TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says it'll be tough to shrug off this huge miss.
This was a big miss, Doug Kass is dead right. I work for GE, so I find it hard to talk about. But I don't find the impact hard to talk about. The financial services business here is a big leasing business and the financing in leasing is tough. I didn't think it was this tough.

Legendary investor Jim Rogers in comments on Fox when he was a panelist on the Neil Cavuto show foresaw problems with GE back in February of 2006 (see- far down the list- item in the Channeling Jim Rogers section at http://www.Barrelomoney.com). You don't always have to wait for earnings to see what is going on-- with the credit crunch happening and a big financial division at GE the stock had a lot of risk even though the CEO bought a big batch of stock-- a sign that often gives an "all clear" to investors.

Always remember Jim Cramer said that Spitzer was the next Jesus Christ.... I am not here to make you money just to remind you that most of the time Cramer is wrong :)
