this stock is generating an attractive dividend,it also has taken over the assets of canadian hydro developers which is gonna boost the bottom line.large pension fund managers will be buying this stock for pension safety and attractive dividend.currently the on balance volume indicator is bullish and there is buying interest in the stock.

transalta has one of the highest returns of equity in the utilities sector.this stock is managed well and there is little risk.
