informative post, but you do not consider that PG grew somewhat by acquisition. A huge part of the increase in both revenue and income was the acquisition of Gillette for stock.

I am not sure about GE, but to the extent that it has grown the particular numbers you display through acquisition, they will also be skewed.

Also, GE, is basically a loan company, with huge exposure in the credit market. I wouldn't want to be mounted on that particular pony right now.

But I will give you that 1.4% income per year over the last 10 years is an embarrassment. This was mostly under Barrett reign with 5 billion dollars a year on fabs that now have to be refitted.
