Low beta, lower risk stocks like utilities should outperform higher beta stocks in 2010 in a standard reversal effect.

My favorite utilities include:
E.ON (EONGY.PK), Energias de Portugal (EDPFY.PK), International Power (IPRPY.PK), GDF Suez (GDFZY.PK), Norsk Hydro (NHYDY.PK), Saneamento Basico (SBS), China Natural Gas (CHNG), Ameren (AEE), and Mirant (MIR).

Perfect example of megatrend investing. Developing nations are seeing hordes of people who formerly did not have utilities moving up into real housing with real utilities. What we have here are cheap stocks with phenomenal growth prospects and minimal to no competition. Wowzit!
