  • Bargain Stocks Amid Declining Gas Prices

    By Jacob Wolinsky - May 20, 2013 | Tickers: APL, BWP, OILT

    Slowing inflation is surely bringing some respite to U.S. consumers as they are left with more money to spend. The main reason behind inflation falling to a two-and-a-half year low is the 8.1% drop in gas prices during April. Due to booming domestic hydrocarbon production, our dependence on foreign oil has decreased massively and oil prices are in no hurry to run up. This does not benefit oil more »

    Loews (NYSE: L) is considered a diversified holding company, with a high concentration in the insurance and oil/gas industry. After recently releasing its 13F filing, I decided to check up on Loews top three holdings. Loews key subsidiaries includes CNA Financial (NYSE: CNA), Boardwalk Pipeline Partners (NYSE: BWP) and Diamond Offshore Drilling (NYSE: DO).

  • Finding Yield in a Yield Free World: Midstream MLP’s

    By Peter Pham - March 31, 2013 | Tickers: AMLP, BWP, CMLP, PAA

    Master limited partnerships (MLPs), particularly those related to the midstream oil and gas sector, have become a popular form of investment vehicle due to their distinctive structure, relatively high yield in a near-zero interest rate environment and unique tax benefits. However, some investors avoid MLPs due to their complex tax filing needs and instead prefer investing in exchange traded funds (ETFs) that are comprised of MLPs. This option has its more »

  • Income Investing: High Yield Bets on Natural Gas Transportation

    By John Macris - December 13, 2012 | Tickers: BWP, KMI, KMP, KMR, L

    The topic of domestic energy production served as a highlight of the recent Presidential election, with both candidates presenting strong opinions on the matter. Governor Romney spoke aggressively about the importance of increasing offshore oil production, including drilling in the mid-Atlantic, as well as greater coal production. In contrast to Romney, President Obama spent most of his time on the defensive, citing an increase in domestic oil production during his more »

  • Digging Deep into Five Picks by Jim Cramer

    By Dr. Osman Gulseven - November 13, 2012 | Tickers: ABT, BWP, FTR, JCP, SHLD, VVUS

    First aired in 2005, Mad Money is one of the most popular finance shows on air. Jim Cramer, the host and former hedge fund manager, presents all manner of investing advice.

Here, I review more »

  • Looking for Dividends and Growth

    By Andrés Cardenal - July 9, 2012 | Tickers: BWP, EPD

    On most occasions investors need to choose between high dividend yields or exciting growth possibilities, because companies with the best growth prospects usually trade at below average dividend yields. But every rule has its exceptions, and I believe Boardwalk Pipeline Partners (NYSE: BWP) may perfectly well be one example.

    Boardwalk is a master limited partnership, this kind of companies has the tax benefits of limited partnerships, but the liquidity advantages more »

  • Big Yield Opportunity

    By Dave Zaegel - June 25, 2012 | Tickers: BWP, ETP, KMP, MMP

    Sometimes big opportunities lie in the places that aren’t viewed as sexy by most people.  Consider the case of Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (NYSE: KMP), a pipeline transportation and storage company, among other things.  If you want to find out how unsexy this company is, listen to its quarterly conference calls.  It is loaded with details about each of its segments.  For an analyst, it can be heavenly.  For more »

  • 2 Stocks that Make Bond Investors Look Foolish

    By Justin Carley - May 31, 2012 | Tickers: AMLP, BWP, EPB, EPD, L | Editor's Choice

    Natural gas prices are up 45% from their April low!  Is this the start of the coming surge that just had to happen ever since the price broke below $5, $4, $3, $2?  Not likely.  I detailed in a mid-April piece to stay clear of E&P companies with heavy reliance on natural gas.  It is still early and the context was based on a time horizon on two or more »
