Says for KMP the returns is 75.90% for the past 5 years. That obviously doesnt quite match up with what MorningStar reports. So i feel i am not reviewing it correctly.

First --- Total Return for Kinder Morgan Partners (KMP) for the last 5 years is
151.3%
3 years = 136.4%
1 year = 33%
Second --- Morningstar is a good website but a bit "overwhelming" and especially for newbs. One of the major reasons I love Schwab -- simplicity.
I'm a simple guy - I like simple - I just want to find the info I need without a bunch of gobbledegook!
Third --- Here's a link to an easier to use site for information. YOU will have to put in the trading symbol and hit enter.... and then there's a ton of information down the left hand side... and if you scroll down near the bottom you'll find TOTAL RETURN data. This link will give you KMP data since that's what I entered.

Obviously returns are calculated from some "date" for data --- so no two sites will come up with the exact same number unless they use the exact same dates. Not sure what dates this site uses but it doesn't match Schwabs... regardless --- all this kind of info is just used for COMPARISONS really so it's fine.
So this is all kinda fun isn't it?? It's like bench racing - or hunting for horse power - or picking cams or gear ratios. Except it's way way more important!
