Dominion Resources, Inc. (NYSE:D)

Steady company..always performs well

Extremely well managed company with a solid record of slow but steady growth. Will gain a lot of momentum when economy picks up again. i.e. in 5 to 6 months at least.

Potential to make some money for whoever owns the company whether in the way of shares or by owning the company.

value

Large Cap stock trading above their 14-day SMA

I tried to consider which stocks would have relatively low volatility during this tumultuous economic climate. My goal was to find a company that provides a service or product that people really need or, better yet, has their customers committed into paying a monthly bill and they do so happily. Preferably, this company provides good reliable service, pays a handsome dividend and has a positive, long-term economic outlook.

This Richmond, Virginia-based company has been in the electric business for over 100 years. They currently serve more than 5 million retail energy customers and they have rewarded their investors with 334 consecutive dividend payments. The current majority of their electric production comes from coal (46%) and nuclear (41%), but they have begun construction on a natural gas processing plant in West Virginia and they continue to grow their renewable energy sources from wind, hydro and biomass.

As a Dominion customer, I have experienced very good service from them getting a person on the phone, getting someone to come out to my house, setting up new service and they are pretty good servicing outages (as compared with the utility across the Potomac, PEPCO). There are other electric utilities that could be a wonderful investment opportunity (Southern Company, the American Electric Power Company and the aforementioned Pepco Holdings Inc.), but I have this warm feeling that every time I pay my electric bill, some miniscule portion of my payment will be returned to me in the form of a dividend.

Stock with Low Payout Ratio and High Yield

well managed

I think the consumption of electricity will continue to grow.

this would have been a much better buy 3 months ago but better late than never....unless I'm too late...

new screener test

PE low, good dividend

Cap and tax will allow D to flourish as any increased costs will be passed on to consumers. Demand will not be slowing any time soon, even if the economy tanks.

Growth + income

This stock is up there with AT&T

Solid play, will benefit of lower coal, gas prices,

My largest holding. Utility stock with a large dividend. They have 27000 MW of generating capacity, including a large portion of renewable energy. They operate 4 nuclear plants and have a NRC license pending for a new nuclear plant, North Anna-3. They also operate one of the largest natural gas terminals on the east coast.

interesting for the long term
