Since then, the conglomerate has scrambled to hold on to its Triple-A credit rating. Its stock slid 56% last year. It's cutting its hefty 31-cent quarterly dividend to 10 cents. And CEO Jeff Immelt took a 28% pay cut and asked for no bonus for 2008. But GE's diverse businesses - which range from wind turbines to medical imaging devices to TV network NBC - should help the behemoth weather the storm. After all, that's what we expect from one of the oldest companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. --A.A.Address: 3135 Easton Turnpike Fairfield, CT 6828 Phone: 203-373-2211 Website: www.ge.com | ||||||||||||||||||||||
