Chairman of General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE), Jeff Immelt, has made another vote of confidence in the stock today. In transactions listed with a trade date of TODAY May 28, 2008, the filing with the SEC shows that Immelt purchased some 115,000 shares at prices between $30.59 to $30.66. At a mid-point, this represents roughly $3.52 Million worth of stock.
As a reminder, he purchased shares earlier before the company dropped the ball on its last earnings report. After that, we came up with a mid-range valuation for the company that is higher than current levels. But it also was using the company’s guidance after it lowered targets.
GE’s 52-week trading range is $30.21 to $42.15. Shares are down $0.02 at $30.38 in early afternoon trading.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?
The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.
Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!
Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
