Power play: Rebuilding the electric power grid
16%

"The Obama administration is poised to spend a lot of money on infrastructure; one important sector is the the nation's electric power grid and the communications system," notes Dave Dyer.

In his Dave Dayer's Newsletter, he explains, "Some products will win big, others will get nothing, but one company will get more business regardless of which products win: Quanta Services (NYSE: PWR), the leading electrical contractor in the country.

"Quanta's service business stands ready to expand with the infrastructure buildout no matter which products are selected.

Surprised Obama Folks are not Piling into Quanta Services (PWR)
Tradermark
34%
I am really surprised Quanta Services (PWR) is not exploding higher on the Obama infra theme; if there is one stock in America that seems to be at the center of all things Obama New Deal 2.0 it is Quanta Services. I wrote about this name in August [Aug 10: Quanta Services - Looking to Break Out] when infrastructure stocks were not hated - but it fills a different niche than the engineering and construction stocks we talk about often.

Three Infrastructure News Stories
Tradermark
34%
These infrastructure stocks continue to be out of favor on an "institutional money rotation away from global growth stories", but in the big picture I continue to believe the story is very interesting. Below is a series of stories entailing some of the opportunities and challenges we've discussed many times in the blog.

First, as we always say - America; the land of not addressing a problem until it's an emergency. And we have an emergency brewing in our infrastructure. The positive is, addressing this emergency can create many good, solid jobs for Americans. (these will be tough to offs...

Quanta Services (PWR) is one of these stocks in the right place, right time - and a chart that despite being an "infrastructure" play, is still working. The company's website can be found here.

The company's comprehensive services include designing, installing, repairing and maintaining network infrastructure nationwide.
