General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE) traded down about 5.3% Friday and posted a new 52-week low of $9.07 after closing Thursday at $9.58. The stock’s 52-week high is $20.75. Volume was about approaching triple the daily average of around 83 million. Fitch Ratings dropped its rating on the company by two notches to BBB+, still (just?) three notches above junk.

Volume was about five times the daily average of around 11 million shares. The company announced a $5.5 billion acquisition on Thursday and investors have not yet stopped administering punishment.
