The Company manages and evaluates its operations in six segments, four of which are reportable segments: propane, fuel oil and refined fuels, natural gas and electricity and Services. Jim Cramer states ,Brrrr! Many of us are enduring some downright frigid temperatures lately. So while you're sitting at home, staying out of the snow and wind, I'm sure the one question on your mind is, 'How can I make money off this arctic-like weather?' Cramer, as always, is here to help you with that dilemma. And his answer is one that many of you faithful viewers have been on to for a while: Suburban Propane Partners (SPH 35.45 1.05 (+3.05%) ). After so many of you talked this one up, Cramer did his homework. And the result? He's feeling the warmth too.
Suburban is an energy outfit that delivers propane and other fuels to over a million customers.Another reason propane is doing so well now is its wide profit margin. The wholesale price of heating oil is down 43% but the propane companies haven't passed those savings to their customers -- the retail price is down only 33%. I know, I know... the consumer part of you is outraged, as you think about your winter heating bill. But the investor side of you -- well that side should be pretty happy with that nice, fat profit margin. And don't forget we're only at the end of December, with at least two more months of Old Man Winter ahead. That puts Suburban in a good spot for now.

Finally, look at Suburban's dividends, "the main reason to own this stock." Its expected 2009 payout is $3.34 per share -- the aforementioned 10.7% yield. The company has had 10 consecutive increases in quarterly dividend payouts. With over $4M in cash flow expected next year, it will cover that payout handily. Its balance sheet looks great too: $4 per share and a $175M credit facility. All of that means that even in a worst-case scenario with its business falling apart, "it has the balance sheet to keep supporting it."
Cramer's Bottom Line: "You asked, I answered -- Suburban Propane Partners, with that 10.7% yield, is a buy, buy, buy!" Target price 55.00 a share.

Dentsply earnings can grow 10 % in 2009 . also they have $ 240 million in cash .There's a whole swath of boomers that are going to be needing dental work soon.It helps to have worked as a dental assistant. Dentsply products include xray holders that are easy on the mouth, protective aprons that are more comfortable, a new night guard that can be created in the office rather than cast and sent to a lab, dental tools that help sense hidden caries (cavities) in back molars, and even a toothpast that will help with tooth sensitivity.
