    The regulators have failed and failed and failed and failed and failed and failed. Why? Because the answer and solution they use every time is the same. It never changes. They are manipulating this crisis to their eventual takeover now of all banks, not just the failing ones. How's that for a fix. We control the money the money supply, the rates on the money, when and who gets the money, how much to spend of the money and soon they will be taking all our money and yours. This takeover of the banks does a huge thing for the politicians: if that happens the banks and IRS will be blended to automatically confiscate any sign of wealth you may be accumulating in a manner they might not approve of. Although our money says "for all debts public and private", this has not been true for a long time. Not since the IRS and Congress took such wide view control over collection and rights to and of course estimated quarterly (Ie. weekly payroll taxes)tax payments to them. They have grown so accustomed to this pilage and plunder every last cent they think is left out here, they have started to eat their own tail so to speak. Soon there will be nothing left but nothing. Total deflation is almost upon us and actually is in stocks and the other markets. It is too bad too. All they had to do, and they knew this and so did those few in Congress that tried to hold out against this felonious money grab from the taxpayers, all needed was a few changes in some of the accounting laws that prevent these large companies from absorping the losses in their wholly owned subsidiaries and the repeal of all the capital gains tax at all levels. Instead they ran through this poop noodle law with so much in earmarks and pork it makes me want to go to washington DC and just find a group of our elected officials and begin uncontrolably vomiting and spewing monumentous amounts of chunk all over them. I would hope this impossible feat would I be able to maintain for at least 10 whole minutes. Chasing them and spewing ridiculous amounts of bile and spunge clods upon their heads and persons completely and thoroughly soaking all who have ever written in an earmark or subsidy or a handout to a lobbying group all the way through clothing to the skin with puke. I think that might make alot of us feel better and would get the message across that we as a Nation are fed up with how our lives are being ruined by their innane repetitous inept (but carefully planned to benefit them) policies that do not help anyone in this country without it benefitting themself. Yes they make me sick. They should do the same to you and I hope I see you there vomiting your spew chunks of bile upon another many shamefull disrespecting politicians. Do it at the local and state level too cause those idiots have been copying Main St. all along. Puke Puke and puke some more.

    Barf for change. Barf for change. Barf for change. Barf for change.

    I was wondering if a hedge fund blew-up of if a large account had a margin call???????? The MLPs were hitting really new lows and look to be a good buying opportunity, too bad we have to stay on the sidelines for a while. With this market new "opportunities&qu... are surfacing each day!!! Reply

    1. Regarding the comments to the writer's opinion statement of 24/7 printing presses for the social system, he is right on the 'money'. 'Money', as defined generally in dictionary, is "something generally accepted as a medium of exchange, a measure of value". Well, to be frank, and back to the 24/7 comment ... folks, we ain't got any 'money' these days. With the presses working overtime, and for the past several decades, we have 'PAPER'. No gold standard, no silver notes, etc. as we did several generations ago ... thanks to 'Tricky Dicky' of course.
    2. Regarding blame ... yes it is spread out all over the political landscape ... but, to be frank (aka BARNEY FRANK ), the massive blame belongs in the Demo. camp. Without ALL of the social welfare programs that began in the Roosevelt years, this country would be in much better shape. With all the aid to the leaches of this country, there is no hope. Unfortunately due to the human psychic, 'FREE" is the word of the day-decade-year-whatev... For thousands of years welfare was extremely limited. Not any more! Sit on your butt...get your welfare check ...have more babies to get more checks, on and on and on. Tax and spend is the motto of the far left so that the country, as we are, will go belly up ... then they can sieze power and put all their idols in office. Thank goodness I am an elder person and won't be around to see the chaos that is just over the horizine ...all thanks to the Demo. far left idiots.

    For safety, stick with the midstream MLP's that basically don't rely on gas prices. They get paid a fee for moving gas, in most cases. In some cases they get paid a percentage of what they move, which would make them sensitive to gas prices. Enterprise is a good one.

    Also like LINE and LGCY, former being "gassy" and the latter being "oily". paying in the 15-20% range. LGCY is very conservative and doesn't take a leveraged extra "cut" like Kinder does. The guy running it is "good people", principled kind of guy from Midland TX. Not a slickster like others.     Reply

    oldtrdr, you're absolutely right. My mistake. It is a trust. High dividends like the others, similar business, but not an MLP. Wasn't thinking. Reply

    CT,

    PGH is a Canroy, NOT a MLP, (I used to own it...currently in PVX and PWE in Canroys). Seems like a lot of people get the 2 things mixed up. Canroys won't cause accounting problems within an IRA, MLPs might.     Reply

    Plains All American, PAA. It has a low debt/equity ratio - excellent company. It is hard not to be fearful when the slide is so quick and abrupt. I think it is time to reinstate the Uptick Rule - too many good stocks getting slaughtered. Reply

    MLPs were definitely on sale today -- huge intraday moves all across the board. Not knowing if I had to own it overnight, I had a huge gain in TYY. Other guys I knew loved the EEP opportunity they cashed in on. Still a huge amount of value for long term MLP investors. Reply

    I worked for Transco/Williams for 25 years. My old boss, an insider, just plunked down $300,000 on wpz in the open market. He is a very sharp guy and businessman. I own about $200,000 of these things, EPD,ETP,LINE,APL,EROC,... and the trusts SJT,HGT,PBT,BPT. I am way too concentrated in these things but I see almost no alternative in this market, and I agree with a previous poster that we have here a once in a generation opportunity thanks to overleveraged hegdefunds, the recent decline in NG, and the preception of risk due to these guys heavy debt and capital requirements. I also think people have been conditioned to fear any stock with what appears to be perhaps an unsustainable dividend, ala 20% for example. However we know these are not "normal" companies but the back bone of the NG infrastructure. Will they go down further? It appears so. Will they have to cut payouts to fund projects, perhaps tempoarily. But I contend, and I have bet nearly half my savings on it and will buy more when things settle down a bit, that if you are willing to hold these guys through this credit AND energy demand cycle which may take 5 years, that you will enjoy 20 - 40% annual returns. Will the ride be rough, probably. But these guys give you money to spend if need be while you wait out the crazyness. So best you can ignore the volitility, and when these guys are rediscovered dont be in hurry to sell when they get back to their old highs in a few years. Remember what you paid for them and your effective yield. There is going to be an explosion of natural gas usage in the country - GO BOONE and AUBRY. These companies for the most part only care about the put. Reply

    FYI, about 10AM this morning you could've bought this basket and made around 10% by the close, for some reason they all got crushed early on with at least one down by 20%.

    I agree that these are great buys, but I would add a cautionary note to buy only those with a lower debt to equity ratio, ( easily accessed on Yahoo finance) this group of MLPs yields around 10% but seem to be a little more stable. Reply

    without tough accountability built into legislation -capitalist or (spit sideways) socialist, its very hard to prevent the legislation from being sooner or later abused and end up counterprductive. whats missing is not just the right philosophy but realism to provide strict accountability built into the laws so that whoever is charged with implementation has to make it work the way it was intended or else the blaim and severe repercussions are automatic. in other words in a good system the top management of FNM etc should have all resigned citing the impossibility of juggling subprime with safe banking Reply

    Oh, quick note... I promise this is it then I'm out of here. When looking at PGH, they kick out dividends monthly, not quarterly, so just looking at their dividend amount is misleading. It's currently at 23% annually based on today's price. Reply
