With sales of $7.2 billion last year, GE had hoped to get $6 to $8 billion for the unit. The fact they have now decided to consider a spin, an option not originally specified, can only mean conversations with potential buyers have resulted in prices much below that.In an spin scenario, if it is a tax free exchange like the ones Altria (MO) has done with Kraft (KFT) and Phillip Morr...
