        <![CDATA[Why in the world am I going to sell perfectly good dividend paying stocks because someone long ago came up with this somewhat silly phrase. Where do I go to replace these dividends? In cash, in CD's, in Treasuries? I don't think so. I bought these things because I did my homework (do diligence) and I think what I bought is good to go. So for me it's keep what I got in May and use the divi's to add on dips. ]]>

        <![CDATA[Alan, enjoyed the article. I too own quite a few MLP's  in my IRA and others in a regular account. I have never seen an investment that has generated more articles and comments when it comes to where these things should be held. My personal opinion is that a good investment should be held wherever you have the available funds to own it. I am not one to be overly concerned about taxes since it is hard as hell to avoid them but maybe just put them off for a while, hopefully until I'm dead, then the rest be damned.]]>

      <title>Trading volume in LinnCo (LNCO -0.3%) ticks up to 1.1M shares vs. average daily volume of 869K, perhaps due to Jim Cramer's apparent endorsement via Twitter. Earlier this week, Linn Energy (LINE -1.5%), owned by LNCO, said it cleared an antitrust hurdle to buy Berry Petroleum (BRY) for $4.3B; the deal was announced last month and is expected to close by the end of June.</title>

They are a one party State, democrat, they have decided to do anything to be able to boast about their AAA rating. To that end the sorry politicians are willing to tax the hell out of its citizens. This is one of the criteria that the bond rating houses look at when doing their ratings. I also have a large holding of NMY simply as a way of getting a small portion of my taxes back. ]]>

        <![CDATA[Why did you pick these two instead of 50 or so, other just as respectable MLP's that pay good distributions and are growing as well, if not better, than these two. Sorry, not much meat in your article. ]]>

        <![CDATA[Wow!!!!! After slowly reading through this article, and all of these outstanding comments, I think I'll just take two Excedrin and wash it down with a double Johnny Walker. Then I will continue to own the MLP's and other investment vehicles I think are worthy of my money, receive the distributions, divi's, etc. and let my accountant worry about the rest. The idiots in Washington be damned!!]]>
