Although it hasn't returned much it recent years, in fact, GE stock has severely declined in value, General Electric Company (GE) is a good example of how a very big company can continue to earn very good long term results. A $5,000 investment in 1975 in GE would be worth well over $300,000 at the end of 2009. However, time will tell if the next 30 years will be as kind to long term investors as the previous 30 years has been.
