Google now worth more than General Electric.

Something omnious regarding GE passed my desk, I wonder if other firms/traders got the same info and this is why GE is being dumped in masse.

I am not putting in an order for GE today thats for sure.

Exact. For example, NT has market cap of its common stock relatively to zero and the company still worth about $2B.

Hey - it cuts both ways. My point remains valid.

Pretty amazing. If anyone told those kids working in a basement that their website google would be worth more than General Electric, they would think you took too much meth.


Amazing how times change.
Google has $13.17B profits (ttm)

Compare this to the $98.74B of GE profits.

Besides Google competition could arise easily and quickly (remember when yahoo was the king?).
Even if google does everything "right", it could just go out of fashion.

Even if GE profits get down 50%, GE has more VALUE (value not price), than Google.
