Informative article from Morningstar: "Finding True Value in Master Limited Partnerships":

I've been reducing my holdings of etf's of mlp's. These funds just have not performed as I expected: there seem to be issues with their structure - the leverage they employ.

I may go instead just with more individual mlp's -- looking at [t]MGG[/t] (<span style='font-size:11px'>LAST</span>: 13.31<span style='font-size:11px'> 12/26/2008 4:02:26 PM</span>) now, for instance. I won't like dealing with yet another k-1 tax form, but the benefits might outweigh that. And holding individual mlp's seems to be better than enduring the issues (and capital losses) that I've had with holding etf mlp's.

Fwiw, adding small to BWP as it falls. Holding only [t]TYN[/t] (<span style='font-size:11px'>LAST</span>: 9.4<span style='font-size:11px'> 12/26/2008 3:59:15 PM</span>) now among the etf mlp's.
