Recs
Enterprise Products Partners is up to its elbows in natural gas and offers a range of processing, transportation and storage services. It has an interest in over 30,000 miles of pipelines, has a long history of profitability, has paid a consistently increasing dividend since 2005, and currently has a dividend yield in excess of 8%. This is a company I try to hide from my enemies :-)
Do you still see this as a good investment at it's current price?
Yes, I do. I picked this stock as a long term investment (3 - 5 years) for two reasons. One of this is the outstanding dividend (actually, distribution). The other reason is I am of the opinion natural gas and related energy sources will become increaingly important over the investment term. For these reasons 'current price' is not a consideration for me - I'm not looking to trade the stock. Rather I'm looking for this stock to earn me a year-after-year return of over 7% on my money.
