RE:DOW DOWN 778 TODAYUtilities are tradionally considered a good safe harbour during market declines because so much of their revenue is regulated and quite presditable. Japan also has a need for propane so I am not too concerned about revenues in the present climate. That said, uncertainty and volatility tend to roil or affect all stocks to some degree in the very short term - but if you are asking whether I would lower my longer term - 12 month target based on recent events and the trade dispute I wouldn't. In fact ALA was beaten up so badly and there are still so many shorts to close that this is a good candidate for a bump uwards at any time - especially aftern next asset sales but the real upward thrust comes after qtr 4 earnings - patience..
