And don't miss Brooke Sutherland on GE's slow path to dissolution: "JPMorgan Chase & Co. analyst Steve Tusa estimates GE will lose $1.5 billion to $2 billion of free cash flow through its targeted $20 billion in asset sales, dragging the normalized level meaningfully lower than the $6 billion to $7 billion that GE is targeting for 2018. In other words, GE is a conglomerate that shouldn't exist but might need to exist for the time being. That's not nearly as exciting as a big breakup or a Buffett stake, but it bears repeating (yet again) that GE's only way out of this mess is probably a long slow grind of asset trimming and operational improvements."
