Northern Tier Energy LP (NTI)

[jugs]

Zacks released their latest "Sell" list this morning. There are five stocks appearing. ALDW is one of the five.

Given the dramatic run-up of late, I can't imagine what is sticking in the minds of Z's analytical team but I figure it's got to be something unpleasant. After all, aren't we just days away from quarterly guidance and distribution info?

However, I'm sitting on a load of NTI units and feeling awfully good about it. I'm expecting CVRR's good news of yesterday (coming distribution set at 98 cents)will impact positively fence sitters debating moving into NTI. I doubt many are viewing NTI as the weak sister when it comes to our three MLPs usually under discussion here.

So here I sit, wondering why Zacks would tell people to get out of Dodge on the eve of what unit holders undoubtedly expect to reflect a windfall distribution and subsequent run to $25-$26 in terms of pricing support. Something ain't right here and I can't imagine what it might be.

Anyone got ideas? It is driving me nuts despite the fact that I am not holding a position in Alon. I nearly pulled the trigger on it yesterday but decided to continue adding to NTI as it's my favorite.
