Keeping Singapore great: from money.cnn --

GE Aviation, the bright spot in the embattled conglomerate, agreed on Thursday to unload a Baltimore-based business for $630 million in cash.

The sale of Middle River Aircraft Systems, which makes thrust reversers that slow jets and hard casings for engines, is the latest in a long series of deals that have shrunk GEs vast empire.

Singapore Technologies Engineering is buying the aviation business in a bid to "scale up" its own aerospace capabilities. Middle River Aircraft Systems employs about 800 people and has designed and built aircraft for almost 90 years.

Apple: Cramer is blown away by the Apple Watch. Paraphrasing Cramer: "As exciting as the new iPhone is, you are being downright negligent not getting the Apple Watch. Just what the doctor ordered. And if you get the Apple Watch, you're going to get an iPhone. The Apple Watch monitors the heart rate; FDA-approved "A-fib" warming; and, get this, an FDA-approved one-lead ECG (EKG). Apple Watch / iPhone: not evolutionary yesterday; revolutionary." AAPL: recovered some of its recent losses; up over $5.00. Did not hit new high, but certainly within striking distance.
