this ETF is like "Death by a thousand cuts" where is the bottom?

Take a look at MRGE, a small pipeline co. with a huge project about to begin. I just picked up shares, looks like a great money making project.Let me know what you guys think.

Anyone know why all the volume hit on Friday in AMLP. Apparently there was a lot of call options buying as well. Time to cover any short positions?

What do you guys think is this a good time to buy them? Is that 46% everything is reliable? Or do you think they’re going to cut it?

trying to figure out why this has been in a steady decline for 6 years. any input? thx

A shift from value to growth continues to hurt energy sector. When will the trend reverse?

While we are talking about ROC and dividends, for the years 2015 through 2019, 2018 was the only year the dividend was from net realized gains. It is abhorrent, that the SEC allows companies to say they pay a big dividend, when they are only returning you the money you invested. https://www.alpsfunds.com/viewer/AMLP?docType=summary-prospectus

Alec, I finally found the AMLP disclosure about ROC and real dividend composition. Attached is the link, from their site. IT SAYS THE FUND ESTIMATES 100% IS RETURN OF CAPITAL for Aug 14.. if you have a site that says different, please show it.https://www.alpsfunds.com/api/resources/f7b9ac7b7b7015a2992f77416a48ff4b.pdf

Hurricane over. Buy the news.

What is the yield? Why does yahoo say it is 43%

yikes, What a melt down ..WASSUP? . Is the Weather related? Or Politics, or more TEchnical, Fundamental in this pipeline sector? I'm here just for the DIVI

I assume some of you on this board know about the industry. So can anyone tell me about MRGE stock is that a good investment?

According to the AMLP website the Aug 14 2020 is a dividend and not 100% ROC so yahoo news is misleading and the dividend is 0.75 which is about 12.3% down a bit from 15%. Yahoo also post the dividend incorrectly at 45%. AMLP major play is in energy transport and is diversified. As energy picks up it should come back.

Todays dividend release clearly says the dividend is 100% Return Of Capital.It won't show up on your 1099 DIV. Its not taxable. Its not income.It will reduce your basis when you sell, meaning you'll have less of a tax writeoff than you think, if you sell.Personally, any dividend that is part ROC, should be clearly labelled, like AMLP did. They did good.Actually, the SEC should not allow companies to call ROC payments dividends.If a company pays out an ROC, it should be called an ROC, and not included in a yahoo finance summary as a dividend. Its a blatant attempt by some companies to make people think a company is making more money than they actually are. The question remains, with over 10 million barrels flowing a day, why aren't they making money. I certainly hope we don't suffer writeoffs as when the related oil company lowers probable reserves. i hope we aren't getting hurt by paper losses. If pipelines aren't making money at 10 million a day, just when would they ?

Why would anyone sell on the ex- date is beyond me

Any news on distribution. when announcement,cut,when/if paid?

Hey #$%$ just wanted you to know, that in recent filings, AMLP said all of their recent dividends was return of capital. Meaning they really aren't paying any dividend right now. Right now, they are just giving you back the money you paid in. But I agree, we still have 11 million barrels a day of oil produced , plus several pipe companies were eliminating their IDR's, we should be in a sweet spot, without regard to oil price. Is it possible the companies that created the MLP's want them to fail, so they can buy them back on the cheap.

With a 12% dividend and pipeline companies reporting better than expected earnings and the fact that we will need gas and oil for another 30-50- years I don't understand why the price isn't much higher. These pipes are in the ground producing profits.,it should only get better.!!!

With AMLP paying a 12% dividend and most pipelines doing better than expected I don't understand why this doesn't trade higher than it does.
