CAPS Rating:
*****

A non-diversified, closed-end mgmt. investment co.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

I simply used the screener to find all of the 5 star stocks with the greatest 52-week losses. 5 stars should make them good picks and the high 52-week loss should make them cheap. We’ll see how it works!

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.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
