Welcome! Just like to toss a caveat in here while I can.

Please remember that what I'm trying to RESPOND to is a WAY TO THINK... not THE WAY to do. I'm just trying to give you some food for thought. What you all do - what you all invest in - etc is entirely up to you.

In investing - there are no absolutes. You just do the very best you can at that time with the information available to you at that time.

If you have cash 'parked' -- you can't just forget about it. If you invest in something - you need to review each and every investment to make sure that investment is doing what you thought it should do. (employees sometime s don't work out - they need retraining! Don't let them go on permanent vacation! )

We have discussed Kinder Morgan Partners (KMP) a lot on this thread.... again -- caveat - it's not right for everyone and isn't a RECOMMENDATION -- it's been a very good EXAMPLE.


I love when the companies I invest in give me a raise!!! And when you choose good investments -- THIS is the kind of report you want to read!


Pipeline master limited partnership Kinder Morgan (KMP) reported strong fourth quarter results Wednesday afternoon. Revenue surged 31% year-over-year to $2.5 billion, exceeding consensus estimates. Operating earnings per share grew 74% year-over-year to $0.61, also ahead of expectations. Distributable cash flow per share increased 6% year-over-year, to $1.35, more than covering the firm's payout during the fourth quarter. This led the company to raise its fourth quarter distribution to $1.29 per share (payable February 14, 2013), three cents higher than the previous payout. The firm's full-year distributable cash flow of $5.07 per share was significantly higher than in 2011, but more importantly, it easily covered distribution payments of $4.98 per share.

Did you take plenty of ammo to DC??

Yep! I stopped by and checked on my stocks and liked what I saw. Every stock is currently on an up swing and the new purchases have put me in the positive for the entire account. Diversification works
