High income with reasonable safety. Debt appears to be mostly long term. Hit hard in 2008 thru Sep.

In my sharebuilder account, I have four portfolios. In my largest portfolio, I just did a search of performance history from 01JAN2008, and this symbol gave me the greatest quantity of dividends.

Infrastructure expansion and replacement seems to be one of the most certain themes for the future, both domestically and globaly. During down markets this type of portfolio should have less volatility than the broad market as a whole. And during robust times it should perform extremely well due to the theme mentioned above. I think it's a good bet for a long-term call regardless of what direction the broad markets are heading.

beaten down recently with the rest of the market. has investments in europe and other geographies. utilities will be needed in any global expansion and will be good even in a global slowdown. Wait out any slowdowns while collecting hefty 6%+ dividends. If dividends go down sharply, prepare to sell.

Macquarie, the aggressive Aussie bank, has a clear view of the growth needs in global infrastructure. This is a great way to play that demand. As long as the global economy is growing, MFD is a solid play.
