PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 21/07. Up 2% including dividends.)Thought there would be more of a catalyst by selling their oil/gas properties, which they did, but management paid themselves $16 million in bonuses. Now might be an interesting time to look at this.

TOP PICK
As a utility, it has reasonable downside protection. Has a gas arm with substantial gas fields, which gives it a diversified earnings base. Also has one of four LNG terminals in the US, which gives it somewhat of a monopoly.
