Stop Trading!: GE Dividend Cut Is a 'Positive'

Cramer pointed to a Sanford Bernstein research report that said the capital generated from the cut is essential to support GE’s [GE  Loading...      ()   ] ailing commercial-finance division. So while a dividend cut would normally be seen a negative, “it was a positive” in this case, he said. The company will now have much-needed cash to support its operations.

“I applaud management for doing it,” Cramer said.
