Are you Worried about a Breakup?

Since posting about my recent purchase of GE I’ve been emailed a number of times asking if I’m concerned about the increasing pressure being exerted on GE to breakup. Well the answer is no, absolutely not! Personally, I think that the real value of a world class conglomerate like GE would be unlocked if it was broken up into their separate operating divisions. It’s very rare that large conglomerates trade at a value equal to the sum of their parts and I think that GE is no exception. As a shareholder of a conglomerate you really have nothing to lose from a breakup. Instead of owning many shares of one world class company you’d own less shares of many world class companies. The only difference being is that you can sell the divisions you don’t like and in all likely hood the value of the separate companies would be greater than that of the conglomerate. So to make a short answer long----breakups are an investors best friend.

Hey there! My name is Felicitas and When I just wanted to say
your website rocks! It's surprising due to the fact I use to have a weblog that almost had an identical url: http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3233334764716542857&postID=6255326276532567578 mine was only a few letters different. Nonetheless, I am a big fan of your weblog and if you at any time want a guest article you should email me at: tricia_purvis@yahoo.de. I love writing!

I do not know whether it's just me or if everyone else experiencing issues with your blog. It appears as though some of the text within your content are running off the screen. Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This could be a problem with my browser because I've had
this happen previously. Thank you

Browsing digg.com I noticed your blog bookmarked as: Blogger: Middle Class Millionaire.
I'm assuming you book marked it yourself and wanted to ask if social bookmarking gets you a ton of targeted visitors? I've been contemplating doing some social bookmarking for a few of my sites but wasn't certain if it would yield any positive results. Thanks.

Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it
to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the
shell to her ear and screamed. There was a
hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to
go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to
tell someone!

Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made or
did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog jump out.
Please let me know where you got your theme.

Kudos
