Utility. I agree that NI looks fairly valued and that FPL might have more price upside. Actually I reviewed all my utilities and switched a few horses. I sold NI and bought a supersized amount of FPL and regular amount of ATO and AGL. I own these 4 utilities now -- FPL, ATO, AGL, CNP, and utilities are 6% of my portfolio. I feel green with FPL -- "one-third of all wind capacity and the largest solar energy producer".
