Much better to cherry pick individual MLPs

the MLP etfs allow you to buy the industry. It can reduce yield a bit, but it also decreases volatility. I think that a 6+% dividend is quite nice to boot.

36% premium? Is that accurate? Doesn't appear so according to Bloomberg.

It's not hard to find MLPs that do well as a
dividend play. Some MLPs have also shown the
ability to grow.
I prefer to stick to one stock at a time, rather
than buying 'soup to nuts' ETFs.
Be your own judge, as you can easily loose money
either way, and you can also make money, if you pay
attention to the details.

I have been investing in MLP stocks since 2007. Through the financial crisis these stocks did suffer losses but their distributions limited that. Kinder Morgan Partners, Linn Energy and Enterprise Energy Partners are my prime investments in this area and have greatly appreciated in value and increased distributions regularly over this period of time. In addition these are a tax advantaged investments.
