  • After the Recent Sell-Off, MLPs With Rising Yields Are More Attractive

    The last few months have been very difficult for stock markets. MLPs had been high flyers for more than 2 years, but they were also hit with selling. The Alerian MLP Index (AMZ) had its greatest rally in its 16 year history, rising from a recession low of 152 in Nov 2008 to 390 on April 28, 2011.
