DON'T BUY

Trying to form a nice base. In a trading range. Stock has clearly under performed the market in the last few months. Has yet to show any evidence of a significant upside move.

TOP PICK

Locking in dividend yields. Electrical utility based in Alberta with a yield of around 4.1%. Cheap natural gas and emerging demand for electricity as the oil sands and all the projects rev themselves up again. Very stable company with strong corporate ownership. Gives you a dividend tax credit and twice a yield you are getting on bonds.

BUY

4% yield. It is fairly safe. Prefers TRP-T. Is very electricity-based, which is fairly political.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Apr 22/08, down 14.09%) Nice dividend. Under performed market in last month.

BUY

Electrical power company, which is doing pretty nicely. Very steady. You have to look at the potential of carbon emission situation for all utilities. Will there be additional costs for cleanup? On his watch list because he likes the area.

TOP PICK

Constantly rising dividends. Yield of 2.9%.

TOP PICK

Stock will sort of climb gradually and then take a bit of a header and that's when you buy it. This is not a growth stock; it is a stock for yield. Dividend of over 3%.

BUY

He is generally favourable toward utility stocks, especially where there is some growth. Good dividend yield. Feels that at some point, this will be a takeover.

HOLD

Not a lot of catalyst for growth. Really an interest-rate story. Feels that interest rates will come down.

BUY

If you are interested in the utility area, this could be a Buy. The Alberta market is a very good market. Very well run. 3% yield.

BUY

Pretty reasonable dividend yield and good growth rate. Interest sensitive. There is potential for growth in the dividends. A good solid stock to have in your portfolio.

DON'T BUY

Have had a lot of problems in terms of their earnings visibility. More and more of their earnings is dependent on market related things.

BUY

Favourably disposed to electrical utilities. Earnings growth is pretty good. Dividends are good and growing. You now have the possiblity of a tax change that may eliminate double taxation of dividends.

DON'T BUY

Would prefer AmerUS (AMH-N). The problem with a lot of the utilities is that they are really priced for perfection. It's hard in a regulated environment to see how these things will grow. This company has to buy gas which is extremely expensive and concerting it into power.

DON'T BUY

A good utility trading around 18 X earnings. The major power generator in Alberta. Fairly valued.
