    By Reuben Brewer - April 8, 2013 | Tickers: EPD, PVR, TRP

    After more than 100 years of owning royalty coal properties, PVR (NYSE: PVR) has shifted gears to become a natural gas pipeline company. The move seems to make sense, but it comes with notable risks.

    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.

  • A Barbell Approach to Dividends

    By Reuben Brewer - November 16, 2012 | Tickers: T, ETP, LDR, LMT, PVR

    Investors looking to live off of their dividend income face two competing factors. On one side, they want enough income to support the lifestyle they desire today.

  • High Yielding Coal MLP's: These 2 Have Substantial Yield AND Upside

    By Peter Epstein - August 15, 2012 | Tickers: ARLP, NRP, OXF, PVR, RNO

    I track four coal-heavy MLP's with distribution yields ranging from about 7% to 22%. The four names under consideration are Alliance Resource Partners (NASDAQ: ARLP), Natural Resource Partners (NYSE: NRP), Rhino Resource Partners (NYSE: RNO) and Oxford Resource Partners (NYSE: OXF). There's also Penn Virgina, but its much more diversified, coal-related sources of revenue are not a majority.
