General Electric (GE) +0.00% closed at $28.06 on Friday for a gain of 11.3% so far this quarter, up 11.1% year-to-date and just 2.1% below its 52-week high of $28.68 set on April 10. The stock has been extremely volatile trading back and forth around its 200-day simple moving average all year. The flash crash low of $19.37 on “Black Monday” put the stock briefly in bear market territory, down 32.5% from the 52-week high to that low.

This price range should result in volatility after the company reports quarterly results before the opening bell on Oct. 16
