Penn West Buffers Its Balance Sheet

Whatever the case, it's fun to compare LINE to the stocks you've been recommending over the last year. Looks like it's beaten them by about 40%.

Linn Energy: Safe Dividends, Speculative Upside

Sorry Paul, you're completely wrong. They have hedged for 4 years out - 100% for the first 3 years. Their basis hedges go six years into the futures. They have no need to put any more hedges in place for at least two years.

They are NOT primarily NG. That's a bunch of crap. They are 48% NG.

Huh? Wulff was suggesting that LINE investors should "seriously consider switching to other income stocks." IOW, he would have had them sell at $11.20. The stock closed at $14.98 today. That's really bad advice even for Wulff.

For a long time he has been ranting against KMP. Yet, if you had bought it when he was trashing it, you would have outperformed the market and his own recommendations by double-digits. Wulff's problem is that Rich Kinder once humiliated him for being completely ignorant during a conference call.

<<<Linn Energy Energy (LINE) has derivative contracts that pay oil and gas prices higher than the current futures prices, but similar hedging has not insulated Encore Energy Partners (ENP), nor PWE, PGH and ERF from steep stock price declines.>>>
LINE is 100% hedged for 4 years. Most of these other names (particularly the Canroys) are only hedged for 1 or 2 years and only at 20%-30%.

Firesale in Oil and Gas (Upstream) Limited Partnerships

These stocks do seem to have a good floor under them because of their hedging strategies. The time to buy may be upon us....
