Natural Gas CDS Equity Spreads: Volatile

When will the auto makers learn to build dual fuel vehicles? Its pretty simple and is done in Brazil. Natural gas is not the total answer because it can't produce enough horsepower to climb steep hills but with today's autos that are controlled by computers it would be a very simple thing to produce dual fuel cars that when the extra horsepower is needed, gasoline is used in conjunction with natural gas to produce the HP required.

3 Energy MLPs for the Price of One

Funny, I own several MLP's inside my IRA and the nice thing is you don't need to fill out the Schedule K or anything else. When you withdraw from the IRA you are taxed only on the funds withdrawn. I take withdrawals as I need, monthly from the income. I try to invest only in companies that pay over 6% and the average of all investment income must be over 8%. This will generate enough income that even after the RMD there is some money left to invest in other companies. I diversify enough that my monthly income is about the same month to month. Thanks for the article.

Kinder Morgan's Dividend Payout Rate Is Unsustainable

How about an analysis of the oil tanker business. FRO, NAT, VLCCF etc. I like your thinking but I still own and have owned MLP's for over 5 years and they almost all have treated me well. Check out APU and SPH. Both I've owned for 5 years and they are Up 20% + since I bought them.

Why Dividend Investors View Stocks Differently

My experienceis as follows. I retired in the spring of 2002 with a nice buyout. I almost instantly lost 25% because of the market. I started management of this money that I put into an IRA. The value of that IRA has grown to over four times the original amount. At one point not too long ago it was worth over 5 times. My secret is very simple, I invest only in stocks that have a minimum of 5% or more. Invest those div's. in other stocks. I invest only into stocks have a five year div growth history except some which div is quite volitile. I then look into what causes this volitility to make a decision. I've had some losers too, but not many. Right now is a great time to get into the oil related companies.
