I want to start by saying I am far from a financial adviser but if anyone is interested I may occasionally post ideas for consideration during this time of ultra low interest rates. These thoughts are simply things to bounce off your personal adviser, no more.
LNCO is the corporate arm of LINN Energy LP. Limited partnerships produce what is called a K-1 for tax reporting and it is a nightmare. LINN has brought forth a management arm that only sends a 1099 at year end so it is not complicated to report.
With it's current price per share (PPS) it yields around 7.7% paid quarterly. Linn is a strong company as you will see from the following description. Any stock can lose money so know that going in. This is simply one I like at this time. KMI is another one with promise and the same 1099 tax reporting but I like LNCO better currently.
Remember, LNCO is the right symbol. LINE will put you in the MLP category.
Good hunting.......Ken
