The relentless maw of the 24-hour news cycle must be filled so it gives everybody a place. The blog-o-sphere is full of it, from Seeking Alpha to Forbes.

Not sure how/why he was left in command as long as he was.


I remember that 3 for one split. But then hubris kicked in and they got way deep into trying to be in the world of finance. Unrestrained greed.

I like calm waters and could never forgive a dividend cut. That is why I am watching the interference with T.

I admire your optimism.

Or maybe your comment is tongue-in-cheek.

I don’t know.

I truly hope GE really does recover — fast. I know people who work there.

I will watch and hope for the best.

Default Insult Upon Injury

I am aggravated enough by the interference with AT&T and then tonight, while watching the Nightly Business Report, I learned something else to be concerned about.

Investors should be aware that the tax plan in Congress right now has a requirement that investors selling stocks must sell the longest held shares first—taking away the individual’s right to choose which shares to sell. Of course, if passed, this would typically result in a bigger capital gains tax hit to investors who like to take a little profit every now and then.

As those who like to do their own investing know, managing tax hits is a main ingredient in managing income. If this gets through, it is really going to hurt small investors.
