Max, I've been studying that report for the past week. I meant to post it here and forgot. Thanks for doing so!

What impresses me most about their portfolios, is how well the utility sector has performed over time. One wouldn't think that utilities could be a top tier sector over a decade or two, but it is!

I own quite a few utilities and I know that in my portfolio, they are one of the best performers I have in total return. The MLP's are best.

As long as people need heat, air, electricity and a way to power their gadgets, utilities will keep plugging along. They just aren't an exciting holding. I don't need the excitement. I need the performance and I am pleased with the performance to date.

My son only has two utilities in his portfolio (D and SO), I have 8 or 9. I'm going to suggest he adds another one or two.
