You've got enough perspective not to get caught up in minute-to-minute thinking, right? If Buffett's investment in GE is a scam, then the market will figure that out and ignore the alleged salutory benefits. In fact, it will punish GE because if there are no genuine benefits, then surely the terms of the deal are dilutive to shareholder value and that will be reflected in the future performance of the stock.
If it's a scam, you should trade it that way. Buy some puts or assemble a bear put spread.
