GE- please bring good things to my life!!!

3 Dec 2008

Bought some GE today at the same price it was 12 years ago.  Got a nice 10.5% yield (they re-stated today that they were keeping their payouts for 2009 at the same levels as previously announced).

 

I partially did it because I think it'll go up, but also because I want to try to figure out this DRIP (divident reinvestment plan) enrollment process for a taxable account at E-Trade.  I've easly signed up for quite a few differen't securities into the DRIP plans in my tax sheltered Roth IRA account, but failt to see the same ease of use in a general trading account.
