Idk man, idk. In a lot of ways it’s tempting but I’m staying away for now. They need to prove themselves and by themselves I mean the leadership of the company they’re looking pretty lost at the moment.

Been there but I'm afraid you may be broke before that day comes. Hopefully just a small hedging position.
I feel the same exact way right now. I just think a few years down the road I’ll regret not throwing every extra dollar I have at it.
I'd stay away. No metrics lead me to believe they'll do anything but continue to under perform
They've been a mess for so long and they are so large there is no easy solution. The fact they are doing so terrible when everything else in the DOW is soaring is a terrible sign.IMO.
After the uproar from the “this is us” thing with crock pot I have no faith in humanity left. Do what makes you feel good because we’ll all be gone soon.
I had to google this after reading your post. I’m speechless - people are soooooo dumb.
I had about $5k of GE and unloaded when I broke even.
I'm no expert but I do think that their most profitable business line is under-performing, their leadership has made a ton of questionable decisions, and there was chatter a month ago about questionable financial reporting. can they turn things around? maybe. but don't let the blue-chip name trick you.

Guess who bought PFG at $12/share and sold it at $15/share thinking I was smart. I've been kicking myself for 5 years about that.
I only sold 1/2 of my PFG stock last week. I wanted to sell it all but everything else I had was less than 2 years old and didn't want to get hit by taxes.
If you’re in an employee stock purchase plan where you get a look back and a big discount don’t mess with it. Sell instantly after the buy in, every time. Lock that **** in man! It’s not always going to be like it is now so it’s good to get in the habit. I don’t know if that is your situation but that is the way the pros advise to play it.
I just googled this as well. That's amazing. I've never heard of that show, but just wow....
I'm guessing that if he had sold it immediately he would have missed out on some big gains. The stock price two years ago was $38, which means he probably got it for around $32 with the discount. If he sold it for $74 last week. That's a nice little 132% gain compared to a 15% gain if he would have sold it right away.
If he would have turned around 2 years ago and bought the S&P 500 he'd only be up 20% since that time.
Not saying that you should have your life savings in company stock but it doesn't hurt to have a little if the fundamentals are there.

juat quoting the concensus expert opinion on these types of plans. If there is a lookback the immediate gains could be over 15% as well.
