VE is the world's largest water utility, operating primarily in the sewage, water treatment, and waste management arenas. They also do some work in rail transport and heating/cooling. The stock is trading at 31x earnings, but is also less thant 1x sales. There's a decent yield(2.7%). ROE is great (over 20%). Despite having recently won contracts in China, this is not a fast growing business. The earnings chug along at about 10% a year. This stock is also a potential beneficiary of the green movement that has been gaining momentum in the last few years.

Two opinions that I always trust are Eric Bolling (derivative trader) and Lester Brown (founder of Earth Policy Institute). Both are of the opinion that water supplies throughout the world will not keep up with demand. Water prices are likely to continue their rise. Companies that are most affected by this rise are safe long-term investments with little risk. This stock fits the criteria above and is a BUY.
