If TORTOISE PWR AND ENE (TPZ) was $1.00/share lower I might consider it for a swing trade. I bet this one moves to an all time high on the XOM announcement before it breaks back down to $19.00/share. WILLIAMS COS (NYSE: WMB) up more than 4% today. Even several of my utility companies that have NG subsidiaries are doing well. finance.yahoo.com EKS

RE: XOM; MSFT; CNP Followed you in for a little XOM. Peeled off a few shares of MSFT to book recent gains. Hedged CNP with May $15 calls. Stock has had a good run from $10.00, dividend secure w/ 5.3% yield (xdividend in Feb). Option premium juices div yield an extra 1.5%. Strategy is to buy more CNP at $12.50 and sell shares $15.00. FLR, SHAW & JEC all up big. Looking at PFE and HRP as possible new buys at current levels. No hurry to chase. Div yields look nice too. DPDW continues to sign new contracts but stock can not hold any recent highs. Still waiting for my lottery ticket to hit. Deep Down Secures Two New Contracts for $4 Million finance.yahoo.com EKS
