Boomtime:Yes - I am long on this one - presently have a minority stake of 500 shares enjoying the $112.00 dividend - I also just took an even more minority position (250 shares) in a soon to be large Nfld utility company (Fortis) symbol "FTS" currently trading above $28.00 They just recently bought a British Columbia natural gas distributor (Terasen Gas)for $3.7 Billion. They had a net profit last quarter of $4.1,000,000.00 - not too too shabby for a once small Nfld company. They have other utility interests in the caribean as well. This one is worth a look see - has an annual dividend of .84 cents (.21 quarterly). Fortis has assets in the neigbourhood of $10,000,000,000.00 - Just a thought - I saw your post to me on the CEX board just by chance this morning. I am headed out to B.C. to visit family and friends on the 24th and get a taste of that B.C. natural gas myself. Not too many posts on this board so I have no real concerns about posting a bit of personal info on this board.C U later (HW)
