I do the same thing when it comes to broadcasting my trades as I'm a firm believer that it will help a lot of investors newer to the particular stock than I may be.

A few years ago I got flak for disclosing positions, accused of bragging. I found myself upset at first and said as much publicly. But then a bunch of followers chimed in , defending THEIR right (!) to know what's going on in the mind of a more experienced eye. Naturally, I loved the response as it showed me that a person can, indeed, earn respect and, above all, trust.

NGL is obviously in recovery mode, now up on the day by 50 cents.

Those of us in the MLP arena know that energy is a great place to be. I've been wholly immersed in oil and gas stocks since the early 1990's and now can't imagine living without the same focus as I forage via the stock market. It's fun, rewarding, sometimes disappointing yet redeeming in other ways. And at this stage of my senior existence, it is validating through Internet-based friendships, some of which I very highly prize. It is a joy, knowing that we're able to touch the lives of others. Inspiring might be the best word for me.

As for MLPs? I think we here on this board and several others in related areas know these picks are unlike most others in that compression developed over the past two years has taken a toll. On the surface, distribution cuts have become the norm but it's the erosion of confidence in the hearts and minds and souls of investors that intrigues me most. Winning that confidence back presents the ultimate challenge. And that's at the core of what these boards confront.

It's so good having you here!
