BUY

He typically doesn’t own utilities because they tend to be dividend yield plays, not dividend growth. This is an excellent company serving about 5.5 million customers in 11 states. You get good consistent mid-single digit dividend growth and earnings growth. Half their power generation comes from coal, so they are going to have to spend money over the next 5-6 years to retrofit some of their plants. Dividend yield of 3.4%.

HOLD

This is fine. It is defensive. Utilities in general are defensive. They have a contentious case in Ohio to become a regulated utility. Thinks it is a stable, safe place. Not a lot of upside. Dividend yield of about 3.5%.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 7/14. Up 16.47%.) Sold this at around $61 in order to pick up some other names he wanted.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 7/14. Up 16.9%.) He got out of this back in November when it hit his target, with a gain of about 22%.

TOP PICK

At a previous high last May that he would like to see it gets through, but more importantly it has a strong upper trend. Utilities are starting to move up on the weeklies so when you see this action happening, we have a longer-term negative/sideways trend and a shorter trend, this really peaks his interest. Great dividend. Sells at a little bit of a discount to its peers.

BUY

As a long term pick, it's not bad. Would prefer Duke Energy (DX-T) or Texas Utilities ahead of it. A mid west utility that has one of the largest transmission systems in North America. Strategically located. Also has a large coal operated fleet.

BUY

A good way if you want some US exposure is through dividend paying stocks. Historically dividends grow and hopefully the stocks will go up. The best place for dividends in the US is in the utility area. He likes both American Electric Power (AEP-N) which has good growth and good dividends and Iowa Telecom (IWA-N) which pays around 8/9%.

DON'T BUY

A very hard one to tell. First of all, most of it is owned by Air Canada and these 2 have a very funny relationship. There is conflict as to one wanting free seats and the other not wanting to give them. Secondly, Aeroplan will be filtering more shares into the market which will put a natural cap on the shares.

HOLD

Expects it will be able to maintain its 5% dividend. Looking for a new CEO. Got caught up in some of the gas manipulation of market pricing in which they have been assessed with a $300 million penalty. Delay buying for six months.
