Nicholas Heymann Quotations

I hardly expect to have any surprises. The surprise will come from GE helping people understand what can be done and will be done in the future. Instead of telling you a bunch of random numbers, we in fact may have ability to build a relevant quarterly earnings model.

GE was taking its cake and eating it, too. You can't have it that way and the whole industry ganged up against him.

I thought the number would not be this weak,

Relatively little value may actually be able to be unlocked through the simple act of splitting the company into three parts.

Lockheed is hedging its bets just in case it lost out on the Joint Strike Fighter contract. Northrop has a lot of the avionics that go onto military aircraft.

As one of the largest lenders to each carrier and having gone through more than 200 airline bankruptcy proceedings as a lender over the past three decades, we believe GE is very well positioned to ensure its shareholders' interests are adequately protected,

There's a lot that has to be done at this company to get (margins at) the commercial part above 5 percent.

There's a near-term impact and we're moving into a more challenging economic environment.

It's important to connect reality to concept. An improvement in the gross domestic product has caused people to feel more confident in their jobs, but profits are being driven by efficiencies in this country rather than increase in demand,
