They should. It would take 2 years before they hit 28 a share though again. GE is being dumped with all the other stocks out there on the open market due to heavy redemptions.
You would be surprised at what percentage GE compromises your typical mutual fund. (1-3% typically)
If you have a 10-15 year span and you are going to hold,write calls on the stock you should be okay.
Look at TXT,UTX,AA,MT,DOW,BA,PPG,SI,HAL
Look at 1 year, and YTD. Lots of liquidation going on in these larger names. AA is worrysome though.
