    Diamondback Energy (NASDAQ: FANG) is a junior oil and gas producer which is most likely unknown for most investors. Why? Because it held its IPO in October 2012. The truth is that the stock has a positive momentum lately. Does this rosy stock performance match the company's fundamentals?

  • 3 Phillips 66 Partners, Good Investments in Their Own Right?

    By Robert Zimmerman - April 3, 2013 | Tickers: EEP, MMP, PSX, NGLS

    Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) recently announced deals with three companies to increase the supply of North American crude oil to Phillips’ refineries.

While these deals are important to Phillips, they have their own respectable businesses, too. Let’s take a look at them.

  • 5 Quality Energy MLP's for 2013 and Beyond

    By Brad Prigmore - March 5, 2013 | Tickers: CLMT, EPD, MMP, MPLX, NTI

    Outlook Remains Positive for 2013

    Energy Master Limited Partnerships started off exceptionally strong in 2013, although the main contributing factor could simply be a resolution to the fiscal cliff impasse and investors’ interpretation that the deal reduces MLP taxation risk. Despite this strong early year showing, I believe MLP's fundamentals remain solid for several factors.

    By Jon Quast - November 27, 2012 | Tickers: CX, FTI, LINTA, MMP, PNR

    My personal portfolio is a little small-cap heavy right now.  So I've been doing some research to get a little more diversification.  In my article The Best of the Big Boys, I explored which of the five largest publicly traded companies offers the best investing opportunity to buy and hold investors.  In a similar fashion, I want to explore some mid-cap stocks.  Mid-cap companies are companies with a $1- more »

  • Five MLPs to Consider

    By Damon Churchwell - November 26, 2012 | Tickers: BPL, ETP, MMP, PAA, WPZ

    Master Limited Partnerships (MLP's) are companies with ownership structures such that each shareholder is a partner, and is typically entitled to distributions equal to his or her proportional net income. Accordingly, limited partners, or shareholders, usually receive generous yields on their investments. 

    Because their revenues are derived from natural resources, oil and natural gas pipeline operators are often organized as MLPs. If you are an income-seeking investor who is more »

  • The Presidential Guessing Game

    By Ryan Guenette - October 31, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, KMB, MMP

    Do you know who will win the presidential election on November 6? How about the Scott Brown versus Elizabeth Warren race for Senate in Massachusetts? I have no idea. I can only base anything on reports, projections, and polls. Recent Washington Post polls have shown Romney pulling ahead with a 1% advantage; however, it is not the popular vote that puts one in office, as we saw 12 years ago more »
