Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE:EPD)

Well managed, solid earnings and dividend growth. EPD will really help your retirement plans.

great dividends and expanding nicely

EPD has added a hat trick to my portfolios. An increase in value,dividend, and a K-1.

Someone should note that master limited partnerships pay distributions that are reported on K-1's and not dividends reported on at 1099s. And there are other tax differentials. One should go to the www.naptp.org [National Association of Publibly Traded Partnerships] web site and get the primer on MLPs before making a purchase. I like EPD, but I like ETP, CPNO, MWE, HLDN, PAA and APL better at this time based on valuations. And one should base their valuations on distributable cash flow and not EPS.

Master limited partnership, baby

It’s an all win situation for Enterprise Resources Partners, the number one master limited partnership operating in the US midstream energy sector. The Company operates oil and natural gas pipelines in the US, generating revenues by rendering services to the upstream and downstream segments.

The Company has made a series of acquisition starting with the GulfTerra acquisition in 2004, which has made it the number one. Further, the recent acquisition of Cerrito Gathering Company will give a boost to its top-line. The exploration and production companies are drilling oil in the hard to reach areas of the Gulf of Mexico and the Rocky Mountain Region. These companies will require oil and natural gas to be moved out from these areas to the refineries. Recently, the company’s Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline System started receiving natural gas and natural gas liquids form the Gulf of Mexico fields. Volumes have increased and will further see an augment as the fields reach full production.

Partners, L.P. a kind of a special purpose vehicle created by the company. EPD will retain 35.2% limited partner interest in the company, while, the remaining 62.8% will be offered to the public. Duncan Energy will raise $313.95 million and will pay EPD $421 million for its assets. Further, EPD will also possess the controlling 2% general partner interest in Duncan. The Company has recently announced to transfer its matured assets to Duncan Energy, this move will leave EPD with a handsome amount of liquidity. Going ahead, this cash will help the company to acquire new assets without increasing leverage. In the recent future, EPD will make a big leap and will shine brighter in the dark sky.

natural gas demand outruns supply

A great energy play that isn't subject to the volatility that is generally characteristic of other energy stocks. Insiders have been buying this stock for months. It pays a dividend of almost 7%, and they have steadily increased their dividend payout. I predict that the dividend alone will beat the S & P 500.

I started buying this in the low 24s, but I still think this stock is worth it where it is right now. I've chased higher yields with other stocks, and I have found there is a reason for the high yields - they're risky. This company has a high yield, because it makes lots of cash. Since it is an MLP, they pay it all back to the shareholders.

Perhaps the biggest downside to this stock is the accounting headache at tax time. You also can't own it in a roth IRA and other tax advantaged accounts.
