In particular, it's in Paul Sturm's StockScreen column.

That column is one of the main reasons I read that mag.

He's written about MLPs about once every year or so.

There is an article about MLPs in the May issue of Smart Money magazine.
They list several MLPs that appear to be attractive investments. It
looks like they are attractive primarily because of high yield along
with safety and some growth. The article also lists four funds that
give access to MLPs.

For what it's worth, Peter Lynch devotes a chapter to MLPs in _Beating
the Street_. He refers to them as, "...another group of companies whose
benefits are being ignored by Wall Street."

Yes, sorry.

"...Wachovia Securities,
mutual funds could not MLPs."

Is something missing between "not" and "MLPS"? Possibly "invest in"?

Does anyone here invest in or have an opinion on master limited
partnerships (MLPs)? MLPs are not subject to the corporate income tax
and are required to distribute most of their cash flows to their
investors (similar to REITs). Many of them own energy assets. There is
some information about them at
http://www.ptpcoalition.org/InformationonPtPs.htm .

According to a November 2003 report on MLPs from Wachovia Securities,
mutual funds could not MLPs. Does this prohibition still exist? If so,
limited institutional ownership may cause MLPs to be more attractively
priced for individual investors than they would otherwise be.

I have read that income trusts have become popular with Canadian
investors. I wonder if they are suitable for American investors, either
in taxable or tax-deferred accounts.
