  • Critical dividend proposal for GE approved by SEC 0 comments
    Jan 19, 2012 8:42 AM | about stocks: GE
    Seeking Alpha readers, sharing with you great news I received last Friday regarding a dividend proposal I submitted to General Electric (GE) for its 2012 annual meeting and proxy. The SEC's ruling that GE may not omit my proposal is significant for both GE shareholders and all public equity shareholders. Please visit my site for a full review of the proposal, GE's reaction thus far, and the SEC's opinion, especially regarding the importance of dividends to shareholders.
