Energy midstream stocks, both master limited partnerships (MLPs) and corporations, are viewed as income investments.

A look at how ETFs differ from common stock shares.

​​​​​​​For long-term investment success, it’s hard to find a better strategy than investing in the stocks of companies that grow their dividends.

The news media and investors are rapidly realizing that the growth of artificial intelligence will require massive increases in available electrical power.

Fund marketers like to push low expense ratios as a path to above-average returns. They often make it sound as if investors pay expenses directly.

Energy midstream companies organized as master limited partnerships (MLPs) offer significant tax advantages to investors.

InfraCap MLP ETF pays stable monthly dividends and, if this trend continues, will be announcing a new higher rate each January going forward.

History tells us that dividends are a key component of investors’ total returns. In fact, dividends have contributed nearly 30% to the 10.4% annual total returns of the S&P 500 over the long run.

The number of MLPs has been shrinking for almost a decade, leaving only the strongest operating.

There is a business sector in which the number of publicly traded companies has shrunk by two-thirds over the past decade. This sector provides absolutely essential services to keep the economy running.

In these uncertain times for investors, energy midstream stocks offer an island of stability. This sector provides an attractive combination of current yield and dividend growth.

High current yields and growing dividends are the cure for the directionless market. And if we are in for a “lost decade” from the stock market, yield plus growing dividends is one strategy that will still produce positive total returns.

A typical trade-off for most high-yield investments is that they pay non-tax-qualified dividends, which would be taxed at your marginal income tax rate.

After a great 2022, energy infrastructure companies are poised to perform well again this year. The big choice is whether to invest in midstream MLPs or shares of midstream corporations.

Midstream companies will grow dividends by high single digits this year. Combine that growth with similar starting yields, and you end up with total returns in the mid-teens.

For certain types of stocks and funds, special dividends point to a high probability of future dividend increases.
