December 6, 2007: Utilities, Energy, Real Estate and Energy MLPs - a list of hopeful securities

Picture: Well, maybe not brilliant - but today's post is decent.


As most of us very busy with preparing for the upcoming holiday season, I admit to adapting this list from a new Credit Suisse First Boston report on these areas. As regulars know, I do have access to their detailed reports, and hope this roster will give you some ideas for securities to investigate. Many have very attractive yields. I especially like Master Limited Partnerships at this time (MLPS).

Here goes:

Alliant Energy (LNT)
Allied Capital (ALD)
American Electric Power (AEP)
Apartment Investment and Management Company (AIV)
Aquila (ILA)
Atlas Pipeline (APL)
