$BPT - HUGE bounce in the making.

BP Prudhoe Bay has seen shares get clobbered since an article in The Wall Street Journal which highlighted the insane multiple that some trusts trade at based upon their Net Present Value.

The Trust hit a new 52-week low, but the revaluation is not over as these units continue to trade above their true worth.

Retail investors need to be careful so as not to get burned, and should remember not to seek yield for yield's sake alone.

You do not get your invested capital back when these things mature and the distributions are not enough to cover your cost these days, so one would do best to buy MLPs instead where it makes sense to reinvest distributions and let money sit over time (as MLPs can grow through acquisition).
