WAIT

Raised dividend as expected by market. Was under phenomenal pressure compared to piers. Dividend is safe and he lives the yield. Wait for earnings before buying.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Utilities are a good place to look for yields. Doesn't think there is a huge risk on this one. Earnings are fairly stable. They are into a few new things that are interesting such as windmills. Watch it and buy on dips if you need the yield.

BUY

Has formed a very solid base. 5%-5.5% yield. Would Buy on some expectation that it might go up to $25. $20 would be an exit point.

DON'T BUY

Yield of about 5%. Return On Equity is falling rapidly. Also wants a reasonable debt to cash flow of below 3X or 2.5X. Theirs is 3.6X.

COMMENT

Nice yield. Currently running up against some technical resistance. Would need to bust out of $25.50 to advance much further. His Fair Market Value is about $45.

TOP PICK

4.3% dividend yield. Valuation has been beaten up. Levered to Alberta with strong margins. Continued demand.

BUY

Hedge fund investors wanted to acquire at $39 so stock went up. That is now off the table so it has pulled back. Always paid $1 whether earnings went up or not. Earnings are finally up this year over last and going up in the next couple of years and dividends are forecast to increase.

TOP PICK

Could see this easy trading in the mid-$30 range. One of the few pure play power generation companies out there. You have dividend support and a lot of upside.

COMMENT

Getting back to reasonable value but not dirt-cheap for a utility. At a level that you don't have to worry about it quite so much anymore. 4.5% yield.

HOLD

Dividend is likely safe. Have a high debt load but have been paying out a fairly high percentage of their earnings as dividends for some time. In an area where the population growth is going to be above the national average.

DON'T BUY

The perennial question is how safe is the dividend. There have been on-going debt concerns and an aborted deal they tried to do a while ago. He is concerned about the sustainability of the dividend.

COMMENT

Has grown its way into its high dividend. And now it's able to do some of the things it needs to address its carbon imprint. 3.6% yield.

HOLD

There is an offer on the table to negotiate from 2 of their major shareholders. The talk is around $39. On its own, the stock is not cheap at 15X earnings.

COMMENT

Going through a possible takeover, which he thinks will happen. Cash flow is going to be there. Solid revenue generators.

HOLD

If you own, he would hold for the time being until there is a better sense of the take-out potential. If you don’t see anything further coming, then he would consider selling.
