The time to buy anything is not when it’s run up, but when others are running it down. And when commodity prices start to head higher, this is the MLP group in best shape to profit.
Three-Legged Rally
- January 15, 2010
Our coverage universe is off to a solid start in 2010; the industry benchmark Alerian MLP Index is up a little over 2 percent, and our Aggressive Portfolio picks are up by roughly twice that amount.
Shale Infrastructure
- December 18, 2009
The big payoff for George Mitchell came in 2002 when Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN) acquired his firm in a $3.5 billion deal, a fitting recognition of the experience and acreage his firm had in the Barnett Shale.
MLPs in the Coalmine

Commodity Tailwinds

Upside for G&P MLPs

Not all E&P plays are inherently risky. A handful of partnerships have carved out profitable and surprisingly steady businesses.

Gathering Yields
- July 16, 2009
