Natural Resource Partners LP

  • Natural Resource Partners' Safe, Strong 9.5% Yield

    By Peter Epstein - May 23, 2013 | Tickers: ARLP, ANR, CLF, NRP

    Natural Resource Partners, LP (NYSE: NRP) continues to make good progress diversifying away from leasing its owned coal reserves in central Appalachia and the Illinois Basin. And that's a good thing because the Company's coal business has been under significant pressure. The reason for my update on this company is that Natural Resource Partners recently presented at an industry conference. Please see the corporate slide show and listen more »

  • Is Alliance Resource Partners a Buy After Massive Out-Performance?

    By Peter Epstein - April 16, 2013 | Tickers: ARLP, ANR, KOL, NRP, BTU

    I've written several articles on coal Master Limited Partnership Alliance Resource Partners, LP (NASDAQ: ARLP) here on TMF. Late last year I opined that Alliance and Natural Resource Partners, LP (NYSE: NRP)were over sold due to fiscal cliff fears. In the past 12 months, Alliance's units are up ~20% while the Market Vectors Coal ETF, (NYSEMKT: KOL) is down close to 25%. Does this substantial out-performance mean more »

  • The Safest Big Yielder in Coal

    By Reuben Brewer - April 16, 2013 | Tickers: ARLP, NRP

    Alliance Resource Partners (NASDAQ: ARLP) is the top choice for investors looking for a high-yielding coal play.

    Hating on Coal

    Coal is an unloved natural resource today. Although abundant, it is dirty compared to alternatives like natural gas, nuclear, and renewable energy like solar or wind. Historically, however, its price advantage had cemented the fuel source as the low cost option for base-load electric power, its primary market.

  • This Company Is Changing Its Stripes

    By Reuben Brewer - April 1, 2013 | Tickers: NRGY, NRP, PVR

    Penn Virginia Resource Partners (NYSE: PVR) is making a change from coal to natural gas pipelines. This shift coupled with the still weak coal market has left the market concerned about the limited partnership's distribution. Management, however, seems pretty confident that it won't be an issue.

    Out with the Old

    PVR's history in the coal industry dates back to 1882. Up until a few years ago, coal more »

  • Is it Worth Investing in Dividend Kings?

    By Lior Cohen - March 28, 2013 | Tickers: SAN, NRP, VGR

    Many investors seek high paying dividend stocks that will also maintain their value over time. Big companies such as Altria or BP offer around 5% annual yield for their dividend, which is very high. Let’s examine several smaller companies from different sectors that offer much higher dividend yield. Is it worth investing in these companies?

  • Commodities To Hate, But Own Anyway

    By Reuben Brewer - March 22, 2013 | Tickers: ARLP, XOM, NRP, RDS-B

    Goldman Sachs says buy commodities. Hedge funds are trimming their bets. What's an investor to do? Try buying stocks with exposure to unloved commodities like natural gas and coal.

    Who's Right?

    Bloomberg.com ran an interesting article about the confusion in the commodity market. The article's first sentence sums it up pretty well: “Hedge funds cut bets on a commodity rally to a four-year low on signs more »

  • Will Coal Make a Comeback in 2013?

    By Lior Cohen - March 21, 2013 | Tickers: ACI, NRP, BTU

    Major coal mining companies haven't performed well in recent years. Perhaps the recent increase in the price of natural gas will help rally the coal industry: Since the price of natural gas didn't reach the low prices it did back in 2012, this should raise the demand for coal in the electricity industry. Will the recent rally in the price of natural gas help raise the revenues of more »

  • Delicious Dividend: Alliance Resource Partners

    By Ryan Palmer - March 8, 2013 | Tickers: ARLP, NRP, NMM

    As investors, we all love dividends. After all there are not many things you can buy that will pay you just because you own them. It is simply marvelous that you are compensated for owning one of the most valuable assets in the world: An ownership stake in a successful company. That being said just because a company distributed a fat juicy dividend last quarter does not necessarily mean they more »

  • Why I Sold This Trust and Replaced It

    By James Coffman - February 7, 2013 | Tickers: BPT, NRP, RIO

    What are your main objectives in this crazy investing game? Mine are growth and income. I want to hold stocks for the long term and take advantage of low dividend and long term capital gains tax rates. Yeah, I am pretty bullish on basic materials right now, because my “Spidey Senses” are telling me that the recovery has started in earnest. So, my big thing right now is keeping my more »

  • Insiders Bought Bank of America, TD Ameritrade, and More

    By Meena Krishnamsetty - January 31, 2013 | Tickers: BAC, IHS, NRP, AMTD, UNH

    Investors cannot mimic every insider purchase, but they can use the knowledge that stocks bought by insiders tend to narrowly outperform the market on average and think of insider purchases as being much like a stock screen. It’s similarly a bad idea to buy a stock because of a low earnings multiple or high insider ownership; these screens are best used to identify ideas for further research, and insider more »

  • Is Coal Back? Stocks Poised to Benefit

    By Alex Bastardas - January 31, 2013 | Tickers: ARLP, ACI, NRP

    With constant talk about renewable energies - or oil -, coal is usually overlooked. Many see coal as a thing of the past. Something that belongs to an archaic turn-of-the-century America, when most all electricity production was based on coal. However, the fact of the matter is that, in the United States, coal is far from being a irrelevant: In 2011, 42% of all electricity generation was coal-based (natural gas and nuclear more »

  • Coal Gets a Shot in the Arm

    By Reuben Brewer - January 4, 2013 | Tickers: ARLP, NRP, BTU, RNO

    The International Energy Agency (IEA) recently gave coal, and the companies that mine the fuel, a much needed shot in the arm, as it predicted that … “by 2017 coal will come close to surpassing oil as the world’s top energy source...” That puts a much more positive spin on the industry than most investors have today.

    The last time I wrote about Master Limited Partnership, "MLP," Natural Resource Partners, (NYSE: NRP) was on December 11, [see here]. Since then the units are up 9% from $17.5 to $19.2, yet it continues to be a compelling story. Yesterday I wrote a piece [see here] on Alliance Resource Partners, (NASDAQ: ARLP).

    Alliance Resource Partners Poised to Outperform in 2013

    A few weeks ago I profiled Natural Resource Partners, (NYSE: NRP), a 12%+ yielding Master Limited Partnership, "MLP." See post here. As we enter 2013, I'm back to discuss coal producing MLP, Alliance Resource Partners, (NASDAQ: ARLP). The units of both of these companies have been battered since early November due largely to Obama's reelection and fiscal cliff fears.

  • Stuff Your Stockings With This Bargain MLP

    By Peter Epstein - December 11, 2012 | Tickers: ARLP, ANR, ACI, CLD, NRP, BTU

    MLP Relative Under-Performance Continues

    About ten days ago I wrote an article about Master Limited Partnership's, "MLPs." I warned Foolish investors that I'm not an expert in MLPs or trained in the tax treatment of owning MLP units and collecting distributions. The key point of this article was that if units of coal MLPs Natural Resource Partners (NYSE: NRP) and Alliance Resource Partners (NASDAQ: ARLP) have sold off more »
