MASTER LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

Tuesday, January 22, 2008

Rallying well off the lows now down only 7 on the MLP index and 155 on the dow. Looking more and more like we've had a climax low in here.

Anonymous said...: A few things we need to try and get a handle on:

What impact will a slowing economy have on volumes in the pipe?

What impact will a slowing economy have on financing and the ablility to get projects funded?

Will a slowing economy slow drop downs and expansion projects?

Will distribution increases halt?

Alot of other issues WILL impact us.; 1/22/2008 10:54 AM

People still need to heat their homes, drive to work, etc.. Instead, you tend to see relatively constant growth of 2-3% a year total (for the entire industry.)
