    Taxation depends on the particular MLP. It tends to vary between 60% and 100% deferred taxation (via reduction in cost basis). Some MLPs who are in heavy investment phases (e.g. LINE) will have 100% deferral. Others, like TPP, are closer to 70%.

    As long as you brought up Master Limited Partnerships (e.g., EEP), tell me how you classify your distributions for tax reporting purposes. I understand the distributions are not taxable, but they decrease the cost basis of your shares. Reply

    Those are some excellent suggestions. Pipeline MLPs, such as EEP and TPP, tend to have very stable income with revenue guaranteed many years out. Some other to consider are OKS and EPD. Upstream (E&p) MLPs are slightly riskier, but offer excellent yields: LINE, CEP. Reply

    I agree, Calamos is topnotch. I too, generally shy away from closed end funds. But, I made an exception and have been holding CHY for several years. Reply
