COMMENT
4.83% due 2019 trading around par. Pretty stable cash flow and is rated BBB high so good from a credit perspective. 90% of revenue from Nova Scotia Power/Bangor Hydroelectric, which is pretty safe cash flow.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Mar 6/09, Up 26.5%) Does still like them. Long term they are a little more risky. Linked to Nova Scotia so not the fastest growing region in the country. Still worth holding.
BUY
You are not looking for big returns with this one but for consistency. Utilities have under-performed. You wont get hurt.
BUY
Too boring to be a takeover candidate but that makes it attractive for him. 4.7% dividend. Relatively attractive price earnings ratio. (See Top Picks.)
TOP PICK
4.83% bond maturing in December 2/19. Investment grade.
HOLD
Hydro-Quebec’s takeover of New Brunswick Power shouldn't have any effect on this stock. Prefers Fortis (FTS-T) with a higher growth rate of possibly 10% and yield of 4.11% for a total return of about 14%.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
If looking for a growth and income model, this would definitely be a candidate. Look for a little lower price. 5.1% yield.
BUY
Utilities have not moved up in comparison to bank stocks. He prefers the utilities now. Likes it.
TOP PICK
East Coast electric utility. Very defensive. Yield of about 5%. This will pay you to wait.
TOP PICK
Very defensive. Utility and 3% of its contracted cash flow. Limited but solid growth. Dividend.
BUY
Very good performer. Largely the holding company of Nova Scotia Power. Also has some pipeline and utilities in Maine. Generous yield and raises its dividend every year or two. With BCE (BCE-T) being taken out, there will be a lot of money that will be looking for a home in the utilities. (Also see Top Picks.)
COMMENT
The macro overview for not buying the stock would be because of rising expectation of inflation, leading to rising interest rates that would not be good for interest sensitive stocks. However, there is now an expectation of disinflation and this stock would do very well. Would think total return would be around 9% or 10%.
BUY
Money will be flowing out of BCE (BCE-T) and Transalta (TA-T) looking for a home in the regulated area. This is a natural. Under priced.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Has a beautiful W formation, which is very important. Stock may be a little ahead of itself and wouldn't hurt if it came back to around $22 or $22.50.
BUY
Investing in Openhydro Group for Bay of Fundy tidal power. Tidal power is one of the great unrealized technology dreams. No one has done it successfully yet. Utilities have been in favour the last few years as inflation has been low and dividends have been very attractive. Doesn't have to succeed in tidal power to be an attractive holding.
