In reality this means that the company is a partnership in a legal sense, with several partners pooling their money together to start a company, which is then overseen by a person or entity that is called the general partner. Unlike normal partnerships, master limited partnership partners are have limited liability.

  • 1 Stock to Buy Before Earnings

    By Neha Chamaria - April 23, 2013 | Tickers: CF, UAN, RNF, TNH

    Among the fertilizer companies about to announce their quarterly reports, one I am particularly looking forward to hearing about is CVR Partners (NYSE: UAN). The stock started the year with a bang, but is deep in the red now. After rising more than 10% in the first three weeks of January alone, CVR's shares gave up 14% gains in the past three months.

    By Neha Chamaria - April 2, 2013 | Tickers: CF, UAN, RNF, TNH

    Numbers that missed the Street estimates, earnings projections that failed to inspire, and dividend guidance that stumped investors – Is the tide turning against Rentech Nitrogen (NYSE: RNF)? Investors cheered when the fertilizer maker’s stock crossed the $49 mark in early February. The euphoria didn't last long – The stock has lost 27% since then.

  • Three Stocks that Screen for Profits in 2013

    By AnnaLisa Kraft - March 26, 2013 | Tickers: ERIE, TNH, WYNN

    I love playing around with screeners--to me it's like sieving for gold. I love plugging data into the Motley Fool.com screener (under the CAPS community tab) and finding treasure. After looking around for mid and large caps with decent yields over 3%, double digit earnings and revenue growth, and low short interest, only three companies came up: Terra Nitrogen LP (NYSE: TNH), Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN) , and Erie more »

  • After Solid 2012, CF Industries Hopes Record Corn Acres Lift Sales In 2013

    By G C Mays - March 7, 2013 | Tickers: CF, TNH

    CF Industries (NYSE: CF) started 2012 with a bang, posting huge growth in revenues and earnings in the company's first quarter.  Despite the strong start, net sales in the 2nd through 4th quarters were all lower than a year ago.  While one would not describe the mid-year slide in revenues as a slump, the year over year declines surprised many. The company still managed to post record revenues of more »

  • Long Term Investing in Fertilizer

    By Rupert Hargreaves - March 4, 2013 | Tickers: AGU, CF, TNH

    Food producers are perhaps one of the best investments anyone can make. But in my opinion, fertilizer is the second best choice, since you need it to grow that food in the first place.

    Fertilizer companies are split into two main camps, the nitrogen names such as Terra Nitrogen (NYSE: TNH) and Agrium (NYSE: AGU), which are reporting record earnings thanks to continually depressed natural gas prices. Then there are more »

  • Three Dividend Plays for 2013

    By Howard Cranford - February 14, 2013 | Tickers: MO, AAPL, TNH

    For income investors a stable dividend paying stock is their bread and butter. These stocks, however, are not always the easiest to spot. Too small of dividends and it might not be worth investors' time, too big and investors have rights to be skeptical of the longevity of the company. These three stocks offer plays in stability, good value, and in a high-paying stock with speculation of the future.

    By Mark Holder - February 11, 2013 | Tickers: ARLP, CLF, FCX, TNH

    Investing for the long term can be tough, but I believe one of the best methods is to find, buy, and hold a stock that offers a product that will always be in demand.  Any investor investing for the long term needs to consider products that will always be in demand, and there is nothing that will be in demand for longer than food. People will always need food and more »
