I would like to know if anyone in this sub owns it and what are their thoughts on it. It seems like a very good dividend company to own despite very little growth.

Hallo liebe Dividendenjäger,

heute gibt es einen richtigen Leckerbissen für euch. Es geht um die Aktie des Unternehmens Consolidated Edison aus New York City. Sie versorgen mittlerweile mehr als 10 Millionen Menschen aus New York City und dem Umland mit Strom, Gas und Dampf. Apropos Dampf, wer kennt ihn nicht, den Dampf der in NYC aus den Gullideckeln aufsteigt? Dieser stammt von Con Edison.

Auch bei den erneuerbaren Energien sind sie dick im Geschäft. Es handelt sich hier um keine Wachstumsmaschine, aber um einen soliden Slow Grower nach Peter Lynch, welcher sogar bald zum Dividendenkönig werden könnte!

Die Geschichte geht bis ins Jahr 1823 zurück. Hier wurde das Unternehmen als die New York Gas Light Company gegründet. Viele Umstrukturierungen und Übernahmen später - unter anderem auch des Unternehmens von Thomas Edison - handelt es sich um einen der größten Versorger der vereinigten Staaten und dort sogar landesweit den 2. größte Besitzer von Solaranlagen.

Ihr Geschäftsmodell gliedert sich in folgende Bereiche:

• Strom-, Gas und Dampflieferant für NYC
• Strom- und Gaslieferant für das Umland von NYC
• Con Edison Solutions (Installation von Solaranlagen im privaten, geschäftlichen und öffentlichen Bereich)
• Con Edison Development (Betrieb von eigenen Solar- und Windkraftanlagen mit einer Kapazität von 3,2 Gigawatt)
• Con Edison Energy (Energieberatung für Großkunden)
• Con Edison Transmission (Übertragung und Weiterleitung von Energie)

Sie sind in dem Versorgungsbereich somit ziemlich ordentlich unterwegs. Nachhaltigkeit und Klimaschutz werden bei Con Edison groß geschrieben. Bis 2030 will man 70% seiner Elektrizität aus erneuerbaren Energien beziehen und bis 2040 soll die Produktion sogar CO2-neutral sein. Sie geben sogar auf ihrer eigenen Website Tipps zum Stromsparen.

Die Zahlen sind solide, hauen einen aber auch nicht vom Hocker. Ein typischer, langweiliger und unspektakulärer Buy-and-Hold-Wert eben. Der Verschuldungsgrad ist mit 9,8 sehr hoch, erscheint jedoch im Branchenvergleich mit Nextera Energy (13) oder Southern Company (10,3) wieder angemessen. Die Verschuldung stammt vor Allem aus Investitionen.

Aber jetzt kommt der Leckerbissen: Die Dividende wird seit 47 Jahren stetig erhöht, die aktuelle Dividendenrendite beträgt 4%. Wenn Con Edison die Dividende in den nächsten 3 Jahren weitererhöht, von was auszugehen ist, dann wird es zu einem sogenannten Dividendenkönig, also zu einem Unternehmen, welches seine Dividen

I have interview in 2 weeks with Conedison and I need to get some perspective of the interview and some of the interview questions?

A/N: Hey, guys! Finally got this episode hammered out! We're into Act IV and back on the offensive!

This episode is a bit short, for what they have been lately, only 8600 words or so, but we're getting back into the action.

I've got a good handle on what happens in Episodes 19 and 20, decent outlines for both, and 17.5 and 18.5 half-episodes, though future updates will continue to be slow. I'm moving at the end of the month, and work will continue to be busy right up until I leave. Hopefully I'll have everything set up and settled into my new place by the end of February, and I'll be able to get into a more regular posting schedule after that. The new job is a much lighter workload, and I should have a lot more free time to do all the things I want to do outside of work.

I've got some maps of Gahla that I've been working on, too, that I'll be sharing here at some point. They still need some work before I'm happy with them, and the map files are also on my desktop which is on its way to a container ship with the rest of my household goods, so it'll be bit before I'm able to share them.

Once I get settled into my new place, I'll also be looking to start commissioning character and story art again, since I'll have more time to reach out to and work with artists.

In the meantime, though, here is the next episode!

Retreat Hell – Episode 18

[First][Prev][Next]

“Three fucking weeks.”

“Say again, Sergeant?” Meyer turned to look at Bradford as she stared over the hesco wall.

“It’s been three fucking weeks, sir, since we finished getting this FOB set up, and we’re still sitting here.” She snorted. “It’s bad enough we haven’t seen any fucking Keeblers since the first week of the war. We’ve built eight FOBs chained out over five hundred kilometers without seeing a single elf. Now we’ve been twiddling our thumbs up our asses for so long, the goddamn Army’s caught up.” She waved at the latest in a line of trucks and Humvees rolling up to the gate in the compound’s southern wall.

“Disappointed the elves aren’t giving us any resistance, Sergeant?”

“Sir,” she said, turning away from the wall. “We’re Marines. We exist to fight and kill the enemy, and right now we don

Seriously, they are. On October 6, 2007, the S&P 500 hit an all-time high. This was the last high to be seen for years because soon after, we entered the period called The Great Recession. Here is the distribution of the analyst ratings on that date:

This is the distribution of the ratings as of January 9, 2022

Lowly Consolidated Edison (NYSE: $ED) is the worst-rated stock with a "Hold" rating.

Color me skeptical, but I find it hard to believe that no stocks in the current index warrant at least a "Sell" rating.

This is how I see the S&P 500

Obviously, I take a more conservative view than the typical analyst, and I have been criticized for it before. No matter. It helps me to focus on true value based on GARP. These are the companies I have my eye on. They all have strong balance sheets and are undervalued based on earnings, revenue, and free cash flow.

• Take-Two Interactive Software ($TTWO)
• Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc ($REGN)
• Activision Blizzard Inc ($ATVI)
• Vertex Pharmaceuticals ($VRTX)
• Alphabet Inc ($GOOGL)
• D.R. Horton Inc. ($DHI)
• Meta Platforms Inc ($FB)
• Expeditors International of Washington Inc. ($EXPD)
• Monster Beverage Corp ($MNST)
• Veeva Systems Inc ($VEEV)

Feel free to share what you think.

EDIT: Sorry, this question is a little hard to phrase. I'm wondering, if I came upon a stock certificate from the 17th or 18th century, what company would it be that I could still trade that stock on the market?

For example, if I came across a paper stock for Consolidated Electric from 1824 that had been in my family for generations, I believe I could take it to a transfer agent and get money for it. Even if that's impossible, Consolidated Edison is still the oldest stock still being traded on the NYSE. So I'm wondering if Europe has any examples of stocks that predate Consolidated Edison that are still being traded today

I think it's because l'm in America, but when I type this search into Google seem to only get 2 categories of results:

1. Oldest publicly traded company on the NYSE (because only the NYSE matters, right?)
2. Oldest company in general (because no one cares about European stock exchanges that started in the 17th century, right?)

So l'm curious, are there any stocks from companies that went public in the the 17th or 18th century that are still trading today?
