Buy, Sell or Hold: Exelon Corp. (NYSE: EXC) Can Energize Your Portfolio with a High-Powered Dividend

With the yield on U.S. Treasury bonds sitting well below 3%, income investors have to get creative. Those seeking dividend-based cash flow must to be willing to look in less traditional places to find a safe yield.  And what could be less traditional than nuclear power? After the Three Mile Island disaster of 1979, nuclear energy became the forgotten carbon-free source of electricity.  However, a small renaissance in nuclear power is happening as we speak, and Exelon Corp. (NYSE: EXC ) gives us a great tool to capture the upside from this renaissance - with some solid income, to boot.  Exelon is the largest operator of nuclear power plants in the United States, with 10 plants operating a total of 17 individual reactors.  It's the third-largest operator of nuclear plants in the world, and it has a massive barrier to entry around its niche market.
