It sounds like a good company and they have wonderful plans. Buy what makes it a buy at $20 price, a 20 P/E? LNT has been mentioned here a few times and I just bought some. Not a compelling "no brainer buy", but probably a "nice buy". Dividend 6.6% at $2.00 per year - easily maintainable based on the CFO's outlook (see below). Insider Activity + PE ratio - same as industry. from press release: Future Earnings Outlook Thomas M. Walker, Alliant Energy's Chief Financial Officer stated, ``Given the potential downward pressures on earnings from recent decreases in oil and gas prices, the slowing economy... we have lowered our guidance for estimated adjusted earnings per share for 2002 by $0.05 per share to a range of $2.45 - $2.65 per share. We expect to mitigate these downward pressures by the continued improved profitability of our non-regulated investments, including recovery of oil and gas prices later in 2002, a rigorous cost and capital control program and the continued successful execution of our strategic plan... our goal remains delivering 7-10 percent annual adjusted earnings growth and enhanced shareowner value as well as meeting our financial objectives, including maintaining our stable dividend and investment grade credit ratings.'' biz.yahoo.com
