Harvard University is considered to be the top educational institution in the United States. So you would think that their endowment fund would have a great track record, and if it does, maybe you can follow along, and make money along side them, without even attending Harvard.
So lets start with the returns. The endowment fund is managed by Harvard Management Company, Inc. The average annual return over the last 20 years has been 12.0% per year. Not too shabby.
The fund has added 27 new positions during the latest quarter ending June 30, 2014. The new positions with the largest capital investments are as follows:
Protective Life (PL)
Covidien (COV)
Hillshire Brands (HSH)
American Realty Capital Health (HCT)
Susser Holdings (SUSS)
Energy Transfer Partners (ETP)
Protective Life, based in Birmingham, Alabama, has been around since 1907. The stock trades at 14 times current earnings and 13 times forward earnings. Earnings for the latest quarter were up 4.6%. The stock yields 1.4%.
Covidien makes and markets healthcare products, and is based in Dublin, Ireland. The stock has a trailing price to earnings ratio of 25 and a forward PE of 20. Although revenues were up in the latest quarter, earnings dropped 22.7%. The company provides a dividend rate of 1.4%.
Hillshire Brands makes and sells primarily meat related foods such as hotdogs, sausages, and luncheon meats. Brans include Sara Lee and Jimmy Dean. The stock trades at 34 times trailing earnings and 29 time forward earnings. Latest quarter revenues were up 10.6%, but earnings tanked 34.1%. The yield is 1.1%.

10,000 Natural Gas Filling Stations in 5 Years: High Yield Gas Stocks
According to Aubrey McClendon, the CEO of Chesapeake Energy Corp., the United States could have tens of thousands of natural gas filling stations for cars and trucks within a few years. Many investors prefer natural gas over oil, as it is a greener fuel generating a lower carbon footprint. Plus, it also has a long history as a fuel.
The yields on natural gas stocks are fairly decent. Based on the recently updated list at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com, over 20 gas utilities have yields ranging from 2% to over 7%. One example is Energy Transfer Partners L.P. (ETP), which is a publicly traded limited partnership that processes, transports, and sells natural gas. The stock trades at 17.4 times forward earnings and pays a generous yield of 8.2%. The company has been paying quarterly since 1997.
Dallas Texas based Atmos Energy Corp. (ATO) trades at 13.7 times forward earnings and yields 4.1%. The company has been paying dividends since 1989.
Chesapeake Utilities Corporation (CPK) is a provider of natural gas distribution services in Delaware, Maryland, and Florida. The stock has a forward price to earnings ratio of 13.3 and pays a yield of 3.5%.
For a free list of high yield natural gas utility stocks, which can be downloaded, sorted, and added to, go to WallStreetNewsNetwork.com. The list has over twenty different stocks with yields above 2%.

Recovery from the Natural Gas Explosion
A couple weeks ago, a horrific natural gas explosion took place in San Bruno, California, just south of San Francisco near the San Francisco International Airport. There were several deaths and an enormous amount of property losses and destroyed homes. The area is served by PG & E Corp. (PCG). Senator Dianne Feinstein and Senator Barbara Boxer have sponsored a bill to create strict new pipeline safety standards and increase the number of federal inspectors.
Although a tragedy, major natural gas explosions like this are not very common. Natural gas has a few benefits over oil, especially in the green area, as natural gas generates a lower carbon footprint. It also has a long history as a fuel; as a matter of fact, one of the original Dow Jones Industrial Average stocks from the 1800's is a natural gas distributor that is still trading today, Laclede Group Inc. (LG).
The natural gas utility companies pay fairly high yields. For example, Energy Transfer Partners L.P. (ETP) is a publicly traded limited partnership that processes, transports, and sells natural gas. The stock does have a fairly high price to earnings ratio of 37, but pays a generous yield of 7.4%. The company has been paying quarterly since 1997.
Chesapeake Utilities Corporation (CPK) is a provider of natural gas distribution services in Delaware, Maryland, and Florida, has a PE ratio of 13 and pays a yield of 3.8%.
WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has just released its updated list of high yield natural gas utility stocks, which can be accessed for free. There are twenty different stocks with yields above 3%.
