a blog dedicated to the discussion of MASTER LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS and the day to day news related to the group...along with perhaps a few other things...as long as the conversation is kept civil. Although i have no problem telling you what i am doing regarding my trades...PLEASE DON'T ASK ME WHAT YOU SHOULD DO REGARDING WHETHER TO BUY, SELL OR SHORT!!! i am not in the stock business.

Inergy LP (NRGY) is down 1 on a Citigroup downgrade to sell and a 31 target. Seems like propane use is down this summer as detailed in the E.I.A report. Global Partners (GLP) is down 1.76 as the days biggest loser on guidance that wasn't encouraging. The mlp index is up just under 1 point. EV Partners (EVEP) is the big winner up 1 and change and btw this one now yields 5% which is a far cry from the 20+% it yielded during the meltdown.
I read the GLP press release and got a pretty good impression. Management is hitting the cashflow problem head-on with austerity measures including employee layoffs. Most important is that the distribution is intact.
ReplyDeleteThe market is reacting like there is going to be a distribution cut. Also interesting is that other MLPs are not dropping in sympathy. That points to GLP's unique position as a handler of gasoline in the New England region. Compare this to the mostly cookie-cutter copies of so many similar MLPs operating in and around the southwest.
