General Electric News
General Electric finished 2020 with a loss of over 10%. Although GE had a remarkable comeback from the lows hit in March in the early days of the pandemic, the shares did not have a full recovery during the year.
Even before the uncertainty due to the pandemic hit our shores last year, GE’s management was finding it difficult to regain shareholder trust for the long term. 2020 is likely to be another challenging year for those at the helm of the industrial giant.
In the coming weeks, I expect GE stock to trade in a range between $8 and $10. Long-term investors with a two-to-three year horizon may consider buying General Electric shares if the price goes toward $9 or even below. Patience will be required to see your capital grow for the company with a long history of lackluster performance.
If you already own GE stock, you might want to stay the course. Alternatively, if you are an experienced investor in the options market, you may also consider using a covered call strategy with approximately a six-week time horizon, i.e., Feb 19-expiry. Such a covered call position would enable to you to participate in a potential up move and also offer some downside protection.
