There is at least one interesting growth company in Italy. It is Eni (E). They recently made a game changing gas discovery offshore Moxambique that will put them in a position to be a major LNG source by 2016. Also, look for companies like APC and STO to joint venture with them in developing the huge potential of Eastern Africa.
Marathon Oil And Chesapeake Still Undervalued, Still Strong Buys [View article]
Poor choice for a spec. CHK is drowning in acreage costs and a landman acting like a Boston banker. As for XOM, simply dead money for several more years. Their dividend rate is below inflation...the sorry part is that they could do better. They just don't give a damn about the retail shareholder. For a real spec, try APC or GPOR. They are going for a big win in the Ohio Utica oil shale sector.

Have you checked out the Cushing MLP Total Return Fund (SRV). It is currently paying a cash distribution of 9.7%, net of fees and expenses. Their portfolio is diversified and no K-1 is issued. What's not to like?
Global's new MLP fund sounds like what I have been looking for, no K-1 and well diversified. If it can compete with the SRV fund's net cash distribution of 8.5%, I am in.

Diversify and then watch them all sink or rise together. What help is that? The stock market has only two buttons....BUY or SELL, the stock all follow like lemming, diversified or not.

What accounting firm audits Chesapeake? That must be a very dangerous endeavor...... a "slippery slope" if there was ever was one. As a retired auditor, I found that if top management wants to circumvent or evade ugly disclosures, it is difficult to do your job honestly.

FTR has been the toy bouncing ball of short sellers for a very long time. The more they sell, the more they collect. What a wonderful world! I dream of the day when we get a dividend increase and destroy the shorts.
SRV is an income type fund....not a grower like KMP.Your chart comparison illustrates that. However, I own it for the great cash distribution, not growth. Steady NAV is good enough.
You can hold MLPs in an IRA safely (no K-1) and collect a steady quarterly cash distribution (about 9% yield). I am retired and am in this fund for income without any tax hassels to worry about. The fund: The Cushing MLP Total Return Fund, ticker: SRV.
