Hi ditch. Kinder dropped his previous dividend growth ate from a flat 10 % per year to a range of 6 -10 percent going out into the future (I think it was 2020). Last week I sold some puts for 27.5 - expiring in June 2016 for 3.50. If put to me the stock would be bought at 24.00 yielding 8.33%. I have also sold some January 2016's30's for 6.00 - same yield. I'm under water on those but have a lot of time premium out there that will decay. Listening to the webcast let's one know that natural gas in La and Tx will continue to grow faster than in the nation. Many long term petrochemical projects are underway. Eagle Ford is still being developed. Mexico's gas supplies are dwindling and will become an importer from Texas fields. Texas is going to natural gas for electricity generation at a much faster rate than many other states Many things assure KMI's future growth will be robust imo. Bob

"I think I agree with your earlier comments regarding starting at a higher yield and compounding vs yield growth" David Van Knapp comment from October 30th: "The relationship is not always intuitive. I think that a lot of people (including me at first) are surprised by how much a head start you get from a higher initial yield compared to a higher dividend growth rate. Obviously, that can be important to people with different time frames." I really don't see what time frame has to do with this. Also note that at no time could he have gone by the 4% rule and not had to sell stock. One doesn't have to go by the 4% rule. I don't plan to use funds from my IRA, but I could take 4% and still have funds to invest. Just part of a backup plan, just in case.
