Advisors' Opinion:

  Question: What is your outlook for Kinder Morgan Energy Partners LP (NYS! E: KMP)?

  Answer: I like Kinder Morgan Energy Partners for the long term. I like the recent purchase of tanker assets as a complement to its core energy midstream business. Management continues to invest heavily in new infrastructure. I think it’s well positioned to benefit from the continuing growth of North American energy production.
  Distribution growth guidance for 2014 is modest and could surprise to the upside, as was the case in 2013.

  Many coal producers have pegged their hopes on coal's international growth. Peabody Energy (NYSE: BTU  ) for example, purchased coal operations in Australia a couple of years ago to better position the company to take advantage of demand growth in the region. Further, the company, along with peers including Arch Coal (NYSE: ACI  ) , have inked coal export agreements with Kinder Morgan Partners (NYSE: KMP  ) to get U.S.-produced coal to the global marketplace.

  The right way to play coal
  Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (NYSE: KMP  ) made headlines when it announced that it planned to augment its terminals business by buying up natural resource properties and charging a fee for its customers to mine them. It seemed like a great way to play coal while mitigating commodity risk, it seemed new and different, but PVR Partners has been doing that forever! Really, though, since 1882.
