EARNINGS, DISTRIBUTIONS, AND MORE
Some semblence of normalcy creeping into my life today as we start the day having to chew threw lots of news from last night. First off we have earnings from Kinder Morgan (KMP) and a 1.05 distribution coming to unitholders. Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) is boosting their payout again; 18 quarters in a row. Duncan Partners (DEP) also boosts its distribution. Copano didn't raise the distribution but kept in unchanged. And Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) priced its public offering.
Today we have earnings from Williams Partners (WPZ) to look ahead to. They should be out before the open. And btw in case you missed it the Barrons MLP piece is now available for free.
Markets are a little weaker this morning after yesterday but nothing tragic. Looks like just the usual morning noise. Crude is a little higher, Dollar is a little stronger against the euro, weaker against the yen.
Charts above continue in repair mode with the MLP index in better shape. MLPS closed a little lower yesterday as Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) was the main drag. Smaller mlps held up pretty well. Today the index will be impacted by Kinder Morgan (KMP) so we will watch the market reaction there on its earnings and distribution news. Enterprises boost should help the index. So lots of cross currents today to deal with.

Just found your BLOG. Am new to MLPs but they look like a great vehicle, even in IRAs (a whole 'nother topic which I am researching).
Question: Where is the best place to find the current Ex-dividend and Distribution Payout dates? I can find past ones but not the next scheduled quarterly ones.
Sorry steve for the late response. I am playing catch up.
January 2009 was the last payout cycle so the new cycle has started for the quarter as a few mlps like Kinder Morgan (KMP) and a few others have announced their payouts. More should be coming in the next several days.
