Recent Sell - General Electric Company (GE)

On 28 December 2017 I Sold 210 shares of GE at $17.36 per share minus commission.

December 8, 2017 GE Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend a $ 0.12. This was 50% less than the previous quarterly dividend. The announcement did not come as a great surprise, it had been the subject of news already some time. However, I decided that I sell all my shares before the end of the year, and I use the loss of the 2017 income tax purposes.
