Hi Steve - I was looking at my Schwab StreetSmart.com % Div Yield Screen for my positions and see that EGAS ranks well on my list. Here is a small list of the top candidates on my list. finance.yahoo.com Several of these stocks are now at the high end of their value range and/or may have limited dividend growth. However, along with EGAS, LLY might be another one to think of adding. I also now have a good chunk of my income coming from high yielding preferred stocks. My favorite that I recently added is MHR-C which pays a 10.25% monthly dividend. I am also looking at GMXR-B 9.25% preferred but the MHR-C pays monthly and probably has the same risk profile as GMXR. Still the theme should be dividend growth and you do not get this with the preferreds. I am finding that the potential good dividend growers are yielding in the 3% range. There are many MLP that have the potential for growing their distributions that currently yields 5%-6%. This is down from the 7% area. My strategy is to use the high yielding preferreds to spin off income and stay with the low yielding dividend growers for growth. MDU is still my favorite at prices below $20.00/share. Good work with the EGAS, I think this one will work out fine for both the IRA and taxable account. EKS
