  In order to emphasize its successful industrial business, GE has tried to shrink its once-dominant GE Capital unit. Yet the division is so large that it's hard to find viable buyers, and its $50 billion portfolio of credit card loans raises concerns that a buyer would have such a large stranglehold over the industry that it would create systemic risk. GE did manage to sell off some of its net-lease properties to American Realty Capital (NASDAQ: ARCP  ) late in the quarter, as American Realty has been going through a string of acquisitions with the aim of growing its overall business. But with the deal coming out to less than $800 million, GE will have to work harder to divest itself of GE Capital assets if it truly wants to de-emphasize that part of its business.
