General Electric
Sales, dividend and earnings per share have grown but stock price as not. The price of GE appear sensitive to interest rates. Large investors bought GE to gain its 3% dividend. As the Federal Reserve increased interest rates, this midigated the good news of rising profits and dividends. Now that Federal Reserve appears to have stopped raising interest rates, GE's good news of increased earnings and dividends should bolster the share price.

| 2005 | 149.7 | $1.72 |
