Utilities. I agree that 15 PE sounds high for such a low growth sector. So utilities are not my 1st choice of sectors. We both own GAS and ATO. Look at ATO, for example: EPS at $2.30 and $2.47 for 2012-2013. That's a 15 PE. I think that most investors only see that the dividend is 3.8% and is safe based on $1.38 dividend and $2.30 EPS. Many div seekers do not care about PE (in error). That view is the norm on the SI div thread. Anyway -- I also own NEE and LNT. Utilities are 6.7% of my portfolio.
