The instrument notation of 'unsecured, subordinated, redeemable, cumulative interest bearing capital bonds' seems to be quite a mouthful.

I haven't seen any broker recommend it other than highlight the basic points and GE's performance and plans for the capital raising.

Perhaps they are all frightened of the new financial advisor's regulations and want us all to come to our own conclusions but still indirectly pay their brokeridge.

I think it's a good offer and will be taking it up.
