MLPs in 2009: Fundamentals Remain Strong

In addition to MLPs that move oil and gas, there is another whole class called Exploration and Production MLPs that actually produce oil and gas. They are also distribution oriented, and seek mature, low depletion properties that produce steadily. Many have decades worth of reserves. When you add the fact that they hedge their future production for years ahead, you get very solid, income producing companies. With yields north of 15%, there are certainly few if any other investments that promise such high and steady gains.

In the markets over the next few years, it is going to be hard to make significant money from capital gains. You may not make a "killing" from income stocks, but you will be amply rewarded.
