NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- GE (GE) is reportedly preparing to adopt 3D printing in an effort to speed up repairs and cut manufacturing costs. Shares of GE rose 0.8% to $27.83 on Thursday following a report in the Financial Times.
According to the newspaper, GE and other industrials such as Siemens and EADS are planning to use 3D printing in part to hold down costs. By 2016, GE aims to begin mass producing fuel nozzles for the Leap engine using 3D printing for use in the Boeing (BA) 747 Max and Airbus A320neo. The 3D-printed fuel nozzles are much lighter than traditional parts, and are said to last five times as long.
Current challenges GE and other companies face when making the switch to 3D-printed parts is inventory costs as printing parts takes longer than traditional methods, making more difficult to efficiently produce large quantities of parts.

A week and a half ago when I suggested Latteno Food Corp. (OTCMKTS:LATF) was an effective way of getting into the medical marijuana craze for anyone who missed the big runups (the first or the second time) from names like Medical Marijuana Inc. (OTCMKTS:MJNA) or Hemp, Inc. (OTCMKTS:HEMP), not many people agreed with my assessment. That's the nice way of saying I received some "colorful counter-opinions" to my bullishness on LATF. Indeed, some readers were downright enraged I would dare compare the company to stocks like MJNA or HEMP, citing reasons ranging from the possibility that it's a complete scam to the possibility that the capital structure as amazingly unfair to current shareholders.

Brookfield Infrastructure has a number of potentially profitable areas for investment around the world but, above all, in infrastructure hungry Emerging Markets (EM) such as Brazil. According to Credit Suisse analysts, in Brazil, funds can be invested at Funds From Operations (FFO) yields above 12%. Therefore, the company's ability to grow its distribution yield, whether through acquisitions or organically, is critical to evaluate the company's value. Moreover, the currently conservative dividend payout ratio should allow Brookfield Infrastructure to self-finance on going opportunities.
