It has a good relationship with its regulators. I also like Exelon (EXC), but not as an income stock; its regulated ops are mediocre, but it merchant generation fleet is nuclear-powered and has a significant cost advantage over others.

Otherwise, I will watch the companies dividend fundamentals, if they deteriorate, I will eventually sell the company. In this case TEG and PGN are well along the sell path since both failed to raise their dividends at the appointed time.

I also noticed that you are long on some of the companies mentioned. Judging that these companies are in a less than ideal situation due to the negative free cash flow would you care to comment on what you would look for as a determining factor that it is time to sell and move on. I have just found your site and really enjoy it great work! I agree with your point entirely. I also noticed that you are long on some of the companies mentioned.

I like the comparison between utilities and Ponzi schemes. I prefer low-debt investments myself, but that can be difficult to find among utilities. Interesting article.
