Money and Finance
I try to make at least one purchase a month and usually two just because of the amount of capital I usually have to work with from my savings. Since I'm trying to reach financial independence as quickly as possible I don't feel that's it's to important to build up a large cash savings to deploy at the most opportune time in the markets. I made another purchase of Kinder Morgan earlier this month and decided to put a little bit more capital to work by adding to another small position of mine, General Electric (GE). General Electric is a huge industrial powerhouse with operations covering just about every facet of the economy, unfortunately that also included banking services which nearly brought down the company during the depths of the Great Recession.
Management has been working towards decreasing the role that the financing arm plays on their results and get back to their industrial roots. Earlier this month they filed an IPO to spinoff the retail financial unit which will further reduce the lending portion of the company and let GE focus on what it does best which is supply solutions to the industrial needs of companies worldwide. The spinoff is expected to finalize in 2015.
