Vanguard Natural Resources (VNR) -4.4% premarket after announcing a public offering of 6M common units at $27.51 each, representing limited liability company interests. Net proceeds will be used to pay down outstanding debt under VNR’s senior secured revolving credit facility. [View news story]
Only for the second quarter as VNR allocated 40% of its annual capital expenditures during that quarter and these expenditures made no contribution to the distributable cash flow during the quarter. Management estimates DCR coverage of 125% for 2012 and 135% for 2013.

Thank you for including distributable cash flow comparison for this MLP.

I own AT in an IRA and no tax is withheld by e*trade; it is withheld in my taxable account but by US/Canada treaty is credited to my US tax liability when I file form 1116.
I disagree - EPS is not an important metric for MLPs and should not therefore be the headline banner for quarterly reports for an MLP. Rather, distributable cash flow is the important metric for an MLP and its growth or contraction is key to an investment decision. As stated in today's Energy Strategist live chat by Elliottt Gue concerning LINE : "the wire services continue to report earnings numbers which are meaningless for Linn". Your comment is way off base though commonly shared by the uninformed.

Good perspective. For longer term investors the "action advice": "For cash not needed, bias reliable income producing assets tied to the above stronger currencies or safe havens" is solid. In my view, this encompasses solid, dividend paying Canadian equities (read PBA, ATGFF, ARESF etc.). Thanks Cliff.
Occasionally, when boredom prevails and the gambling itch becomes pronounced (a "virtual" Las Vegas anywhere my computer is) I may enter a "trade" (looking for a short term cash win). However, as reason must not be abandoned even in Las Vegas, I will never trade an equity that I am not very familiar with and if the trade does not work out that I would not be satisfied to hold as a longer term investment - thus postponing my "win", even if not as exciting as the immediate thrill of a winning throw of the dice.

KMP as an MLP is already tax efficient as "dividends" are largely return of capital thus mitigating tax liability until the shares are sold. I am uncertain as to whether dividends paid as shares are also considered the same way (return of capital) though I suspect they are. The major advantages of KMR are its lower cost for equivalent dividends and the absence of a K-1.
Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (KMP): Q1 EPS of $0.61 misses by $0.02. Revenue of $1.8B (-3% Y/Y) misses by $0.5B. Shares -0.7% AH. (PR) [View news story]
As has been repeatedly written about and again emphasized by Richard Kinder in the conference call, EPS is not the important metric for an MLP - rather it is distributable cash flow from which dividends are paid. This metric was up 13%, thus allowing yet another increase in dividends.
