		<description><![CDATA[Energy Transfer Partners L.P. (ETP) completed the divesture of its propane business to retail propane distributor AmeriGas Partners L.P. (APU). The announcement of the sale was made in October, 2011.

		<description><![CDATA[by Marc Lichtenfeld, Investment U Senior Analyst Wednesday, December 28, 2011: Issue #1674 Last week, I reviewed my brilliant (and a few, let’s call them sub-brilliant) market calls for 2011. As the year winds down, here are my thoughts for what lies ahead in 2012 for income investors. Prediction #1: The “Crowded Trade” Chatter Heats Up Many Wall Street pros are scoffing at buying stocks with solid dividends. I believe this is for two reasons: The first is that in order for the Wall Street machine to make money, and that includes the financial media, you need to be trading constantly, generating commissions and hanging onto every word as to which stocks will go higher and which are going to tank. If you’re investing in dividend paying stocks, chances are ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Midstream service providers, Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (EPD) and Enbridge Inc. (ENB) have entered a joint venture agreement to build a pipeline –– Wrangler –– connecting the oil-storage hub of Cushing, Oklahoma, to refiners on the Gulf Coast. With the initial capacity of 800,000 barrel a day (BPD), Wrangler is expected to be the largest pipeline connecting the region, replacing two competing proposals. The project will likely cost about $1.5 billion to $2 billion and will compete with a 500,000 BPD pipeline being planned by TransCanada Corp. (TRP) and Magellan Midstream Partners L.P.&#8216;s (MMP) Longhorn pipeline. The 36-inch diameter proposed line, likely to commence in mid-2013 pending regulatory approvals, will initiate from Enbridge&#8217;s Cushing terminal and travel 500 miles south to Enterprise&#8217;s ECHO crude oil storage terminal in southeast Harris ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ferrellgas Partners L.P. (FGP) has added another propane retailer, Economy Propane Inc., consistent with its strategy of acquiring new assets that complement its portfolio. The acquisition of this Lakeport, California-based retailer marks the partnership’s first acquisition this fiscal year, which began on August 1, 2011, and the fourth in this calendar year. Economy Propane, as an independent propane retailer, meets all the requisites of Ferrellgas&#8217; growth-through-acquisition strategy, where the partnership aims to gain control of good businesses in lucrative markets. Going forward, the Ferrellgas family will join Economy employees in the hope of proving superior service to its new customers. Through its growth-by-acquisition strategy Ferrellgas has made as many as 225 acquisitions in over 70 years to transform itself from a single-location, independently owned propane retailer to one of the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by David Fessler, Investment U Senior Analyst Tuesday, September 20, 2011: Issue #1604 By now, everyone should know about America’s abundance of natural gas. Most of the new supplies are coming primarily from the development of major shale plays. The Marcellus, the Haynesville, the Barnett and others are examples of where most of the new gas is coming from. Once a new well is producing gas, it can’t simply be connected to the main transmission line and piped to the end user. It has to be treated first. While processing and treating natural gas is far less complicated than processing crude oil, it’s just as necessary. Unless and until a company’s gas can get treated, it’s going nowhere. Processing “Pipeline Quality” Natural Gas The natural gas we use is composed ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pipeline operator Energy Transfer Partners L.P. (ETP) announced disappointing second quarter 2011 results, hurt by lower natural gas volumes and higher operating expenses. The owner of the biggest intrastate pipeline system in Texas reported earnings per unit of 19 cents, which came in way below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 30 cents. However, earnings improved remarkably from the year-ago loss of 26 cents. Quarterly revenues of $1,628.1 million missed our projection of $1,787.0 million. Comparing year over year, sales shot up 28.4% from $1,267.7 million, attributed to higher transportation fees related to the Tiger pipeline. Quarterly Cash Distribution Last month, Energy Transfer announced second quarter distribution of 89.375 cents per unit ($3.575 per unit annualized), which remains unchanged from the year-earlier and previous quarter distributions. The distribution is payable on ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Eagle Ford Gathering LLC, a joint venture (JV) between Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. (KMP) and Copano Energy, L.L.C. (CPNO), entered into a long-term agreement to provide midstream services to Williams Partners L.P. (WPZ) at the Markham processing plant. The deal entitles Eagle Ford Gathering to build a seven-mile, 20-inch lateral for processing Eagle Ford Shale production at Williams Partners’ Markham plant in Matagorda County, Texas. The construction mainly aims to connect the Markham plant with the previously announced crossover pipeline project and install compression of approximately 3,400 horsepower for about $27 million. The group is slated to begin pipeline connection in July and start operations during the fourth quarter of 2011. The JV will initially process 100 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of natural gas at Markham, with ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are maintaining our long-term Neutral rating on Energy Transfer Partners L.P. (ETP) based on its growth momentum, which is aided by acquisitions and joint ventures, strong volume expansion and modest price increases. These positive aspects are somewhat diluted by the challenging macro environment, weak natural gas fundamentals and cost overruns on development projects. In the first quarter of 2011, Energy Transfer gave a disappointing performance, with earnings per unit of 71 cents coming in below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.03 and 74 cents in the year-ago quarter. Revenue of $1,687.6 million was down 9.9% year over year and missed our projection by 19.1%. The partnership also reported lower distributable cash flows of $337.1 million in the quarter (compared with $384.6 million in the prior-year quarter), hurt by collapsing ]]></description>

(ETP) announced weak first quarter results, as volumes suffered due to a lower base of differentials between the West and East Texas market hubs. The owner of the biggest intrastate pipeline system in Texas reported earnings per unit of 71 cents, below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.03 and the year-ago profit of 74 cents. Revenues of $1,687.6 million were down 9.9% year-over-year and missed our projection by 19.1%. Quarterly Cash Distribution Last month, Energy Transfer announced first quarter distribution of 89.375 cents per unit ($3.575 per unit annualized), which remains unchanged from the year-earlier quarter and the previous quarter distribution.

		<description><![CDATA[We maintain our Neutral recommendation on Spectra Energy Corporation (SE) given its impressive fourth quarter results, continued organic investments, healthy natural gas liquid (NGL) fundamentals, new prospects as well as a revival in the economy. However, we remain concerned about the low natural gas price environment. Last quarter, the company reported better-than-expected results owing to solid growth from expansion projects that came online, higher commodity prices and a stronger Canadian dollar. Spectra plans to deploy $1 billion annually through 2015 on fee-based gas infrastructure growth projects, which we expect to meet or beat Spectra’s targeted 10–12% return on capital employed. Notably, with these significant investments, Spectra expects to see annual operating income in the range of $500 million to $600 million. Importantly, the company expects its adjusted earnings guidance to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are maintaining our Neutral recommendation on Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. (EEP), given its fee-based and diversified businesses, along with its increased exposure to the Bakken Shale, the Haynesville Shale and Granite Wash. This is partially offset by the lower-than-expected results in the fourth quarter of 2010. Enbridge is engaged in the gathering, processing and transmission of natural gas and crude oil and is best known for its ownership of the Lakehead System, one of the world’s longest petroleum pipeline systems. The partnership’s focus on fee-based and diversified businesses has enabled it to dilute its business risks, as well as provide a stable and steadily growing earnings profile. We also remain positive on Enbridge given its increased exposure to the Bakken Shale, the Haynesville Shale and Granite Wash. For this year, ]]></description>

The latter operates in the Western Wyoming markets catering to residential and industrial clients. The acquisition is a perfect strategic fit for Ferrellgas Partners. The partnership strives to buy assets in the vicinity of its existing operations thereby expanding its market base. This acquisition is the fourth one in a row for the partnership since the beginning of its fiscal year. The last acquisition was closed during January, when the partnership acquired Augusta, Georgia-based propane company, the Bennett Gas Company. Bennett Gas is an independent propane retailer serving the propane needs of residential and industrial customers in eastern Georgia and western South Carolinas.

		<description><![CDATA[Pipeline operator Energy Transfer Partners L.P. (ETP) announced in-line fourth quarter results, as improved sales from its retail propane segment were offset by weakness in its natural gas transportation operations. The owner of the biggest intrastate pipeline system in Texas reported earnings per unit of 65 cents, same as the Zacks Consensus Estimate but below the year-ago profit of 91 cents. Revenues of $1,454 5 million were down 3.4% year-over-year and missed our projection by 21.3%. Quarterly Cash Distribution Last month, Energy Transfer announced fourth quarter distribution of 89.375 cents per unit ($3.575 per unit annualized), which remains unchanged from the year-earlier quarter and the previous quarter distribution. The distribution was paid on February 14, to unit-holders of record on February 7, 2011. EBITDA &#38; Operating Income Adjusted EBITDA for ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this month, Energy Transfer Partners L.P. (ETP) – a master limited partnership (“MLP”) – announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010. Now that the analysts have had some time to ponder upon the quarterly performance of Energy Transfer, they are weighing in their estimate revisions. Below we cover the results of the recent earnings announcement, subsequent analyst estimate revisions and Zacks ratings for the outlook. Earnings Review On November 9, 2010, Energy Transfer announced disappointing third quarter results, pulled down by a weakness in its ‘Intrastate’ segment on the back of a pipeline outage, partially offset by robust propane margins. The pipeline operator&#8217;s earnings per unit came in at 5 cents, well below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 21 cents, while revenues of $1.3 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Energy Transfer Partners L.P. (ETP), a master limited partnership (MLP), announced its weak first quarter results, adversely affected by a decrease in volumes in its transportation pipelines. The pipeline operator’s results were also pulled down by lower ‘Retail Propane’ segment results. The partnership reported earnings per unit of 74 cents, well below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.06 and the year-ago earnings of $1.37. However, revenue was up 14.8% year over year to $1.9 billion. The positive comparison was mainly on account of a 17.5% rise in sales from natural gas operations (which accounts for roughly 70% of total sales). Distribution Unchanged Energy Transfer’s quarterly distribution of 89.375 cents per unit ($3.575 per unit annualized), remains unchanged from the year-earlier quarter and the previous quarter distribution.

Known as the Tiger Pipeline, the 42-inch diameter loop will connect Energy Transfer’s existing pipeline system near Carthage, Texas, extend through the Haynesville Shale, and end near Delhi, Louisiana, interconnecting to at least seven interstate pipelines at different locations in Louisiana. It is estimated that the project will cost roughly $1–1.2 billion. Energy Transfer expects the Tiger Pipeline to begin service by the first half of 2011 with an initial capacity of 2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) ]]></description>

(KMP). With an initial capacity to transport up to 2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of natural gas, the pipeline will serve the Fayetteville Shale-producing region in Arkansas. This is a 42-inch, approximately 185-mile pipeline. Energy Transfer Partners is the operator of this pipeline and will manage the construction program. Total project cost is anticipated at $1.25 billion. FEP will start off in Conway County, Arkansas, continue eastward through White County, Arkansas, and terminate at an interconnection with Trunkline Gas Company in Panola County, Mississippi. The pipeline will be operative by the end of this year. This is not a one-off joint venture initiative ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The trade deficit for November widened to $36.4 billion from $33.2 billion in October. The October number was revised from $32.9 billion. However, we are still doing better on the trade deficit front than a year ago, when the gap was $43.2 billion. Last year, though, the trade deficit was collapsing as both imports and exports were tumbling in response to the financial crisis. The trade imbalance had hit a peak of $64.9 billion in July of 2008, and it was on its way to a low of $25.8 billion in May of 2009, and it has been rebounding ever since. The Good News? The good news is that the trade deficit is increasing for the “right reason&#8221; &#8212; with imports increasing faster than imports &#8212; but both are still ]]></description>

(ETP) – a natural gas and propane gas distributor – priced the public offering of 8.5 million common units at $44.72 per unit, with a 30-day over-allotment option for an additional 1.3 million units. The partnership plans to use the net proceeds from this offering to pay back the outstanding indebtedness under its revolving credit facility, to finance capital expenditures associated with pipeline construction projects, and for general partnership purposes. The offering is expected to close on January 11, 2010. Energy Transfer recently reported weaker-than-expected third quarter results as low natural gas prices adversely affected profitability. The partnership reported a loss per unit of 10 cents, significantly below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a profit of 35 cents.

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (ETP) reported that it has completed the 160-mile Texas Independence Pipeline. The $485 million, 42-inch natural gas pipeline will cater to the fast-growing Bossier and Barnett Shale natural gas resource plays of east and north-central Texas. Energy Transfer is the largest transporter of natural gas out of these two prolific natural gas production basins. The partnership operates the largest intrastate pipeline system in Texas, with nearly 8,000 miles of pipeline in the state. The new pipeline, which runs from Maypearl to Henderson, will expand Energy Transfer’s take away capacity in Texas by 1.1 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d). It connects the partnership’s existing central and north Texas infrastructure to its east Texas pipeline network. With the addition of compression, the pipeline capacity may be ]]></description>
