This energy company is expanding its ability to produce power, and has had a recent drop in value. This downturn in market value is a mistake that will correct itself before too long, when it does the price per share will go screaming through the roof. With a solid market share, and everybody needing its product this comany is going to rebound, and when that happens there will be profits available for all involved, not to mention the 6% dividend they offer to investors

Good dividend for a tough year. Limited downside.
