But David, If you look at the yields on a lot of utilities now, they don't fetch the yield of the 30, because they have run up so much. Examples: DPL 4.6% DTE 4.2% DUK 3.1% CIN 4.7% FPC 4.6% With the 30 year at 5.1%, and the 10 year, I would guess, at comparables to these utilities, I don't know why these utilities should be viewed as safe havens, especially if the bond continues to back up. I also don't feel the utes are totally immune from an economic downturn. They service large industrial concerns, as well as Joe and Jane Doe turning up their thermometers.
