What about the oil trusts? They are basically like REIT's except their revenue is derived from selling oil rather than rents. The Canadian ones are going to lose their tax advantage in 2011 but the American ones may still be good. Good luck!

Excellent post, I enjoyed the moral of the story. I need to take the same approach when the time comes.

It is all about motivation and effort. There was a bit in the news about Penn Virgina finding a large supply of natural gas in Texas which has potential to boost its revenue for a while.

Jake: I actually owned SPH a while back. After doing my taxes the first year, I swore off Master limited Partnerships (MLP)

passivefamilyincome: Thanks for your kind words.

Dividend Growth Investor: See my comment to Jake - no more MLPs for me.

Div Guy: I think the oil prices will come down, but they will remain much higher than historical averages. The days of cheap

Until a month ago, we owned BP and XOM. Recently sold our XOM @$90.35/share. Our basis was $54/share. Didn't want to be greedy and get burned! We're hanging on to the BP since they pay a good dividend and they are diversifying into other energy sources.

In my opinion the price of oil does not matter when determining a good entry point for energy firms.

The best indicator is perception. When the sentiment exists that oil is going back down to $60/barrel that is when you buy if you’re bullish on oil long term. Good prices will not be had until the current sentiment shifts once again, as it always does.

I sold YPF today. I have held the stock for around a year and made over a 15% return. I still have a small holding of XOM that I have had for a few years now. I think oil prices will start coming back down after the summer. That is my guess for what it's worth.

What about KMP, TPP. They are somewhat energy related. I also couldn't make up my mind about XOM.. Seems a little rich to me..Maybe if it fell below $80..

Very motivating post. I like the thinking of actually taking advantage of the high energy costs by looking for stocks that can help hedge these costs. I look forward to learning more about your findings.

Good story. I would recommend looking at a propane company. I recently read an article that indicated people have brand loyalty to propane once they are hooked up.

I ran a stock screen last week and came up with Suburban Propane Partners (SPH). High dividend yield and it has been growing since they started paying it out in 1997. I took a bite.
