Russian, I have a stock for you .. ETR .. $65 w/ 5% yield

Thanks, but I already own 50,000,000 shares of Entergy. Oh, wait!!! OOPS!!!

I tend to shy away from all utilities just because they are at the mercy of politicians (PSC, for example) for their profits.

Plus, I personally think (this is just my perception, not based on any empirical data) that Entergy is a terribly managed company. They are constantly going before the PSC asking for rate coverage of their "mistakes." My personal experiences with them after Gustav last year taught me they can't find their butts with both hands.

And lastly, I don't know how much The Messiah's carbon emission's cap and trade proposal might affect power generating companies ability to generate profits....although, I really don't think His proposals will pass congress. (I hope not anyway.)

For those reasons, I would not buy ETR, or any electricity generating utility. Having said that, ETR may be a great buy!
