What's Next For GE After The Stock's Best Month Ever?

General Electric Company's GE stock in November recorded its best-ever monthly gain ever with a 40% surge, but two trading pros think the industrial giant isn't a momentum stock worth buying at current levels.

'Very Questionable': General Electric's surge throughout November needs to be put in perspective, Ari Wald, head of technical analysis at Oppenheimer, said on CNBC. Despite the stock climbing firmly above its 50-day and 200-day moving average, it's still "well below" its mid-2016 peak.

"That long-term structure, it's just very questionable," Wald said.

GE's stock momentum could be a function of it's low-price with "some beta to it," Wald said. For investors looking to capitalize on beta, he said they may want to instead consider semiconductors, capital goods and more mid-cap industrial names.

'Easy Money' Already Made: The "easy money" has already been made in GE's stock, Joule Financial President Quint Tatro also said on CNBC. As such, investors need to be very careful on how they approach a stock like GE that's "just off to the races."

Granted, the company is going to show improving free cash flow moving forward but it will also need to continue selling off business units, he said. These asset sales will "hinder the progress of the stock" into 2021 and beyond.

GE's stock traded around $10.17 per share at publication time.
