If you are truly interested in building an income stream for the future, why wouldn't you invest in the best opportunities that you could find, regardless of dividend state. Then down the road, harvest your gains and roll the proceeds into dividend stocks at that time, or even an annuity. I have a post on the downsides of dividends here: http://bootstrapinvesting.com/2009/04/20/why-dividends-suck.aspx<br />I'd be interested in your thoughts.Bootstraphttp://www.bootstrapinvesting.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584696203336871201.post-59129485350829411312009-05-04T07:10:00.000-07:002009-05-04T07:10:00.000-07:00I am a fan of MLP.

First, the likely future of the energy crisis we're in the middle of. The dividend cuts of the income trusts are already priced in and based on $45 oil or so, and there's a real floor to the field, because people cannot give up heating their houses in the winter and commuting to their jobs. The steadily increasing dividend yield of the Aristocrats is great, but how much of the increase comes from nothing more than the maintenance of market share in a world with steadily increasing population?Handwornhttp://handworn.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584696203336871201.post-61019985450170704152009-04-30T16:32:00.000-07:002009-04-30T16:32:00.000-07:00I sold my KMP, just recently. I didn't like the owner, Mr. Kinder, taking KME (the operating partner)private in 2008. Sets up a natural conflict. I made a good profit on KME, and KMP, but decided to liquidate KMP for this reason. <br /><br />Take a look at BPL, SXL, and OKS.keithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09017339292758439651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584696203336871201.post-26304735166876080942009-04-29T13:18:00.000-07:002009-04-29T13:18:00.000-07:00How do you feel about limited partnerships such as Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (KMP) which trades on the NYSE and has a yield of 8.6% today?Richardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00926071911396827610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584696203336871201.post-62309343599570286182009-04-29T08:03:00.000-07:002009-04-29T08:03:00.000-07:00Sure sounds like a pyramid scheme to me.
