There are some differences in tax reporting. You receive a K-1 with partnership income instead of a 1099-R so it must be reported differently on your 1040.
There's a great article on MLPs and Your IRA that I will refer you to in an attempt to answer that question. Apparently there is major disagreement on this issue (make sure you read all the comments!). I suggest you consult your tax advisor.
3 High Yielders Going Ex-Dividend In November [View article]
Oh, no, not at all. When they go ex-divided, that means that they are getting ready to pay their dividend, and you need to own the stock if you are to receive the dividend. There is the ex-dividend date, which you have to own the stock the day BEFORE, then the record date 2 days later, then the payment date after that. If you buy the stock after the ex-dividend date but before the payment date, you will not get the dividend. So the purpose of this article is to alert people that they should buy these stocks before their ex-dividend dates, if they want to receive the dividend. Hope that helps!
Yes, if I had added another crterion of past 6 months performance (personally I would have looked at the past 12 months), now I would have only 1 perfect stock, which would be Aflac.
And Bruce, I am defensive because I feel that whether or not I own these compaies is irrelevant to the research I have done and the conlusions I have drawn.

I did look at BBL in addition to BHP. The criterion that was not met for BBL is the 5-year annual estimated earnings growth rate. For BHP it is calulated as 7.3%, and for BBL it is calculated as 4.0%.
GIVE ME A BREAK! You people who are complaining that I don't own any of the stocks I am recommending - what if I said I owned all of them? Then you would also say my motivation was suspect! I always say that I own none of the stocks I am outlining, in case you havent noticed. Maybe I intend to buy in several days. You have no idea.
You are just whiners and complainers. I notice that none of you write any articles, you only comment on others'. I did the research, I clearly laid out the criteria I used. I am not handing you sure-fire picks, I am offering up suggestions for you to consider and look into further if you are interested.
