dividend. Gerry L In this case the CEO had total control over them for many years. Why does no one ask about prosecution for bidding the stock up? If Bill Gates had done the same thing the media would want him crusified. The GM CEO is on the Obama staff, is this why?

why can't you just buy stocks with dividends and leave them to children and make them wealthy? Why can't I buy companies stock like GE and acculmulte throughout my life and leave it to my children?

Is GE a good company to invest in with a DRIP? I was looking to start investing and a DRIP plan sounds good to me. GE is a large diversified conglomerate that isn't likely to fall apart anytime soon.

Should 2 investors be willing to pay same prices for GE's stock? Two investors are evaluating GE's stock for possible purchase. They agree on the expected value of D1 and also on the expected furture dividend growth rate. They also agree on the riskiness of the stock. However, one investor normally holds stocks for 2 yrs, while the other holds stocks for 10 yrs. Should they both be willing to pay the same price for GE's stock?

Is there as added benefit to owning a certain amount of a dividend paying company? I am not sure how exactly to ask this. Is there an added benefit to owning enough shares of a dividend paying company so that each quarter I get enough that another share or more can be reinvested? Therefore every quarter I have one or more additional shares and therefore am guaranteed to always make more in dividends. I can't figure out the math. FYI I currently receive about 36.00 in dividends from GE quarterly and can therefore reinvest around 2 shares a quarter.

GE vs Si ( General electric vs Siemenes) stock wise, to buy? Should I buy General electric or siemenes? GE has a greater dividend and has gained more growth than siemenes over 1995-2004. Although siemens 52 week high is over $50.00 than the price it is at right now. ( GE's 52 week high is about $10 higher than the price right now.

I already have stocks in ford, Ge, walmart, and Mcdonalds. I plan to keep these stocks for a long long time, as Im only 23 and am investing for later on in life.

Can Buffet lose money in GE? Warren Buffet has invested $3 bill. in GE. He gets 10% dividend for preferred stocks, which is callable by GE at 10% premium. I was wondering whether there exist a scenario(except bankruptcy of GE) whereby Buffet can lose his money? Divident is guaranteed, and even if GE calls the warrant, he will get atleast $3.3 billion. Then why didn't GE finance this through some other cheaper means? Also where is the risk for Warren?

Why does the media act as if Warren Buffett has lost money on his investments in GE and Goldman Sachs? He's sitting on his ass collecting 10% dividend, that is callable at a 10% premium. The warrants are worthless at present value, but that DOES NOT mean HE LOST MONEY. He does not have to use them. But the media acts as if Buffett is down 2B in each investment..such blatant lieing. I swear, people do not understand 1) real loss vs. 2) opportunity cost

Is GE (General Electric) a safe long term stock investment? I know GE is down to 11 bucks a share from like 40, but they are incapable of "failing" correct? So if i would buy buy stock and sit on it for about 3 years it would go back up when the economy does? (p.s the dividend is also really good... so it would be a good stock?) if not, what would be a safe(er) stock to invest in?

If you are holding a stock when do you get out? I am beginning to think that you should buy stocks that pay high dividends. I am taking GE for instance, look at the 10 year chart, basically flat. I am beginning to think about QQQQ and SFINX both holds all of the component securities of the Nasdaq-100 Index (the Index). But even then look how the Nasdaq has hovered on the 2000 mark for how many years now. What is the best way?

Do you think GE will cut their dividend in 2009? just curious

Why is GE, General Electric stock out of favor? Its a great Company, lots of diversity! $11.6 B stock buy back comming in the next two years. Dividend at 3% just increased by 20%. What is up?

Why does GE stock lag? GE just lags, but I don't see why. They're back to making money. Their businesses have recovered. I don't mind that the price is low, as the dividends are buying more at a cheaper price, but I don't know why it remains at the $20 forever.

if GE was a recommended stock what would be some important criteria in support of that selection to look into? besides the normal pay out dividend are there other valid reasons for why GE would be a good stock to recommend to investors

General Electric Co. GE. Stock Question???? Hard Question, Requires Reaserch!!! Thanks!!? Wow, I love yahoo answers for its powerful ability to answer my hard questions. Thanks to everyone who answers. Peace. I need to know the exact year General Electric Co. had their IPO. By what percent has the stock risen since then. My grandmother invested $10,000 into GE when they first had their IPO. I was just wondering, how much would she have now. She reinvested all her dividends, and stuck with the company. Where did GE first operate, out of what city and town. Can anyone tell me what $1 invested in GE at their inception would be worth today??? Should we invest in GE. Will GE's solar energy division help the stock out in the near future, what do you think???? Thank you so very much for taking the time to read this.

Reporter Nails Reid: 'GE Paid No Taxes...Isn't that a Bigger Deal than Romney's Tax Returns? When the Democrats controlled both Houses in congress and the White House nothing was done on...I don't think any suggestions that capital gains tax rates or dividend tax rates be increased. Why should we be taking this "Buffett Rule" seriously now?

Is GE a growth stock or income stock? I have to pitch a stock to my econ teacher for an end of the semester product. My question is what kind of stock it is. It pays a ten cent dividend, which could make it an income stock, but the amount is so little that it's not very viable as an income stock. It trades between 10.50 and around 19.92, so i'm not really sure if that's enough jump to play around with or not.

How are dividends done when it comes to ETFs? For example SPY? I've been wondering something. How are dividends paid when you own shares in an ETF? For example lets use SPY. It includes companies like GE, Exxon, etc.. Say you own 10 shares in the ETF. Exactly what would the dividend look like quarterly? This isn't a homework problem or anything. I know it might seem like that but it's just something I'm curious about. I haven't come across anything that really addresses this. I understand how it would work in regards to a single stock but not so much with ETFs. Would you receive dividends from the companies in the ETF or simply just the ETF? In that it would be just like as if you owned a single stock of something? If that is the case (if would be as if you owned just a single stock), and you aren't worried about so much growth and diversity but dividends, would it be better to own individual stocks instead of an ETF? Thanks Thanks. Won't you get hit with a lot of taxes if you reinvest the dividends over and over like that outside of a tax-sheltered account though?

Where do the dividends go from the stock I bought? I recently bought JNJ, WFC, BAC, GOOG, and GE. I set up a brokerage account at Banc of America and so I do it through the Bank of America website, which is where I have my checking account. When I bought the stock, it didn't ask me where I wanted the dividends to go. When I set up the brokerage account, it made me set up a mutual fund which is where I keep funds that I plan to invest in stocks but haven't yet. Is this where the dividends automatically go? Do they go in different places depending on the stock? I'd like to know where the dividends automatically go if I haven't specified anything and just bought some stock.

OPINIONS PLEASE!!! At what stock price do you think GE will begin to pay out on their dividend or do you think? that this is more of a time issue....like when things calm down further. THANKS!!!

Is GE under $30 a share a good deal? I currently own 84 shares and plan to purchase 50 more. I see great lon gterm potential with GE. They got in early in alterntative energy and pay a good dividend.

What is your opinion on Dividend stocks? I want to reinvest the dividend of one or multiple stocks. How do you pick a dividend stock that will be good in 30-60 years? Should I invest in one good company for the long run or get out of the stock every few years when it is up, then reinvest when it is low? These decisions will determine things way down the line for me. I have looked at AT&T and GE and Verizon.

Would you buy GE stock right now? They have been battered because of their beta, i feel like people are overreacting. I know they just cut there dividend but this doesnt bother me. What do you think?

GE stock is at 18.96 a share. Dividend is now 6.20%. Good time to buy it for the long run in a DRIP?

Are banks the 4th branch of government? With the federal reserve sitting out there, controlling policy, controlling the pulse of America, should we not regulate it more? It can be made to doo good for the people. Not favors. It should be investing in good things like solar energy projects. Solyndra needs just a little more funding to pay off big dividends. Even as it goes bankrupt, its still worth a lot of money. What about good things like when wind energy was funded. GE produces products it sells world wide and is a good example of how it works.

Could major US corporations profit without outsourcing? Take GE for example. Could they still give good dividends to their shareholders if they kept every job domestically? How about the computer/ electronic companies who outsource. Could they still offer you a laptop at a reasonable price. Here's another twist: Many of the union pension funds do receive dividends from overseas profits. What if you take that away? and by the way, we can try to legally force companies to keep every job in America. Then their stocks will lose value, and investors will take their money elsewhere, so those companies will end up downsizing.

When Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said the 4-1/2-year war effort was "finally paying dividends" Was he referring to his stocks in GE, Northrop, General Dynamics and Haliburton?

why can't you just buy stocks with dividends and leave them to children and make them wealthy? Why can't I buy companies stock like GE and acculmulte throughout my life and leave it to my children? Allowing them to live off the dividends alone and create a wealth for all future generations (assuming GE will never dissappear), why wouldn't this work?

How to invest for Income at 61? I have a friend who is 61, she has about 30K to invest and will eventualy sell her primary residence and down size. That will free up about 150 to 200 thousand for her to invest. She will need these funds to generate income for living expenses. I am wondering what is the best option for her? 1. CDs 2. Mutual Funds 3. Bonds 4. Immediate Annuity 5. Dividend producing blue chips (WMT, GE, MSFT, BAC, et..) Should it be a combination of the above.

How do I report 1099-DIV income for a minor? I am doing my brother's taxes. He has a 6 year old daughter who receives $100 of GE stock for her birthday each year. She received dividend income of about $40 in 2008. Do I need to file a tax return for her or can I just include it on her parents' return? The account is in the little girl's name, however her parents are listed as custodians on the account.

Choosing between GE vs NOKIA vs 3M? Hello everyone over the past month or so i have been looking at a ton of companies to find one that is undervalued, market cap in billions, dividend yield, low pe, peg below 1, above 3 star s and p rating, below 1.6 beta, etc, just a good undervalued company that is not a small or micro cap company. I have come up with Ge, Nokia and 3m, I know GE has a ton of debt but look at its share price, Nokia is good all around, and 3m is a little risky. Im moving towards GE, Nokia looks promising although 3m looks like a great investment. 3m is at the bottom of my list. Tell me what you think. Thanks, t Ok, I have narrowed it down to GE, and 3M, I am investing under 1k, so lets hope 3ms, high share price falls on it. Thats my only problem, GE is 1/3 its 52 week high price, while 3m is not even half. this is annnoying me. I am going to end up going with GE. Also 3m's p/e is almost double GE's

How can AIG shareholders allow the paying of dividends when they still own federal debt? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090807/ap_on_bi_ge/us_earns_aig;_ylt=AigrphcXaRS682eQVIQvgpjCw5R4;_ylu=X3oDMTJmdHQ5OTFzBGFzc2V0A2FwLzIwMDkwODA3L3VzX2Vhcm5zX2FpZwRjcG9zAzEEcG9zAzEEc2VjA3luX3RvcF9zdG9yaWVzBHNsawNhaWdyZXBvcnRzMnE- When Lee Iaccoca salvaged Chrysler, he came through with his promise that NO ONE got a dime until the federal loan was paid back in full (which by the way included a profit for the government). Yet AIG, who went begging for YOUR money at the steps of the House, is now paying over $2/share even though they still havent paid back their part of the bailout? Isnt anyone getting sick of this raping of America bulllshit yet????? Toonces thats what I understood as well. Scott thats exactly my point, how can you accpet money that was made on the backs of the American public before your dept is paid off? Thats out right fiscal RAPE. Disco of course it was.

This British word “aught” means zero and does not appeal to Americans.

A question about fractional shares? Lets say that I have 100 shares of say, GE, and sign up for a dividend reinvestment program and receive fractional shares, and my total shares are now, say, 102.3 shares. When it comes time for my NEXT dividend payment in 3 months, am I going to receive a dividend on my fractional shares too? For example, am I going to get dividends (that are reinvested) for 102 shares, or am I going to get dividends (that are reivnested) for all 102.3 shares? In other words, are fractional shares eligible for dividends and DRIPs? Thanks.

What exactly are stocks? When I go in and purchase a hundred shares of GE, I know I am paying for 100 pieces of the company. But what I've never understood... when I buy them, say through etrade, am I buying them directly from the company... or is someone somewhere else selling theirs to me directly? I've never understood the process... and secondly... if a company like GE has to pay a dividend, how does it benefit them to have people buy so many billions of shares of their stock? It seems like it costs them more in the long run

How much to invest in stock? Hi, I am 18 years old and want to invest in stock. I decided I am going to pick GE. It pays dividends and is a strong choice in my opinion. The problem is I don't know how much to invest. I have 4 grand right now and only work in the summer. I pay $120 car payment and 58ish car insurance every month. That about my only expenses besides money for fun stuff. I am going to college in fall of 09. To add to these expenses. I am going on spring break, and senior trip which is all my own money but I need to know how much to invest. I originally thought $200 but now I think I should invest more to make it worth it. Right now I just want to try it because I have never done it before, but im also in it to make money. So how high should I go? Any thoughts? So now i have thinking to invest $500, I can't see where I'm gonna go wrong with GE. $500 will allow me to get my own account rather than use my friends account plus I will actually see decent returns with $500. Any new thoughts?
