Just last month, one of those Fools, rockjam78, tapped Dominion as a timely income opportunity:
A recent favorable ruling from the Department of Energy may allow Dominion Resources to begin exporting LNG to some 20 countries abroad. This could have a big effect on Dominion's bottom line in the upcoming quarters. ... The popularity of the clean burning natural gas has been on the rise in countries like Japan having had their no so long ago problems with nuclear energy. Add to this a nice dose of insider buying (one of my favorite indicators) and an attractive dividend to boot, this stock could be a market outperformer in the months to come.
Of course, despite its five-star rating, Dominion may not be your top choice.
