Utility sector is a good choice for value and for defense. This company has low debt, good margin, and a good dividend (not to mention a cool ticker symbol).

This is a solid, well-run company that will outperform the market over the next five years. Currently sporting a dividend yield of 6.9% and a P/E of 9.1, I think the uncertainty in the Florida real estate segment overshadows other core operations. I also like it when insiders like Emery Sidney add to their holdings.

ALLETE, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, engages in the generation, transmission, distribution, and marketing of electrical power for retail and wholesale customers in the upper midwest of the United States. Note: I love a company with subsidiaries that usually means they can chop off the arms that offend them easily.
