DIV

I believe SO will continue increasing its dividend regardless of what the economy does in the short term. The yield here is solid even if it underperforms in a bull market.

This has been a steady producer since its begining. Steadily increasing the didvidend.

Electricity demand is increasing as record temperatures are recorded this past year, and most likely again next year.

GREAT LONG TERM STOCK WITH A GOOD DIVIDEND PLAY

I started investing in SO stock in 1976. Throughout the years Southern has performed admirably in terms of increased dividends, value and growth. From some of SO Dividends I had purchased other stocks that added healthy growth to my portfolio. Presently, about 80% of my IRA distribution (I'm 71+ years old) come from SO dividends. Also, about 70% of my taxable investment account (approximately $460,000) was accumulated from the sale and dividends of SO stock. No wonder SO is given a five-star rating by the Motley Fool.

As soon as the housing market in the south turns around energy demand will rise. Good dividend

We are heading for a masive collapse of the major "investment banks and there can be no "bailout" by governments and taxpayers form that catastrophe.

More cash per share and less debt would be nice, but overall seems to be a good stock. Solid dividend, would say probably 1.5% of portfolio.

12/12

Solid company all around. The last thing people and businesses stop paying is the electric bill.
