Investing 102

[chichirone]

Greg, wondering if you can simply explain a master limited partnership (MLP). They seem to be a discount (falling), as is the entire oil/gas market, but how do these differ from a stock such as KMI? Is it an alternative tool or how does it complement a dividend investing strategy? Just curious on your thoughts as I feel I am over-analyzing the tool.

I have looked at: Alerian MLP (AMLP) or Kayne Anderson (KYN)
