KMI is a C-corporation that owns the General Partner of KMP and EPB, and pays regular dividends. KMP (also EPB) is a Master Limited Partnership (MLP) that pays distributions, and investors get a K-1 form at tax time. KMR is the same business entity as KMP except distributions are paid in shares rather than in cash; i.e., distributions are automatically reinvested in the stock. I hope this helps.Dividend Growth Machinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304571550687216360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800029095243726187.post-13738024836988874532013-12-12T16:16:13.306-05:002013-12-12T16:16:13.306-05:00Hi DGM,

However, I'll be raking in some nice quarterly dividends that will help super-charge the rest of my portfolio through reinvestment. :)Dividend Growth Machinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304571550687216360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800029095243726187.post-23647233433865269252013-12-09T18:24:35.772-05:002013-12-09T18:24:35.772-05:00CI: It is difficult to come up with an accurate va...CI: It is difficult to come up with an accurate valuation for KMI; in some respects it ends up being more of a qualitative judgment than a quantitative one. I thought the financial expectations for 2014 were decent, except for EPB. Fortunately, KMI's stake in KMP helps to compensate for lackluster performance by EPB.Dividend Growth Machinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304571550687216360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800029095243726187.post-68269361387374148622013-12-09T18:21:20.107-05:002013-12-09T18:21:20.107-05:00Anonymous: For MLPs and MLP-related stocks (such a...Anonymous: For MLPs and MLP-related stocks (such as KMI/KMP/KMR), the earnings behind their P/E ratios are misleading, which is why they are generally valued based on cash flow measures. The same is true for REITs. As a result, I look at dividend growth projections, historical fundamental comparisons, and fair value estimates from various sources (Morningstar, S&P, Value Line, etc.) to get a rough idea of a stock's valuation, but I admit that it can be a tough judgment.Dividend Growth Machinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304571550687216360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800029095243726187.post-88758007642649722982013-12-09T18:14:12.416-05:002013-12-09T18:14:12.416-05:00DM: Thank you!

It's nice to get a chance to average down and substantially reduce my cost basis. Even if the stock declines further or stays relatively flat, I'll be collecting a pretty sweet dividend every few months.Dividend Growth Machinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304571550687216360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800029095243726187.post-11734876056290089962013-12-09T18:10:53.554-05:002013-12-09T18:10:53.554-05:00Captain: Good point -- I would be shocked if I got...Captain: Good point -- I would be shocked if I got an 8% raise at my job.

It's now my biggest position, but I'm still considering adding to it.<br /><br />I like to think of it as a super-charged utility - high current yield with a high DGR. Can't believe it's yielding almost 5% now.

As said, I just getting my hands around understanding how to evaluate individual stocks if its righly priced for purchase. In general the concencus seems to be that, if a stocks p/e is above 20, then its over priced (atleast from p/e valuation point). How is KMI different and why we shouldn't be concerned abt p/e > 20 in this case.

I wasn't planning on adding to KMI, but these prices are hard to pass up. You've got a really nice sized position in the company now. Those KMI dividends are going to be very hefty. Nice! A 5% dividend with 8% growth (albeit lower than 12%) is very attractive. <br /><br />Best wishes!Dividend Mantrahttp://www.dividendmantra.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800029095243726187.post-82380211885945179342013-12-06T21:08:07.865-05:002013-12-06T21:08:07.865-05:00I am keeping an eye on KMI as well and may add to ...I am keeping an eye on KMI as well and may add to my position in the near future.
