Atlas Pipeline Partners: A Painful Lesson in MLP Investing

Good article and great advise about understanding investment before investing.
I own a couple of MPL's and think you may be characterizing all MPL's poorly in light of a specific attribute of APL. APL had its revenue and margin highly tied to commodity prices. Sopme MPL's revenue and margins are not at all or not very highly tied to commodity prices and their business model is they get paid fixed prices on volume of product shipped and not tied to commodity prices.

Again thanks for great insight.

Atlas Pipeline: As Dividend Continues, Why Is Stock Falling?

I understood APL's financial model is they do not just charge by the amount of product pumped but their revenue is some how tied to the price of the product, thus if gas prices decline, for the same amount of product pumped, does APL's revenue declines.

If this is the case their market value would somehow be tied to gas prices, which I believe have been declining.
