It was the most attractive choice for me. Whether it was the best choice, only time will tell.
I pulled up a ten year chart, the dividend has been increased every year. If that history holds, the next dividend declaration should increase, I'm guessing by a penny a quarter. Not a huge increase, but still a positive if that happens. Coverage is more than adequate, S&P predicting $2.60 earnings for '12.
With Gabelli involved, that helps in the due diligence process.
I also like that it is involved in a variety of complimentary businesses in the energy field.

Re: National Fuel Gas Co. (NFG)

With the market down 1.25% (-162 Dow points), NFG is one of the few gainers +2.5% at $46.90/share +1.11. This was one that I wanted to buy (and still on my watch list) and glad to see a lack of sellers. A $44-$45 entry point would still be quite good.

No news on the company and the volume traded is about average too.
