I'll check back here for more stock ideas. Most of my passive income derives from Canadian unit trusts, and they pay out on a monthly basis. Maybe you can check those out, but I know you're an American so there might be some tax implications.

I do not pay rent, utilities, health/vision/dental insurance, and receive money for food. There is more to our compensation than just the salary I guess. <br /><br />Anyways I'm happy to serve and have had the chance to go all over the country and all over the world. Seeing third world countries really puts things into perspective and makes it easier to be frugal. Much of the world lives on next to nothing, the USA is a wonderful place. We are a bit excessive though.Compounding Incomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04207986983526689578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232481098066200105.post-59395712771705349262013-03-01T02:39:18.543-05:002013-03-01T02:39:18.543-05:00Thanks for the encourgement.

Actually, I plan to do what your doing...I just have to wait 39 months to start.

But It's always encouraging to see fellow bloggers reaching their goals one milestone at a time. Keep up the great work.

Anytime they start talking about something you don't understand pause the webcast and google it. <br /><br />Linn is not a super stable company like a JNJ or a PG. It is currently about 3.1% of my portfolio which sounds about right to me. This one is not without risks. <br /><br />This thing is setup to pay unit holders and shareholders massive distributions. That's what it does. It's kind of like owning KMP except there is no KMI (and it's not a pipeline company). There is no general partner to suck up IDRs. It grows through M&A since it pays out basically all of its DCF. So I have to expect secondaries and new debt issues. It's going to happen. I think in 2006 Linn was worth about 600mill after the Berry deal is approaching 10bill.<br /><br />They look for acquisitions that are accreditive to DCF. Once the deals are complete and they have increased cash flows they pay it out to unit holders. At some point it may be hard to find new deals or new deals aren't going to be accreditive anymore. The party might end. I mean how big can it really get?<br /><br />They use hedging to set a floor on cash flows. 100% of production is hedged 4-5 years out if I remember correctly. The point of it is to be certain they will have enough cash to pay distributions. Last year nat. gas was selling around $2-$2.50 at one point. Because LINE hedged they were effectively still able to sell the natural gas from their wells at something like $5. Hedging costs money, but it makes cash flow a lot more stable. The feast or famine nature of natural gas and oil prices are kept in check.<br /><br />The biggest advantage of Linn compared similar companies such as QRE that I see right now is the fact they have been doing this longer and LNCO. Since LNCO is a C-corp (it owns LINE units) it gives Linn a whole new universe of potential acquisition targets. I don't think Linn could have closed the Berry deal without LNCO and the Berry deal is supposed to increase my distributions by about 6.2%. They are pioneers and I bet the industry will follow their lead and set up their own C-Corp holding companies. Very innovative. At first I thought they created LNCO so shareholders could put LINE in an IRA. No, it is access to capital markets to close deals and grow distributions.<br /><br />LINE and LNCO are risky, but I see potential. I don't kid myself here, I'm not an expert and do not fully grasp everything they do. Same with most of my other companies. <br /><br />There is a lot to take in if you decide to look closely at this company.<br /><br />CheersCompounding Incomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04207986983526689578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232481098066200105.post-14028877396954430372013-02-23T15:36:18.756-05:002013-02-23T15:36:18.756-05:00It's a pity you don't have a donate button...It's a pity you don't have a donate button!

You're doing something very rare, and that's something to be proud of. <br /><br />Hitting $4,800 in passive income is amazing. The compound snowball is really starting to roll downhill now. Look out below!<br /><br />Great raises there. WMT also had a huge one. <br /><br />What do you think of LNCO? I've looked at it before, and seeing how you're long LINE I figured you'd have an opinion. Is there something that specifically differentiates LINE from competitors or something that you're particularly excited about? I viewed the LNCO investor presentation a while back and it was really confusing to me.
