I will sell the MLPS when they get to Cap Value of zero, and re-start, avoiding double tax on distributions. May buy a little to hold off zero.
No really telling what the ultimate rise in rates will do until it happens. I plan to Stop Out, and watch for a while. Who knows, Bonds might be a buy again.

As KED follows the MLPS mentioned, it seems it might be ok for my IRA vs an MLP.

Agree, MLPS in Taxable acct, are a better choice. Long CLMT,PVR,EPD,VNR,LINE,OKS KMR,EEQ,PAA,ETP

Based on this article, if seems to me, that I could sell now, and miss the double taxation, enjoy a great profit, pay minimum[small %] tax due to bringing forth large passive losses, and then buy in again, in a dip, and start the game all over.

Am I missing something?
My understanding is no taxes to IRA beneficiary[not when received], but when distributions are taken? Also, beneficiary has to pay RMD each year.

Sorry, I'm not getting through, my fault. I certainly agree there is risk, and the reality of UTBI.

My real query is, besides yearly UBTI, what would you say the "potential future tax issue" with MLPS in IRAs is--ie when sold or transferred, etc The material you proposed is very general in nature.

Please follow up. with specific reason[s], why you both say, not to put MLPS in an IRA. Many opinions, why not, w/o reasons.
The yearly UBTI is a pretty basic routine, and not significant, even if tax is due.
Let's have more info?
