Despite Dedicated ETFs, No Reliable Way to Play Natural Gas

Why not take the attractive yields offered by the likes of SJT, HGT, and DMLP and wait?

StatOil: Attractive Investment with a Big Dividend

A much smaller bite than the Canadian O&G Trusts take out.

MLPs: Profits in the Pipelines?

I agree with the above comments and the article, except that Kinder Morgan frequently puts the LPs last. I am long a number of them, especially DMLP. Tax time is no more daunting than reporting gains (or losses) on securities sales.

Three Items That Will Signal a Crude Recovery

You are right, of course, but why not look at O&G Trusts, say, as a way to get a good return while waiting for the economy and sentiment to turn around? At current prices, these Trusts won't throw off 13%, but they will beat the piddling 1-3% available elsewhere. And, you own something that will not be devaluing like the dollar, and you still have the price appreciation when the turnaround comes.

I am long HGT and SJT. Obamanos.
