re ETE >>Congrats again on ETE. It turned out to be a great pick in price appreciation and distribution from the time you mentioned it in '08<< I rode it down 50% - heads in the sand and then all the way up to a substantial gain. It was easier to do because the units were in my wife's IRA account <g> . Good thing that she never looks at her statements. I did learn that MLP and particular GP are really dependent on functioning credit markets. GP particularly profit from the issue of new limited partner units, since they get a cut the earnings on all units, including those from secondaries without incurring dilution.
