But I still believe in the benefits of “boots on the ground.” If I’m investigating a retail stock, I visit store locations. If I’m researching an equipment manufacturer, I want to see its products operate and talk to its customers. And given my master limited partnership (MLP) holdings, a recent trip to… Read More

These days, you can do a lot of investment research from home. Nearly every financial document and economic report can be accessed online. But I still believe in the benefits of “boots on the ground.” If I’m investigating a retail stock, I visit store locations. If I’m researching an equipment manufacturer, I want to see its products operate and talk to its customers. And given my master limited partnership (MLP) holdings, a recent trip to one of the nation’s top shale plays was long overdue. In the late 19th century, Williamsport, Penn. was known as the “lumber capital of the world,” and had more millionaires per capita than anywhere else in the country. The street where the lumber barons built their homes, on a hill overlooking the Susquehanna River, is still called “Millionaire’s Row.” Lumber may have built Williamsport over a hundred years ago, but it is natural gas that is responsible for its riches in this century. In 2010, Williamsport was the seventh-fastest growing metropolitan area in… Read More

The United States has made improving its infrastructure a clear objective. In recent speeches promoting his renewed emphasis on the economy, President Barack Obama has been reinforcing his commitment to investing in the country’s infrastructure, saying, “We know strong infrastructure is a key ingredient to a thriving economy.”  That comes on the heels of his “fix it first” infrastructure proposal earlier this year that would allocate $40 billion for ailing highways, bridges and airports while setting another $10 billion aside to… Read More

The United States has made improving its infrastructure a clear objective. In recent speeches promoting his renewed emphasis on the economy, President Barack Obama has been reinforcing his commitment to investing in the country’s infrastructure, saying, “We know strong infrastructure is a key ingredient to a thriving economy.”  That comes on the heels of his “fix it first” infrastructure proposal earlier this year that would allocate $40 billion for ailing highways, bridges and airports while setting another $10 billion aside to create a national infrastructure bank. The push for more spending on infrastructure comes in response to data from the National Association of Civil Engineers that says domestic infrastructure is in dire need of an upgrade, projecting long-term spending needs in excess of $2 trillion.

Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (NYSE: BIP) owns and operates an impressive portfolio of… Read More
