Brutal. But does the index account for dividends paid? Have never followed utilities. Saw a blurb somewhere that Bill Gates was buying some Avista (that one creeps into the news around here...) but there isn't any economic growth over there and I don't know why people buy these things--it does yield a little bit better than a treasury. Well, let's mark down AVA for $10, and it traded as low as $9 1/2 today. About every year or so I skim through my old posts, I'll come across this next fall and see how AVA did. You know, if I did get into utilities, then personal fuel cell generators would take off or something, and the company that drops off your propane would be the winners. Well, that isn't so far removed from Avista. Ha.
