There has not been a link provided. It showed up on my screen through Benzinga, just a headline but jarring all the same. As one of our moderators has stated, it didn't involve injuries and it may not amount to much at all. I hope so.

Regarding post-distribution value drops.....the SEC mandates that brokerages reflect the amount of the discontinued distribution by dropping unit value on the opening of trading immediately following the stock's going ex-dividend. However, as has been amply noted on this board, we should expect to see a sizable correction going forward in an amount well more than the $1 we receive next week. After all, money sitting in any shares of any investment vehicle gather nothing but dust unless there's a scheduled payout pending or reason to expect sizable changes in capital appreciation. A $30 value placed on NTI makes sense but not today. A couple of months from now may pose a different story.

This morning I traded a couple of thousand units of NTI in for a similar amount of GE. So far, both decisions are paying off. I am waiting and watching CVRR and ALDW as I believe both will price lower over the next six to eight weeks. In my opinion, the current refining environment justifies positions in all three.

Best of good fortune to all!

It did, thats why it lost around the divi today. You wont get paid for a bit tho, I dont know when its paid. I know today was the ex-div date.
