Many pay dividends above what banks are offering for CDs and, given the cost of steel, copper etc their book value is likely understated. As electricity is essential to modern life people will continue to buy it no matter what and put it at the top of their bills to pay. As electric cars become available demand will only grow and Congress won't have the guts to force utilities to cut back on coal fired generation and cause even greater rate hikes on their constituents. Can't think of any sector that is safer including oil and gas. MIght want to consider putting your 401K , IRA investments into electric utility companies.

At least then we would see more money in our paychecks which will not be lost in the stock market. Dr. HB,

We sit here and want it to go faster, but this is already going at warp speed. The personal computer / internet are accelerating everything beyond any talking heads imagination. Only Whitney and a few others seem to get it... Everyone will be shocked by how fast this all goes down… We sit here and want it to go faster, but this is already going at warp speed.
