CAPS Rating:
****

A holding company, with subsidiaries engaged primarily in the utility business. The Company's continuing operations included the activity of four wholly-owned utility subsidiaries that serve electric and natural gas customers in 8 states.

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.

Solid utility play bolstered by dividends. Also moving towards making a concentrated-solar energy powerplant.


All that global warming should make for better concentrated solar power!

Electricity is like water, most things don't work without it. Plus they are the largest power company pursuing renewable energy.

In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

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