But The Stock Is Not Without Its Risks

Here are specific risks we see:

Looking at historical drawdown during market crises is another lens to look at risk.

GEV fell 65% in the Dot-Com crash, 58% during the 2008 crisis, and 55% in the 2022 selloff. Even milder dips like 2018 and Covid saw losses over 20%. Risk is real.
