Hi Steve - I am looking at PPL too but would like a slightly lower entry point (at $27.60 it would yield 5%). I am trying to buy these utilities at PEs below 10 and sell them when they are above 12 just using a broad based measure of value. The same is true for yields. I want to own them with yields of 5% or higher and consider selling them when the yield drops below 4%. This is the list I have compiled: finance.yahoo.com I am excluding AEE based on my June 19, 2009 review Message 25705905 On July 24, 2009, the company applied for an 18% rate hike which will probably nor get approved in full. So, AEE is off my list for the time being. Many of these have rallied 20% or more from their earlier lows only 120 days ago. PPL seems to be a laggard and has the potential for a double from current prices. I agree w/ your observation "... seems like a good place to park a few bucks..." especially as my credit union only yields 1.6% and these utility dividends are "qualified" which for now are taxed at a max of 15%.
