Now you have changed your tune after your first statement was removed by the editors. You first gripe was with the title which Philipsonh and I both informed you were something that authors did not control. You made point blank accusations that I was being deceptive there and did not cover NKA at all. You did not even click the link to see if there was further data on NKA.
Now you are trying to spin things from a different angle.
I respectively beg to differ; the statement is not deceptive as it refers to the 1st article and the Yield being as high as 15% amongst the MLPS covered in that article. You are twisting the statement, It says MLPS with yields as high as 15%, and not that all the MLPS have yields of 15% or higher. I listed two of the 5 MLPS covered as it made no sense to list all of them again.
If an MLP offers a yield o 15% then there is nothing wrong or deceptive in mentioning it. You are clearly looking for any reason to start an argument.

Philipsonh thank you for commenting and for rightly pointing out to bert that Authors do not always control the title. In this instance you are 100% correct as that was not the original title.

There is nothing wrong with EEP, KMP and BPL were rated higher because they have a much longer history of paying out dividends. in addition they have increased their dividend for several years in a row. So its comes down to good and possibly better.

One thing I have discovered is that no matter how good something might be (this something can be anything, a perfect investment or a new formula to cut down on oil dependency, etc) no amount of pushing will get others to listen to what you have to say, unless they decide that its time to look at something new. In other word, real change does not come about easily and the masses have to want this change- until then one can scream till one is blue in the face and it will have no effect even if one has all the evidence to back one's claims. I am not taking a side I am just making a simple observation.
One wise man once told me this; when two people are arguing about a point (does not matter what the point is). One could argue that both of them are correct. The reason for this assumption is because in the back of their minds both these individuals believe their are right, so it does not matter who is really right or wrong- neither one believes that he/she is wrong so they will argue till the the end of time.

I am not sure who you are referring to, but if you are referring to me and this article. Then I would have to say you are wrong on both counts. I have never mentioned NKA before and I am not pumping it.

Thank you for the information. However, I am not making any recommendations. I putting out information for individuals to look at and then decide if they want to take a position or not based on their individual risk tolerance.
Having said that (and i have said this before), there are many individuals that make money by purchasing riskier companies that have fallen out of favour; on that note I am pretty certain the same will hold true for NKA and FGP.
A person who [believes he] has the ability to analyze a company and form an opinion on the sustainability of a dividend/profit/business strategy surely doesn't need help checking the dividend yield in the first place.
Yes if a person believes he can do what you suggest he/she would need no help, but what about someone who is just starting. By telling this individual in the beginning that he/she needs to take responsibility you are teaching someone to fish as opposed to feeding them for life. Potentially by putting an article where it looks like the writer knows everythign one runs the risk of pushing an investor into a wrong stock even though everything looks fine. Take WFC for example, it has very little exposure to European debt but it is still getting hammered in the same manner as banks that do have higher exposure to European debt for example JPM. Also remember that most experts get it wrong as can be seen by the many flipping positions analysts following a stock take and they usually change position when its too late.
Secondly and perhaps more importantly, how would you check the dividend rate if you were not even aware of the company in the first place.
I am not downplaying the potential risks involved with higher yields or pumping these stocks, if that was the case the strong worded disclaimer would not be there.
You are offering your views based on the type of investor you are, there are many who have opposing views. It comes down to investor risk tolerance and that is something the individual should determine. Many contrarians I know do very well by opening up positions in stocks where for lack of a better word, everything stinks. Their time lines are short and in many cases some of them are even able to capture some dividends.
No one buys a house based on recommendation now matter how good it might sound without taking a look at the place, the neighborhood, etc. On the same token good investors or those want to become better investors should not put their confidence into so called experts who in general are more often wrong then right. If this were not true. the majority would be winning and this is clearly not the case.
ALEX has been paying dividends for decades I think you are wrong when you state that the dividends are all going to disappear.
Many players do and can make money from taking on extra risk. it comes down to individual choice and also one's investment time lines. What you might consider to be a good play another might find as boring because of the rate of return, etc is just too low for their liking.
Thank you for commenting. The information was obtained from http://bit.ly/sNgGC5. This is why the disclaimer explicitly states that the info should be checked as it is possible certain sources might not always be accurate. However, it would have been much better if you provided a link for other readers instead of simply attacking.

You are absolutely correct. There are those who will always try to game the system and the more loopholes there are, the more tempting it becomes to follow this path. What I was suggesting was a small step in the right direction because to date our goverment has taken many massive steps in the right direction. And the ones in power will do everything possible to resist change. I suspect the larger the change the higher the level of resistance.

Perhaps a solution would be something of a hybrid version of the two. A flat tax with the option of itemizing deductions for those who want to take that route might be the way to go. Off course all unnecessary loopholes would have to be eliminated. Somehow I don't something like this will come to pass soon.

If you dig deeper into the dot.com mania you will see how many questionable stocks the big bankers pumped and even pushed towards their clients all in the hopes of walking away with huge profits as many of them were paid with stock and also purchased a large portion of shares for next to nothing; these shares were then dumped at a huge profit. in many cases IPO's tripled in value in less than a month. in some cases overnight.
