THAI DISTRESSED DEBT:JACK WELCH GE CAPITAL QUOTE

“This guy, this nut, wants us to invest $1billion in autos. I’m going to blow him out of the water tomorrow. This guy’s got no chance Norbom came in and made a convincing case. If you asked me five minutes before the meeting, I’d say “What are you nuts? And yet he made a great case, and you love him for doing it.”
