Any thoughts on BIP? Not mentioned much here.

It's at least a partial bet on the lack of additional worldwide recession, but given Bernanke's determination to save the world from that, spare the expense, their risk seems so spread out in several countries that it’s unlikely that any single event would be large enough to drastically affect their operations.
Utilities:
Transelec- Electric transmission lines in Chile
NGPL- Natural gas storage and pipeline in the US
Powerco- Electricity and gas distribution in New Zealand
IEG- Electricity and natural gas connections in UK
Ontario Transmission- Electric transmission lines in Canada

Transportation:
DBCT- Coal terminal that supplies port export services from Australia

WestNet Rail- Australian rail infrastructure {"Westnet Rail transported over 50 million tons of freight in 2009. The region is encountering increased commodities demand from China, and so several iron-ore mining developments are being developed in proximity to Westnet Rail. BIP expects to invest upwards of $200 million to accommodate these developments and therefore increase cash flow."}
