Midstream MLPs Crashing, Present Opportunity

PIcking point on KMP, which I am long. They raise their distribution almost every quarter, and indeed raised the distribution 3% form 2nd quarter 08 to third quarter 08. However, the raise from 3rd quarter 07 to 3rd quarter 08 was 16%, which is quite representative of what they have been doing over the last several years. Otherwise, great article.

Happy Customers Don't Change Their Web Browsers

I agree with you, and I kept with IE for years. However, recently IE6 and IE7 were blowing up daily, half the time because of problems with Flash. That fits my definition of "broken".
Perhaps this problem has been fixed, but I don't know. I finally switched to Firefox and I've been happily using it ever since.

The Google Godzilla: Will This Stock Double In Two Years?

GOOG is currently growing at 30% (5-yr forward growth est. from Yahoo Finance) and it has a 30 multiple. If GOOG grows at 30% the next two years (fairly conservative since they grew at 60%+ over the last year) and the multiple doesn't decrease, then GOOG should be worth almost 70% more than it is today. Not a double, but I'll take it.
