Alon USA Partners, LP (ALDW)

[jugs]

SMLP shows an unusually erratic earnings record this year, worse than some others I can think of.

NGL had a dreadful earnings report this past quarter. But I'm seeing things they're doing to patch it up plus the insider buys and unit buyback and then the sale of part interest in the propane biz. This pushes me to add as I did just this morning. I also believe a lot of investors determined to short NGL out of existence and got the huge snowball rolling downhill and gathering steam in the World of Negativism. Seeing that motivated me to accumulate a lot more units than I'd ever envisioned. And now it's paying off handsomely, so I've got to ask.......

What has you thinking about adding to the harem as opposed to favoring number 1 wife?

As for the legal crap, I won't be part of the class although I held close to 25,000 units prior to the announced merger/acquisition. I know unitholders seldom get anything meaningful but more than that is that I'm a very happy camper. No grudge to bear, no victimization feelings at all. In fact, each of the primary stocks I've launched with ALDW money or added to with same---all have done really well. So ALDW is paying off in numerous ways I'd not anticipated earlier.
