Understanding the Phenomenon of “Price Risk” in High Yield

by

  Image Source: Julien Carnot We want you to learn about a unique risk innate to the high yield space like the back of your hand. We’ll explain the “information contained in prices” and talk about what you should be on the lookout for, the “avalanche effect.” Order the High Yield Dividend Newsletter here. — By Brian Nelson, CFA — I received a question from a dear member of ours, and I think it may be helpful that I share the response. The question had to do with why we may be ultra-cautious on high-yielding stocks that are facing considerable price declines. The risk described below makes the high yield space uniquely different than other equity strategies, in our view, … Read more

Kinder Morgan Versus Enterprise Products Partners?

by

Image Source: Stefan Buddy  Question: Valuentum’s latest note on Kinder Morgan (KMI) hinted the company’s situation is improving, even though its ratings are weaker than Enterprise Products Partners’ (EPD). Would you please compare these companies?

MLP Speak: A Critique of Distributable Cash Flow

by

–> Handout 1: Pitfalls of Distribution Yield Analysis (pdf) –> Handout 2: Linking P/DCF to Enterprise Free Cash Flow Valuation (pdf) Let’s talk about a controversial metric that is used in master limited partnership (MLP) reporting. Just how useful is it, and should it be allowed? By Brian Nelson, CFA It’s been a few years since the fallout in the prices of most master limited partnerships (AMLP), but to me, it still feels like yesterday. We continue to have many concerns about the longevity of the business models of MLPs, and we maintain our view that the operating structure will be challenged over the long haul.

Taxes and the Distressed MLP Investor

by
