I was looking into companies like GE but I don't want to throw money into a ship that is sinking.
I'd average into either an index fund or a diversified mutual fund, dividing the money into equal parts and putting it in over a period of six to eight months. Buying individual stocks right now would be particulary risky, I'd say.
