Barron's MLP Candidates 6-11-07

Description:

From Barron's 6-11-07:

"It sounds too good to be true: pay a reasonable price for an asset that delivers juicy, tax-deferred yields, in a sexy sector, with the possibility of skyrocketing price appreciation.

This is the glitter of publicly traded master limited partnerships in the energy business -- and lately they have proven to be true gushers. Many have paid out dividends of 6% in the past year and appreciated about 30%. But now, with the market looking toppy -- an index of 50 MLPs is up nearly 100% in the past five years -- it's time for investors to get more selective.

While many of the energy partnerships have been created for companies in the pipeline business, outfits specializing in exploration and production are starting to get into the act and may offer better value. The best play of all could be the stocks of smaller exploration and production outfits that might benefit from spinning off some of their assets as MLPs."
