TECO also recently did an equity offering. Evidently it wasn't enough. I look at what I could for TECO bond prices. There were a lot of offers of TECO bonds. Yield to maturity for Teco bonds was higher than TXU (TXU was at 9.7) - which is in trouble.

Baa2/BBB- TECO 2007 yield to maturity 9.711 (other offers had y-to-m of 8.091 and 7.727)
Baa2/BBB- TECO 2011 yield-to-maturity 10.353

Baa2/BBB- First Energy 2006 yield to maturity 5.528

Other BBB- utilites ran between 5 and about 7 y-to -m

Go to bondsonline.com , go to Corporate bonds, (you may need to hit okay on the security pop-up), select Baa/BBB from the pull down ratings, click a dot in the yes column for UTILITIES , and the no column for the rest.

Something is really wrong - bondholders don't dump unless there is a reason (most of the time).

I will probably sell the rest of my TECO tommorrow.
