Bubble Pricker Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I like Great Plains Energy in the US - very solid and stable. In the UK, United Utilities is the clear winner. High yield and it's a water utility as well - I think water is the next big commodity thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbubb Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I stumbled across this one: National Rural Utils Coop Fi (NRS) ... update-weekly : daily : monthly has a good yield over 7.2% i need to look more closely at their business activity About NRS== Formed in 1969, the National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation (CFC) is a member-owned financial institution that provides state-of-the-art financial products to its approximately 1,050 electric cooperative members located in 49 states, District of Columbia, and three U.S. territories. Electric cooperatives serve 12 percent of all U.S. consumers—39 million people in—and account for 8 percent of total electricity sales, and own about 5 percent of generating capacity. CFC has total loans and guarantees outstanding that exceed $20 billion, and its owners have invested more than $3 billion in CFC securities (as of May 31, 2005). For more information on CFC's membership and financials, please see the Fiscal Year 2006 CFC Annual Report website : http://www.nrucfc.org/aboutcfc/index.htm more in the 10-K - - hmm.. As the US heads into a recession, credit risk could prove a big issue, especially since a guy called John Borak, is in charge of credit risk management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
