You have probably been hearing about how the recent galaxy-wide economic collapse has caused the division between the “Haves” and “Have-Nots” to widen. It appears the downturn and related financial turmoil has once again caused the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer. The rich part of that especially holds true if you happen to be a top executive at a company like Goldman Sachs (GS), American International Group (AIG), Morgan Stanley (MS), or Citigroup (C).
Unfortunately for most of us, as the facts have started to trickle out, most companies seem to be cutting from the low end while keeping their executive suites full. A multi-year salary study has shown workers with mere four year college degrees have seen their pay stagnate and even drop a bit, while workers with advanced degrees have received some nice increases.

This national healthcare plan was intended to help people, but now there are rumblings about how mandatory minimum insurance payments may pose a burden on workers hanging on to the lower rungs of the income ladder. Of course, higher paid workers, the “Haves”, will continue with their company-paid golden health insurance while lower income people will need to decide what to cut from their personal budgets so they can pay government mandated insurance fees. If they don’t pay, a penalty awaits. Maybe health insurance from companies like Aetna (AET), Coventry (CVH), Humana (HUM), and United Health (UNH) was better all along, assuming you never get sick or don't have any pre-existing conditions.

Be one of the first to read and reap from this options trade based report.
Summary: Over the past year, the market has gone from being one of the scariest markets ever to one of the most boring ever. After hitting multiyear lows then going on a historic ten-month rally, it looks like we could be headed for an extended period of market stagnation coupled with one of the weakest economic recoveries in American history. Where can investors turn for a safe investment with modest but reliable returns? We may have found an answer to that question in the utility industry. With a stable business model, steady dividend payments, and a promising future, this oft forgotten industry could be a new source of profits for savvy investors.
Stocks Covered: Xcel Energy (XEL), Dominion (D), Wisconsin Energy (WEC), FPL Group (FPL),Center Point (CNP), Duke Energy (DUK), and more…
Target Returns: Up to 12.4% or 43.8% Annualized*
