Avoid "Massively Overleveraged" Companies Like GE and Boeing, Analyst Says
...Bottom line: "Any company that basically assists its customers to buy its products using leverage is a company that we think has a broken business model in 2009-2010."
Two items worth noting here:
- Ortel first made a bearish call on GE’s stock (and a bullish one on its credit default swaps) back in August 2007, long before problems at GE Capital were evident to most investors.
- Neither Ortel nor his firm have positions in GE or Boeing stock, but their research is sold to hedge fund managers and other institutional investors who very well might.
