No problem. Note that after I posted that, I realized I had thrown in a few power companies that weren't all related to Natural Gas so it isn't a pure play list. Of course I "ASSUME" people will do their own DD. I think I said in my post I wouldn't necessarily be out buying them right here since I expected a minor pullback as summer neared. After all perception and sentiment is most of stock pricing. It isn't all FA. Still I believe with so many power plants switching over to Natural Gas when it was cheap the last few years and the anti nuke and anti dam groups were fighting any other alternative. There are many more electric generators burning gas now than in the past decades. There are still a lot that burn coal too which makes me mad that I looked at Arch Coal over a year ago thinking it was a good play but decided to trade the glamourous stuff instead. I think it has doubled or tripled by now and the Calls were dirt cheap back then. oooops! <ggg> QQQs seem to be stuck between 49 and 50 lately. Which way will they go George, which way will they go. ( The dumb foxhound in Looney toons) EDIT - Also I think I posted that list as a dividend income list with the first few pure plays like HGT, SJT, BPT etc paying out around 20% dividends. My thoughts were that if the market went flat down the road where trading got difficult, I could stick my kids in them for steady income in their IRAs. Since they are so young, they don't have much cash built up yet so trading their accounts is tough without large movements due to broker fees etc. A steady 20-25% dividend paid monthly would probably do as good if not better than trying to flip tech stocks all the time. Good Luck, Lee
