My Biggest MLP Ranking Ever - With A Surprising Result
European investors pay to avoid Schedule K-1 - Plains GP trades 8.6% above Plains MLP, implying roughly 55 basis points per year in yield forgone for K-1 avoidance. TOLL+M ranking yields - Enterprise Products 5.7%, Energy Transfer 6.5%, MPLX 7.3%, Western Midstream 7.7%, Plains All-American 6.9%. Methodology change - O split into O1 competitive position and O2 counterparty durability, reflecting that MVCs protect fees not throughput; Chevron-Hess showed CVX 96% revenue, rigs 3->2, guidance +10% to flat. Sponsor exposure nuance - MPLX had Marathon at ~50% of revenue in 2Q26, creating captive alignment; WES converted sponsor ties to fixed-fee tolls as OXY returned 15.3m units (~$610m) and ownership fell to 37.7%. Prioritize irreplaceable infrastructure and diversified counterparties - EPD 14.7m bpd in 2Q, Mont Belvieu and Houston LPG ~90% contracted; ET >6 bcfd contracted; WES produced water 24% of adj gross margin.
Code or Gold: The Only Barbell That Makes Sense Right Now
Macro thesis - market structure is bifurcating, forcing capital to choose sides, with the economic middle at risk of structural decline from H2 2026 through 2030 and beyond Alphabet data shows token processing rose from 9.7 trillion to 3.2 quadrillion monthly, a >300x increase, underscoring explosive AI demand and compute-energy economics Market phase shift - after 18 months of broad AI outperformance we are in a digestion phase where firms must prove utilization, pricing power and ROI, raising stock selection risk Macro tension - AI-driven deflation and labor displacement clash with sovereigns running it hot via fiscal spending, subsidies and security budgets, creating uneven inflation pressures Portfolio action - adopt a barbell: overweight AI application leaders with proven unit economics and pricing power, plus real assets or energy producers, underweight leveraged legacy mids
The Permian Pumps More Water Than Oil: Why I Own WES for 9% Income

The Quiet Pipeline That Pays You While You Sleep: Why (MPLX) Is One of the Most Overlooked Income Plays in the Market
A midstream infrastructure giant with 90% fee-based cash flows is delivering a near-8% yield that has grown at nearly 11% annually over three years, yet institutional ownership sits below 20% of float. The cash flow predictability here ranks in the 98th percentile across the entire Vulcan database. That number alone changes how you size and hold an income position. Most retail investors avoid this structure because of its annual tax form. We break down exactly why that complexity creates the yield premium and what the actual tax advantage looks like. The company is deploying $2.4 billion in growth capital in 2026, with 90% directed toward natural gas and NGL infrastructure. Two major gas processing plants enter service this year alongside a pipeline expansion The Chowder Rule on this name clears 16.7%, well above the 12% threshold serious income investors use as a quality floor. The full peer comparison table may change how you look at the midstream sector.
When $40s Oil Becomes Your Entry Signal: The Midstream Anomaly Nobody's Talking About
A move into the $40s for oil would hurt sentiment across energy, but midstream MLPs (EPD, MPLX, OKE) are far more exposed to volumes and rates than to spot oil prices. Integrated majors (XOM, CVX) are partially insulated by downstream and chemicals; they feel the pain in upstream earnings, but their dividends remain well covered at $40–$45 oil in most scenarios. For the next 12 months, we see more volatility than true fundamental damage for quality midstream: base case is “flat to modestly up,” with high single-digit yields doing most of the work. In a deeper bear case (oil stuck near $40), we see another 10–20% downside for midstream prices, but yields would move into 9–10%+ “strong buy” territory, historically attractive entry points. Strategy: Keep core EPD/MPLX/OKE positions for income, trim only if you are overweight or extremely risk-averse, and be ready with clear re-entry bands if panic selling pushes yields to double digits.
