Northern Tier Energy LP (NTI)

[jugs]

I don't think I've missed the end of the quarter as I continue to hold 2,300 units. More important is that I shifted funds from NTI units previously held and applied same to ALDW and CVRR with terrific capital appreciation. I did the math early this morning and I was ahead $1,651 for my trouble and this will increase, most likely, until such time as I pull the plug. CVRR and ALDW have appreciated more conspicuously than NTI. NTI jumped on the WNR news as it provided a bottom in support of a higher valuation. The other MLPs. however, are doing very nicely on the strength of their fundamentals. Those two are more easily understood and are thus more predicable.

You bring up an interesting point about not hearing anything from the company re. the buyout. I expect we'll hear three things in the near future:

1. We are considering it.
2. We will be contacting you regarding your vote.
3. We have decided to become fodder You can now lick the floor.

I had expected 70 cents and not the $1.04. I'm glad I'm wrong as my ego isn't worth money to me. lol But you did great!
