Great dividend! In the next few years where do YOU think the price of oil will go? The declining oil reserves in Prudhoe Bay may be a concern in the long term, near and mid term the undeniable upward trend in oil prices will keep this pick trending… More

First, everyone talks about the "dividend." It's a distribution from the trust based on the royalties the trust receives from its interest in producing wells in the Prudhoe Bay field of Alaska. Production in Prudhoe Bay peaked in 1988. It… More

1st it's oil, 2nd it's Nat Gas

That's what many here forget, they're concentrating so much on oil, but there's more to this.

3rd The dividend is about 9% at this point, and not too convinced it's going away anytime soon.

Finally, a little read here

The BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust (NYSE: BPT) is a United States oil and natural gas royalty trust based in New York, New York. With a market capitalization of US$ 1.6 billion in early 2008, and an average trading volume of 121,000 shares, BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust is the largest conventional oil and gas trust in the United States. Its assets are in the huge Prudhoe Bay Oil Field, the largest oil field in North America, and at the end of 2006 the Trust claimed to have proved reserves of 85.1 million barrels of crude oil.

The only problem with this is will it outperform the S&P, and I think it'll ride along with it, and obviously this really isn't a Growth stock per se, it's more of a dividend, but I wouldn't rate this a thumbs down at all if it didn't keep up with the S&P...the dividends alone could make up for any lost growth in the stock itself...in other words i think it's a great buy at these prices, and if it goes down by more, or just enjoy the 9% on your money. Where else can you find that with a potential to grow.

Talking to services company exec, many producers have stopped pumping and/or capped wells indicitive of possible physical supply shortage next 6-9 months, further indicating a non-speculative run-up in oil, of course, enhanced by money inflows.

In the past year I've received $7.34 in dividends per share. At around $70/share, you're looking at a 10% annual dividend. I don't see why that would change over the next 5 years...
