CEF Funds - MLP's Just look at top 10 holdings and stay w/ midstream (non Oil) companies. Pipeline, processing, storage etc are best as they are not exposed to the commodity price risk. Also, look at the annual expense and try to use the low cost ones. Tortoise Power & Energy Infra:TPZ goo.gl This has been one I used to own but sold out and created my own MLP basket. You can search the CEF web site for others and look at their top 10 positions. KMI should be on that list. EKS

LMLP is a 2x levered basket of MLPs, so you get twice the share price movement of the basket of stocks, but also twice the dividend. None of the MLPs in the basket are energy MLPs, so it might not be good if you want to buy the recent energy dip. It was down less than 1% on Friday, so it's not really as exposed to oil as you might want if you want to buy the dip. MLPW looks like a general MLP basket, and not levered. Yield is only about 4% though, so it pays you less than AT&T. Not sure that would appeal to me, maybe you're looking for capital gains and this might be good?
