    I have been with Duke for 10 years-it does not go up or down alot but pays a nice divd every yr (over 5%). Hard to get that with a CD. If it ever drops under $19 again-I'm buying.

      Gold is WAY overpriced and dividends are almost non existent..If you want great returns get into MLPs..like KMP..Pipeline companies make great profits cause drilling companies have to use them to send oil and gas to refineries,and thats where they cash on volume sent
