Investors Profit From Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) High Compound Annual Returns / Companies / Dividends
Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) have delivered compound annual returns of 18.5% over the last 10 years. That's about 6% more than income trusts and 7% better than utilities—and most investment-grade MLPs maintain, and sometimes even grow, cash distributions in stressed markets.

So, the bulls piled in … only to have the market suddenly collapse under their feet back under 1,120 then 1,100. This move trapped both sides of the market with back-to-back losses.

Jon D. Markman writes: With the escalating Eurozone-debt-contagion fears of recent weeks, a significant shift is taking place in the global stock-and-bond markets.
The powerful bull cycle that grew out of the early March 2009 market lows - the quickest and strongest stock-market rebound of the past 50 years - has been losing some of its youthful verve as it matures. That means we can expect the pace of gains to moderate as asset classes (stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities) begin to differentiate themselves.
