CAPS Rating:
****

A natural gas company that finds, produces, gathers, processes and transports natural gas; also manages a wholesale power business and operations are concentrated in Pacific Northwest, Rocky Mountains, Gulf Coast, Southern California and Eastern Seaboard.

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 players 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.

There are so many other gas companies that have way better earnings per share.

They've got gas and the ability to pass it. Natural gas, that is. Huge reserves with pipe lines all across the U.S....

Nat gas is for now and the future looks even brighter. I don't own this one. Looking for a pull back the week of the 21st. Will get in then.

Although the energy group is as volatile as the market these days this company has: excellent long and short term earnings growth rate; good stock performance for the year; in the top 20% of its group; quarterly, profit margins and return on equity is great. Although volume is moderate this has the earmarks of a healthy stock. New pipeline construction will help keep this stock up.
