Williams Companies is one of the best-run oil & gas infrastructure companies out there and is very shareholder friendly. For example, WMB currently pays a healthy 3.6% yield and management stated during the 2012 Analyst Day that it expects to raise the dividend every quarter in 2012 and continue raising the dividends through at least 2014.
In addition to the value of the strong dividends, now that Williams has eliminated a lot of risk by spinning off its exploration business earlier this year (WPX), the WMB stock price has been rising faster and more consistently. Those not familiar with the company should note that the January 3, 2012 drop in the WMB share price was only from the WPX spinoff. The resulting "free" WPX shares (which I have since sold for a nice profit) more than made up for the minor and temporary reduction in the WMB share price.
It's also important to note that WMB also owns 75% of its WPZ master limited partnership (including the general partner interest). So, owning the WMB parent company gives investors significant exposure to the value of WPZ, but without the tax headaches of an MLP. And, considering WMB's stated dividend policy, I wouldn't be surprised to see it yielding in the 5-7% range like an MLP within the next few years too.

Good solid energy company. I bought it around 18 in September, and there is no reason to think that Williams will stop climbing.

Williams looks like a potential candidate to split up, which would unlock significant value.

This company has pulled itself up from the ashes of the dot-com meltdown and returned to it's roots of drilling and distributing natural gas. Their use of technological drilling allows for multiple well drilling from one location. The pipline business while regulated generates cash like a utility.

Sooner or later this country will turn significantly to natural gas to reduce carbon footprint. Plus, Williams has pipelines that supply a steady income regardless of gas pricing. Lots of natural gas reserves, and lots of new cash to exploit it.

ROE of neaarly 18% and they actually have a little bit of cash in the bank, just under a billion. In any case they seem to be in decent shape I am a buyer

A natural gas play with a 3.8% yield. Nat gas has been ignored, but is a clean green energy source that should get more interest in the Obama future.

Energy demand has not slacked off, despite price increases. The demand for natural gas on world markets is strong, and CNG as an alternative to petroleum is a cleaner burning alternative for fleets. This stock is a good value at 6.35 P/E.
