Dominion Resources, Inc. (NYSE:D)

involved with nat gas.

When you add it all up, the generation growth, the midstream opportunities and the financial profile its easy to see that Dominion has a lot to offer income seeking investors. There’s also more potential upside in the future from Cove Point and even an eventual sale or MLP IPO of some of its midstream assets, especially in the Utica. That's why I think Dominion just might be the best positioned utility to generate market beating returns over the next few years.

can 30 stocks randomly picked from a bag of scrabble tiles beat the market? there's only one way to find out.

I see utilities dropping as the general market rises slowly over the next 5 years

How much of a premium is the safety of US Treasuries worth? Less than the current price is my take on it. I'd rather own this and get paid twice as much. I could get burned I guess, but I probably won't.

CFO insider buying, as outlined in this article: http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2012/03/12/the-surprising-signal-that-provides-superior-infor.aspx.

A recent favorable ruling from the Department of Energy may allow Dominion Resources Inc. to begin exporting LNG to some 20 countries abroad.This could have a big effect on Dominion's bottom line in the upcoming quarters.Dominion's close proximity to the Marcellus shale in neighboring Pennsylvania and West Virginia make it a convenient conveyance to its Cove Point docks in nearby Chesapeake Bay.The popularity of the clean burning natural gas has been on the rise in countries like Japan having had their no so long ago problems with nuclear energy.Add to this a nice dose of insider buying (one of my favorite indicators) and an attractive dividend to boot,this stock could be a market outperformer in the months to come.Keep an eye on this one!

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.

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...
