I’ve just returned from the annual investing conference sponsored by the MLP industry group, the National Association of Publicly Traded Partnerships. Despite the rate scare rocking the markets this week, the mood at the event, which was notably larger than last year’s, was unequivocally bullish, and I came away confident about continued growth in distributions.

I will have more in Tuesday’s special issue of MLP Profits, including personal impressions, analysis of the best panels and partnership presentations and an exclusive interview with a senior executive at the largest master limited partnership. Have a great weekend!
