As I wrote earlier, I replaced KMP and SEP with KMI and SE KMP was up about 15% when I sold it and SEP was up around 30%. KMI is up 6% since I bought and SE is up 6.4%. I bought them on March 18. I don't expect that to continue, but somehow I am not missing KMP and SEP. Granted, using some of the gains to open a position in SDRL mean that income was not hit much, so I feel okay about it. Straight trade off though, lower yield in both cases. Still good, but lower than the MLPs

Bought some PF this AM. Decent divvy, and I sure like their product line for long term growth. Obviously no divvy history, do it's a bit of a gamble, but these days, whatcha gonna do? I bought KRFT in Dec. and it's up 14% before I can even think about adding, bought USAC as an IPO in January, and I am up 11%. Probably won't hold that one since it puts me a little over exposed to LP's, but while the game is being played, I might as well participate. TOT is beginning to look good again, even thought the yield is subject to French tax, but that one seems to be more of a trading stock than a buy and hold.
