GE

Its great for a short term stock pump. Just enough for the old C-class guys to cash it in and retire. Long term it takes away money from long term investment. People say Apple is too big/good to fail. See: Boeing, Intel, GE etc. They were also too big/good to fail. Eventually these company forget how to focus on the products and instead focus on the stock pumps.

This guy led GE Capital when it merged back into GE and tanked the stock from $150 -> $30.

It's wild every company sees the husk GE has become and say "oh oh that should be us"  We are watching every American business institution being looted and can't do anything about it.

It’s likely the stocks are held by the GE transfer agent, which seems to be equinti share owner services. If you receive mail from them, likely they have your address on file. Call equinti and have them send you instructions to access / create an online account. Once this is done you should find it easier to see your holdings. Afterwards you can transfer from equinti to a broker like Schwab or Robinhood, as equinti charges you fees while these brokers do not. It’s a

This was a super helpful response, thank you! My instinct is that I’d rather reinvest any dividends, especially because they usually aren’t that big. I want my money to make money and my worry about leaving these stocks alone is that over time they have only decreased. My goal would be to learn where and how to invest the DRIP. I’d probably leave some of our original investment with GE, but there are other companies I’d like to look into as well. Would you have any suggestions for how to access the stocks and get an idea of what I’m even looking at? I feel like utilizing the stock market needs its own dictionary, which is a whole other frustration haha

You will have a lot to learn if you want to keep investing. But all that aside as other have told you about GE. I believe the start to answering your question is to find out what broker is holding the account. If you have the statement from that check, you should have the name of the broker and the account number. You can contact them and see what the options are to either sell and cash out or to transfer to your own account. Start there. Contact the broker and ask them questions. I use Reddit a lot, but you will want advise direct from the broker on this one. Once you have your new account of the cash, then come back and see what people say to do with it if you want.

You are talking about sauce, and I was looking for it. [Sauce?](https://www.reddit.com/r/help/comments/critni/what_does_sauce_mean/) Let's make our homemade one to answer your question ahah * GE stocks: congrats, you own a portion of General Electric * 2 teaspoon of dividend: GE pays dividends (not all companies pay dividends) which means that they give you and other shareholders money each quarter (your $100 check!). The amount of dividend you receive depends on how many shares of GE you own. Currently, for each share of GE you own, you receive $0.28 as a dividend (!! GE can raise or cut their dividend based on how they are doing !!) * 1 ounce of DRIP: which stands for Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Instead of receiving dividends (your $100 check!), you can ask your bank or broker to automatically reinvest the dividends you receive to buy more shares of GE. This has two effects: you get less or no cash dividends, but your number of shares increases over time (that explains why you receive more dividends than your mom). With the $100 in dividends per quarter you receive, you could buy approximately 3.75 shares of GE per year (with current share price at around 160$ : (100$\*4) / 160$). Regarding what to do next, I will sit down and think: Do you need or want to keep the $100 check or do you prefer share price appreciation (by investing in another stock but no share appreciation guaranteed here)? * If yes, then don't change anything because my bet is you have a really high dividend yield (which you can calculate by dividing: annual dividend received / share price when you bought). I would guess it to be around 8%, so it will be difficult to find anything better in terms of dividends. * If no, you can sell and go with shares that are likely to increase over time. I would suggest to read and learn more about the stock market before reinvesting that money. In any case, don't rush; take your time to decide. Also, be cautious with any bank or financial advisors because most of them are paid based on commission or some products they are pushing to you. Hope it helps - You got the sauce now! :)

AmaroisKing

Also bear in mind that GE has spun off divisions and restructured many times , so you may be entitled to a lot more.

stickman07738

If the shares are registered in GE DRIP (dividend reinvestment program) - you dividends have been re-invested over the years and you have more share now. GE over the last 2+ have spun off it medical (GEHC) and power (GEV) division to which you got shares in the spin-off companies. I suspect the $100 was for partial share not convert. I recommend you contact [GE Shareholder Services](https://www.ge.com/investor-relations/shareholder-services) to find out the number of shares you have in each entity and their value and then make decisions.

Fenderstratguy

Look back at who the dominant companies were decades ago - Enron, GE, Cisco Systems, AIG, Exxon. The top dogs always get replaced over time. https://www.finhacker.cz/top-20-sp-500-companies-by-market-cap/#2020

Necessary_Western_57

Haha damn maybe i should have kept that option play going. GE - 165 and rising. Def hitting 180 in the next month or 2 😂

HauntingArtichoke830

My day to day strategy: don’t keep more than 20% of my options positions overnight. Usually just 10%. In the morning take put positions prioritizing the stocks on my list that may have had an overnight spike (for example this morning I took profit on my Coupang put that I held over the weekend that dropped 1% and switched it to puts on GE which had a sizable spike). Do the same with calls (took profit on my QQQ call and switched some over to Meta)

Selicious1908

lol I’m currently holding GE calls for Friday, they have printed me some good tendies since their drop from 174 to 134, I got it around 140

RTiger

The wheel is a good strategy. The risk is that the blue chip turns into a cow chip. This happens more often than investors believe it will.  Any number of examples exist. IBM and GE were two of the bluest chips back in the day. Then they weren’t. GE has come back of late. IBM has never seen a return to glory. I rarely see any Reddit threads on big blue.  A relative has been holding Intel for many moons. When he bought it was a premier blue chip stock   It’s been over a decade since it’s been relevant to most option traders.  Yes the wheel means slightly less downside than buying shares. However if the stock has a huge bull move, the wheel profits are paltry compared to shares. 

HauntingArtichoke830

Nah, GE is far more overpriced than Carvana

Holy shit, and with declining earning. You win, Hyatt is worse stock than GE and I’m buying puts tomorrow

annon8595

Yep there is a big difference between wall street being emotional vs a company being ran by Jack Welch MBAs who dont have a single clue about the product that the company is making and only focus on gutting the company for stock buybacks. GE, Boeing, Intel really figured out how easy it is to turn subsidies/breaks into stockbuy backs.

Ghost_Pains

GE is just going to go up forever isn’t it

peter-doubt

My favorite episode was a one-off... 2007-2008 market slump had me holding cash, waiting for something instead of regular monthly contributions. When GM declared bankruptcy, I looked at their competitors.. only Ford looked "investable", so I piled 50% of my cash in.. at $1.80. the rest went to GE, because if they were in trouble, the whole country was. I tripled on GE, and got a 7x return on Ford. **Look for general distress and shop the competitors.** And learn to WAIT

Derby_UK_824

Start early Dividends and reinvesting Focus on a core group of companies you are genuinely interested in to fully research (ie if you have an interest in aerospace it’s much easier to research Boeing, GE, RR, airbus etc) - but don’t just buy companies as you are interested in them

Trade-Runner

Your thesis makes sense, but never underestimate the incompetence of former GE guys. They leave a trail of destruction and failure anywhere they go.

TigerBarFly

Should have bought boatloads more GE when it was $4/share it’s certainly not a perfect company but it seemed like a dead ringer when it bottomed out in the pandemic. Anyhow hind sight is 20/20.

Gwelfhammer

Mine is GE!!

ThanklessWaterHeater

Because I now manage a family trust, a lot of the investments in my accounts were purchased in the 70s and 80s. My mother invested in a lot of blue chips back then, and then would invest the dividends into less known up-and-comers. The old school blue chips she bought—think DuPont, GE, MMM—had a good run back then but are mostly duds these days. But some of the then-smaller companies she invested in—Amgen, Regeneron, Lilly, Ross Stores, Becton Dickinson—have grown to dwarf them. I have to say, her strategy has worked pretty well over the decades; as far as I can tell she more than doubled the S&P’s performance.

kingofthesofas

It's not that big tech is actually that amazing it's that compared to the absolute shit show that is more American corporations and leadership they look good. Go look at Boeing, GE, Ford or really any big American company. All run by a bunch of spoon up their arse, ivy League empty suits that worship six sigma and have never built a dang thing in their life and only know how to maximize short term profits. Big tech isn't amazing but by comparison most of the employees that matter like engineers, designers and tech workers are very sharp and the leadership is made up of people that actually know how to code or engineer etc. that's a big reason why Amazon kills it in so many sectors.

Desmater

I use to think like that and bought under $40 right around when Pat became CEO. But sold around the first quarter when their FCF went negative for a profit. Was going for the long haul 5-10 year hold too. They will probably never catch up to Samsung let alone TSMC. They need new management, not just CEO. Like new board, full new C suite like BA Boeing does too. Need engineers, Master and PhD holders in there. Intel just got too complacent and used tactics to just keep drifting and not innovating. Reason why AMD came back from $2 a share to now. Reminds me of the stories you hear about Microsoft doing shady sales tactics against competitors. Like Intel teaming with Dell and etc. To keep AMD out. TLDR: Will they pull a GE or a MSFT with Satya replacing Ballmer.

LaMouth

I got GE calls and I'm praying for a good one 🙏

sevillada

I think they took a page out of GE's book: massage the numbers until they work out GE,  however, learned that eventually the music stops and you gotta pay the price.

cjorgensen

People bought MCI and Enron all the way down. GE was a great deal for decades. HP, IBM, etc. Even the market itself has crashed a time or two.

achentuate

They aren’t awful. Quite the opposite. I literally said they’re a great company for the shareholder. I’m a big fan and shareholder myself. You can be a great company without furthering innovation constantly. They have a huge monopoly with windows and office products which isn’t going away any time soon. Azure will succeed even if second to AWS as there are tons of old companies completely bought into the Microsoft family of products and can’t migrate away anytime soon. They don’t burn money chasing innovation and with Satyas restructuring, their top brass is top notch when it comes to strategically investing money and limiting wastage. If they paid their engineers as much as Meta, they wouldn’t print money and would half their valuation overnight. Someone brought up GE as a comparison which is a good one. The only negative I see is that without meaningful innovation, their competitors can chip away at that monopoly in 10+ year horizons. In the last 10 years for example, windows went from 90% market share to 50% as Mac OS and MacBooks invented a better product.

houleskis

All true. Still a juggernaut. Azure, while no AWS is still a top 3 cloud provider. Windows + Office is effectively a monopoly. Xbox for the consumer gaming market. PC for the consumer hardware market. Top tier investments in AI. Etc etc Yeh they aren't the most innovative in house, but they have diversity, market leading positions and are effectively a SaaS cash machine. They are the modern GE.

GE said you're lying

solidsneeze

GE have any momentum left?

Such_Coin

Ok not sure when you looked, but today that option is worth about $3.75- so it has lost about 50% of its value. Generally speaking buying a far out of the money option like this is not considered a great strategy. You wouldn’t get anything back when the price hits 190. In fact, if the option expires when GE is 190, you will have lost $6.77 (assuming that is what you paid) your break even is $190 plus 6.77 or $197.77.

Takeoff_V1

So far its down 2% today around $159. If you must buy it, buy a $160 or even ITM at $158 Call for the next month or two, but try avoid out of the money call like $168. Why GE, if you don't mind me asking.

New-Professional-746

Well it’s a real significant jump in the price? What did the history of GE look like? When is the expiration date and is it. Ear an earnings call? To much to tell give the limited information you provided but I think yours will end up useless…sorry it’s just the jump and the current markets down mentality doesn’t bode well to get past the 677.00 mark but you could get lucky.

320th-Century

“Boomer” stocks have been on a roll. GE, GM, T, and surprisingly BA.

mrmcmonnies

I see the appeal of buying a GE Call since it is in a strong uptrend. However GE does not have enough volatility to warrant a single long option. Consider a cover call or diagonal instead. I know I'm not answering your question, but I just don't want you to loose money.

Takeoff_V1

In options, time is the number one enemy. GE getting to $190 by October is not something I would put my money on. You make the most money in options when the strike price is hit quickly. If GE hits $190 on October 1st more than likely you will be barely breaking even. If you must, purchase an option in the money, however, GE has went up too much especially after the recent earnings, I would advise to wait for a pullback before buying.

calculatedimpulse

(a) Tesla has been profitable and has industry leading margins (b) have you even driven a tesla or tried FSD? did you even listen to the earnings call? tsla is expecting YoY *growth* while rest of ev automakers have declining sales. GE is paying tesla for their FSD. Model 2 @ $25k price point is expected to begin production next year you’re stubborn, brainwashed or dumb

Rand-Seagull96734

In the steady state 10 years from now, EV makers would largely be good automakers with low margins, just like the ICE world. The question is whether some of these EV makers, and others, would have created some well adopted "platforms" for others. The Chinese (CATL, BYD) have a huge lead on LFP battery packs, Tesla has a huge jump on the charging network, who will have a differentiated brand in mid and high tiers (not clear yet, Rivian has ingredients), driver assist tech (not clear, robotaxis is hyped but in limited cases, Waymo and Tesla have a chance), etc. The larger renewables market should be played the same way for growth opportunities: not the utilities or installers, but platform makers: solar modules like Solaredge, micro inverter makers like Enphase, wind tech like GE Vernova, etc.

I made hundreds of millions flipping things on the GE. No way real life doesn't have the same patterns and trends. In fact, if I remember correctly, some guy did his graduate thesis (in Accounting or similar field) on the Runescape Grand Exchange. I haven't been in the market too long but I already see the similarities; real life just has more variables to price in.

MagnesiumKitten

you need to have the shares when you're on Musk's colony on Neptune! man it almost makes you feel a touch more confident in General Electric when did they change their name to GE Aerospace? seems they only have two divisions left, stripping everything that wasn't profitable enough till they had nothing left but aircraft engines and power. I think Welch did everything good for the short-term and killed it long term. Howard Hughes did the opposite he would have 1000 projects and 3 would pay for the other 997 research stuff

Dumped 200k into GE for earnings play

No_Communication8613

Yep, shares of GE have really retained their value since 2000, right? People who held on to shares GM until the government bailed them out were rewarded, right? What are you talking about? You should always move your money as the market shifts and times change. Just because things you have lost value doesn't mean all things have lost value. The only thing that indicates is that you made a mistake. I have plenty of investments that have steady growth. Last year, VRT traded at $12 and its near 80 now. And it didn't shoot up overnight. It has been a slow steady growth. I am sorry that you haven't learned more about technology and you don't really know what businesses are growing. But company's fall all the time and new one's take their place at the top. GE, GM. Sears, and US Steel couldn't stay on top. Why would you think your investments would always retain their value? Why would your picks be different? Stagflation, nope, just a bear market. And new players will emerge on top.

What GE doing?

CommiePoopPantsMickB

I’m 100% serious. I loaded up in Q1 2020 at around $135, sold one year later at $255. Loaded up again at dollar cost of $140 between June-Sept 2022, got stopped out at $235 this January after the Alaska incident. This is just the data, check the chart history if you must. You just missed it. And you’ll miss it again. As for the fundamentals, record backlog and free cash flow generation in 2025. Despite the negative headlines Boeing have had virtually no cancelled orders. They are a duopoly and too big to fail. You can churlish about the game being rigged but it is what it is. I’ll bet you missed GE as well right? Probably had the same attitude in Q4 ‘22 and missed 3x on that one too huh? What industrials do you like? Or is FAANG and crypto more your thang?
