    By Money Morning Staff Reports, Money Morning - January 24, 2019

    After months of neglect from Wall Street, investors have once again warmed to the General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE) on its run-up to earnings.

    Since hitting a low of $6.71 on Dec. 12, 2018, the 126-year-old conglomerate has rallied, driving its share price to a 2019 high of $9.14 just last week.

    The sudden jump has many investors wondering if one of Wall Street's favorite dividend stocks is finally back.

    However, the picture isn't as straightforward when you take a closer look...

By Money Morning Staff Reports, Money Morning - January 24, 2019

After months of neglect from Wall Street, investors have once again warmed to the General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE) on its run-up to earnings.

How to Play General Electric (NYSE: GE) Stock in 2016

By Shah Gilani, Chief Investment Strategist, Money Morning • @ShahGilani_TW - December 15, 2015

stocks to watch

Once it invented the lightbulb, GE spent the better part of the next 105 years expanding everywhere into consumer and industrial electronics. If it had an 'ON' switch, chances are GE made it. 

That's how the company became a solid investment. In fact, on Wall Street, GE was known as a "widows and orphans" stock - completely safe for regular investors to buy and hold. It was the bluest of the blue chips - a decent dividend-payer and a stock to pass on to your grandchildren.

The company continued to diversify into content creation and distribution, software, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and even capital.

And then, in 2008, the company imploded - spectacularly. It was that capital division that did it in the end.

GE Capital was very nearly fatal to the company. The king of American industry had to go begging for emergency funding of $74 billion to cover its financing needs. Millions of hitherto confident shareholders got slaughtered and watched the stock drop from a high of $42 down to $5.73.

What's happened since is something every investor needs to know, whether you're considering picking up GE shares, selling them, or hanging onto them...
