Kinder Morgan, Inc. (NYSE:KMI)

With the new oil and gas capacity in the US, the chance to negoitate higher prices for the pipeline capacity when the existing lines come up for renewal will be good. I consider this a better investment that the underlying partnership (KMP) because the general partner (KMI) captures a lion's share of the growth in revenue.

Payout is high, PE is high, LT Debt/equity is high, ROI, ROE is low.

more gas

This company holds down the driver's seat in a race to clean energy. Management is smart and will handle the newly acquired debt put on the sheet through the El Paso acquisition with precision.

In the energy market - good enough for me...

Because of the new activity in the oil and gss fields and the increased fracturing . I think they will be transporting alot of oill and gas in future years.

GAS. GAS. GAS. In a few years most commercial vehicles and some private will be utilizing the most abundant, clean energy source in the U.S. Kmi stands to control much of the movement of this vital commodity.

Natural Gas Play. Future in trucking and public transportation.

Natural gas + dividend

I think the overall market will move sideways for the next few years. But KMI has the potential to continue to improve its margins and gain market share.

A good pipeline company should see growing profits over an extended period with the increase in oil and gas production expected due to "fracking" technology!

A nice monopoly on natural gas pipe lines once owned by Enron. This is the nation's fourth largest energy company.

I never gone wrong with a Kinder Morgan position.

Rich Kinder and his team are solid gold and now being in on the general partner side_ love it, these guys are supreme deal makers.

Great pick for 3-4 years out and get paid nice dividend while you wait. Pipeline will be gold

Unedited excerpt from a CAPSCall article anticipated for publication on 28-DEC-2012:

The next selection for the newly launched Inflation-Protected Income Growth Portfolio is pipeline giant Kinder Morgan (NYSE: KMI). This pick is part of one of the most complicated corporate structures out there and a stock that has only recently been re-offered to the public. The overall company’s reputation for dividend payment and growth, rather than this particular stock’s, provides the key reasons to believe that the dividend will continue to rise.

This particular stock only been public for a bit less than two years, though it did have a prior stint as a publicly traded company before being taken private in a leveraged buyout. The company’s other two primary parts, Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (NYSE: KMP) and Kinder Morgan Management (NYSE: KMR) have longer continuous public histories and decent track records of dividend payment and growth. With its recent acquisition of El Paso Pipeline Partners (NYSE: EPB), Kinder Morgan is now the largest midstream energy company in North America.

The KMI shares own the general partner behind the pipeline empire and get an incentive distribution for that role. That incentive distribution is the key reason to believe the KMI stock can quickly establish itself as a strong member of the dividend growth community.

Disclosure: I currently own KMR shares.

Solid buy with asset purchases.

Well diversified company with a big presence in the growing natural gas industry. 60% of its 62,000 miles of nat gas pipeline is regulated providing steady cash flows for investors.
The company is also involved in the terminal business. Recently made a deal with Peabody to ship coal out of the U.S. I believe this business has a lot of opportunity to grow based on growing demand in China and India for coal along with shrinking demand in the U.S.
Their CO2 business should grow with the price of oil increasing, which makes EOR a more justifiable expense for oil producers.
Management is very stockholder friendly, and always acts with investors in mind.
