Here is the IBD version of this story.
http://news.investors.com/031515-743536-ge-sells-australia-finance-arm-to-kkr.htm?ven=yahoocp&src=aurlled&ven=yahoo The big question will be - how is Immelt going to return the $ 6.4 Billion to the owners of the company - the shareholders. Sadly, all he has done so far with other sales deals, is stash more in the bank with over $ 130 Billion now, earning what ? About 1% APY if we are lucky. Maybe one day Immelt will figure out that you cannot have eps growth if the shareholder provided working capital is earning 1% APY, when the normal businesses are/should be returning about 10% or more.
