National Grid plc (ADR) (NYSE:NGG)

National Grid should be able to grow it's very attractive dividend ~6% in the coming years at a 5% clip. Challenges and risks arise with regulators, as is typically the case with utilities. One of my favorite aspects of this stock is the direct inflation hedge, as consumer rates are directly linked to a UK inflation index. Combine this with a healthy and growing yield and you have a real return on investment in the form cash.

Babo

My focus is on long-term investment with good dividends. Also looking at international diversity. This fits both criteria. (Short-term, who knows?)?

Monopoly!

NGG JUST INSTALLED GAS ON ENTIRE STREET...THEY ARE A CLASS ACT ...NO DAMAGE TO ROAD ,...DRILLED PARALLEL DOWN 36 INCHES ...JUST REALLY IMPRESSED

This is a "Giant Tortoise Stock." Like a giant tortoise, It may be big and slow, but it has a hard shell (economic moat), can swim far (enter into new and emerging markets and industries), and live long.

Great yield, stable company with current price approaching 52 wk high. I’ve been trying to focus on value and high growth plays and this fits neither mold. PB >2 appears its not much of a value at this level. Solid company, but feel it will underperform vs. the market through year end.

With the high volatility of the general market, I've got my portfolio weighted particularly heavily with high-dividend energy, and NGG fits the bill. Solid business, perhaps somewhat lofty dividend, but still a less volatile pick than many others.

Great yeild, with a p/e under 10
I wil risk that they won't keep the yeild

Good company, defensive, and big yield.

This is a defensive play in utilities, paying a large dividend. I've owned since December of 2010 and has treated me well this year.

Who doesn't use electricity?

strong steady utility with solid dividend

strong div in regulated monopoly

Grid will become increasingly vital.

This stock is all about the dividend and the security of that dividend and the likelihood that the dividend will steadily increase. Odds of performing well seem very high.

Good dividend, you are buying the ADR and the majority of the company is in England so you get the dividend and the diversification into another currency.

I LIKE ALL HIGH DIVIDEND PAYING STOCKS. IN 2008, I WENT FROM A PORTFOLIO OF PREFERRED STOCKS TO ALL HIGH DIVIDEND COMMON STOCKS AND THEY ARE UP 60%. I LOST A LOT OF MONEY ON GM PREFERRED, LEHMAN PREFERRED AND FANNY MAY WHICH WAS RATTED BBB+.MY PICKS ARE GE, TOT,EXC,KMB,SCG AND A REIT TWO. TOM PORTER.

Large cap stock, price above 14-day moving average
