I’ve been surprised they stayed somewhat solvent for a while now. They, Macy’s, Sears, all those boomer companies can go to hell. Also fuck banks. Almost as bad as shitty ass fad companies that should’ve never gone public. Fitbit, gopro and all those whack ass zoomer stocks

It DOESN'T MATTER that they sell real products
The issue is that they HID THEIR LOSSES and DEBT in another company to make it "disappear", literally from the Enron playbook
The only problem is that debt does not "disappear", it simply gets moved from their books to another company's books but GE is still on the hook for their own debts and not the underlying company.
In traditional boomer fashion it looks like they hid $9 billion in a company called Baker Hughes and the rest in other "subsidiaries"

Short-term value autists are already buying the stock. Even today people are reacting to the report with disbelief and are now buying the stock and publicly commenting about it. There's probably going to be a dead cat bounce.
