LINE dividend

Post by petrohawk »

It would seem to me LINE should substantially increase their dividend next year. A penny for your thoughts Dan ??

LINE's current dividend yield is approximately 10% and I see very little risk that they will reduce their monthly distributions. I am bullish on it because I believe the unit price will move higher as the analysts get a better feel for the "Post BRY Merger" LINE. After a big merger it always takes awhile for Wall Street to figure it out. I like the BRY merger because it gives LINE a lot more exposure to liquids. I think the unit price should be in the $35 range.

If oil & gas prices hold up (I think they will move higher) then LINE should be able to increase distributions next year. - Dan

PS: I have been spending a lot of time working on the Sweet 16 lately. I am finishing up profile updates on CLR and DVN today. I plan to spend more time on the companies in our High Yield Income Portfolio in June.
