Play the Winter of 2014 with a 6.9 Percent Yield to Boot (DividendChannel)

With the winter of 2014 dead set on overlapping into the summer of 2014, energy companies are a smart play right now. And Just Energy Group (JE) is one of these smart plays that also pays a 6.9 percent yield to investors. JE provides natural gas and electricity to residential customers in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom through fixed-term, price-protected contracts. It also provides green products through its JustGreen and JustGreen Lifestyle programs, including tankless water heaters, furnaces and air conditioners. With shares up 8.1 percent year to date, Just Green may be one of the only reasons investors can be grateful that the winter of 2014 just keeps going and going.
