Mid-sized electric and gas utility in southwestern Indiana, with gas distribution through much of Indiana and into central Ohio. It also has some non-regulated activity and coal reserves which serve its generating plants as well as others in the region.
Solid financials, with an outstanding record of continuously growing its dividends.

I agree 100 percent. This is a nice stock to use for dividend yield if you are interesting in balancing out your portfolio. I believe Edward Jones took these guys public.

However, the problem here, of course, is that the share price isn't going to do anything beyond 30.

I would recommend CVX which pays out a 3.41% dividend and then has the opportunity to reach 90 or above, especially since I believe the big fund managers favor huge oil conglomerates right now like XOM, CVX, and COP.

I strongly recommend buying as much XOM as you can right now. This stock is going to hit 90, meet some resistance, go forward, and then split which will spark a feeding frenzy among small investors. They posted 10.6 billion in profits last year and anticipate another 30.6 billion over the next three quarters. The CEO is a genius who has made all the right moves, in my opinion.
