TransCanada Corporation Added

No Dividend Portfolio is complete without a utility distribution company. such as TransCanada.
I've considered Fortis, and TransAlta, before selecting TransCanada because it looks like the best deal at the moment. though Fortis and TransAlta could be added later for diversification when the price is right.

CIBC Analyst:

Our price target remains at $42, and is based upon a 17.5x 2011E target multiple (unchanged). At 14.5x 2011E EPS, we view current levels as an attractive entry point ahead of what is expected to be very strong growth in 2011+. We maintain our Sector Outperformer rating.
