Thanks for enlightening me. Welch's tenure ended in 2001, by which time 40% of GE's revenues were from GE Capital, who were actively engaged in derivatives markets and had large exposures that would have gone bad even if they hadn't levered up from 2002 to 2006.

There are many other criticisms of Welch's tenure that come to the conclusion that GE did well DESPITE Jack Welch, not because of him. Here is a tasty link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Welch#Criticism

At any rate, I personally think that CEOs are figureheads of companies and the only things about a CEO that makes any difference is a) how good a head of hair they have b) how tall they are c) which ivy league school they attended and if they shared a class with anyone now at Goldman Sachs

At least he was a Chemist, and not one of those idiot Physicists ;)

Is this the same Jack Welch that nearly bankrupted the world's largest company through high risk speculation in financial markets?
