| I kept the 5% annual growth of earnings and revenue, but lowered the low PE to 6. It still shows a healthy annual return so I am adding to my position. |

Hey Robert,
Is there a way to tell if the dividend fo GE is relatively secure? The yield for this stock is currently around 9.5%. Can I look at Net Income, Cash Flow etc to get a feel for future dividends. I have considered buying stocks in the past for the yield, only to see the dividend cut or eliminated. (Although, if GE cut it's dividend in 1/2, the yield would still be 4.5% which is good in the current market.)

| Pat, I think in this environment that any dividend, including GE’s, is subject to cuts. I would rather suggest you evaluate GE based on what you think earnings growth and future PE would be, and then impute what a future stock price would be. GE Financial is certainly subject to ongoing risk. Their strategy of only being in markets where they can be the #1 or #2 player adds some stability and reduces some risk in my opinion. |
