Just sold the rest of mine. It was purchased by my grandfather in the 1920s and early 1930s. He sold some in 1936 to buy a farm at a garage sale. My Dad held the shares he inherited for 40 years. He never sold or bought any. He just collected the dividends all those years. It was like a family heirloom but its time for it to go (imho)

oops. My grandfather sold some of his GE to buy a farm at a Sheriff’s Sale, not a garage sale. My grandmother used to say that if he’d held the GE instead, he would have been very rich.
