Energy Infrastructure MLPs: Among the Very Best High Dividend Stocks

I am now totally confused about what my exposure is for getting into trouble with the Intrenal Revenue Service about dividends that MLP's pay into my IRA.

Chesapeake Energy: Natural Gas Supply Responds to Price

Chesapeak (CHK) is certainly a compelling story. If everything goes according to projected production, their position in natural gas will rival Petrobras's Santos Basin oil potential.
