CAPS Rating:
****

A public utility holding company that operates through its four direct subsidiaries: Kansas City Power & Light Company, KLT Inc., Innovative Energy Consultants Inc. and Great Plains Energy Services Incorporated.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

I don't dislike utilities in general, or this utility in particular. But I think they will underperform through this next rally (March - June 2008).

Since I only do this on sundays...
I used Bates' DDM and project 37.83 for this stock.
I undertook my investigation of the electric utilities sector starting with the idea that this is a mature sector, probably the first to get out of any slump.

Attractively priced for a good yield. As they absorb Aquila and expand some wind energy projects, should be weel positioned to grow from here,
