After a healthy correction, Enterprise Products Partners' (EPD) stock, first discussed here on April 29, 2009 at a price of $24.24, is on the move again, and with good reason. There is a better than 30% chance that natural gas will become the U.S.'s state-of-the-art energy form of this decade.

The reason? Natural gas is abundant, cheap, accessible, and domestic, and in most cases a cleaner energy source than oil and certainly than coal. Enterprise Products Partners is an integrated provider of natural gas pipeline and processing services and natural gas liquids, fractionation, storage, transportation and terminal services. EPD also is a major developer of midstream infrastructure in the deepwater of the Gulf of Mexico.

China raised rates and US housing prices went down yet again. We even had yet another round of fund managers outed in the ongoing waves of insider trading charges. Somehow, some way, equities in the U.S. still made gains in what will be a seven day streak.

Here were Tuesday's unofficial closing bell levels:

Dow Jones 12,233.15 +71.52 (0.59%)
S&P 500 1,324.57 +5.52 (0.42%)

Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) logo"Eighteen percent: That's the compound annual rate of return that Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) has showered on investors the past decade," says utility sector specialist Roger Conrad.

The editor of The Utility Forecaster explains, "And with a yield of nearly 6 percent--and a payout growing almost 6 percent yearly--the owner and operator of midstream energy assets is on track for much more.

"Last March, Enterprise Products' legendary founder Dan Duncan passed. The company he left, however, is still growing rapidly, most recently tapping into the boom in natural gas liquids (NGL).

Veteran stock and investment analyst and now Bedford Oak Advisors Chairman Harvey Eisen has weighed-in on the oil/natural gas kabuki dance, with a bullish outlook for natural gas.

Oil, which historically trades at about 8 times the price of natural gas, currently is trading at about 20 times natural gas.

On Tuesday at mid-day, oil traded up 58 cents to $88.37 per barrel, while natural gas was down 1 cent to $4.40 per million British thermal units (MMBtu).

Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) logoFor several reasons, natural gas could become the state-of-the-art energy form of this decade, the decade of "the teens." With that in mind, Enterprise Products Partners (EPD), first discussed here on April 29, 2009, at a price of $24.24, has been favored in these circles.

Look for Enterprise's shares to continue to head north, and benefit from what's likely to be a renaissance period for natural gas in the United States in the decade ahead.

The editor of Dividend Genius newsletter explains, "The fundamentals for the energy company here have not changed, if anything they remain as strong as ever and the decline in the units is more the result of Enterprise being viewed as an energy name, not weakness in the company's business.

"Case and point: Enterprise was easily able to tap the capital markets in May, selling $400 million in notes due in 2015 at a fixed rate of 3.7%, $1 billion in notes due in 2020 at a fixed rate of 5.2% and $600 million in notes due in 2040 with a fixed rate of 6.45%.

Dan Duncan, who is a billionaire, understands the importance of patience (especially in creating lots of wealth). An example of this is his latest deal; that is, his company, Enterprise Products Partners LP (NYSE: EPD), has been pursuing Teppco Partners LP (NYSE: TPP) since March. At that time, Duncan offered about $2.8 billion for the company. And yes, according to the senior management at Teppco, it was too low.

Well, after some wrangling, there is now a deal. Of course, the price tag is higher -- at $3.3 billion (it's a stock-for-stock swap).

This post is part of our feature on Money Losers of 2008. See all 20.

There's no doubt about it -- times are tough. People are struggling to find work and to pay the bills as the value of their homes and savings dwindle. The poor get poorer, and the rich get richer.

Or do they? It's all relative, of course, but world's billionaires have been taking some big hits too. We take a look at Sheldon Adelson, Kirk Kerkorian, and Lakshmi Mittal in their own separate posts, but here are some other billionaires who have lost billions this year (courtesy of Forbes and Business Sheet).

  • Brothers Anil and Mukesh Ambani of India's private conglomerate Reliance lost $32.5 billion and $28.2 billion, respectively.
  • Warren Buffett, the Sage of Omaha, lost $16.5 billion. Shares of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.A) are down about 32% since the beginning of the year.
  • Microsoft (NYSE: MSFT) founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen lost $12.3 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively, while CEO Steve Balmer lost $6.5 billion. Shares of Microsoft are down 46% since the beginning of the year.
  • Larry Page and Sergey Brin, cofounders of Google Inc. (NYSE: GOOG), lost $11.9 billion and $11.7 billion, respectively, and CEO Eric Schmidt lost $3.8 billion. The share price of Google has fallen 55% since the beginning of the year.

"In recoveries from panic selloffs in the past, the energy patch has tended to outperform the S&P 500," notes energy sector specialist Elliott Gue.

In his The Energy Strategist, the advisor offers his outlook for the sector as well as a package of five favorite energy-related stocks, including ideas in the drilling, infrastructure. oil services and exploration areas.

"This has undoubtedly been the most challenging and unsettled market in recent history for the stock, bond, currency and credit markets. Not surprisingly, the energy sector hasn't been immune to the selling pressure.

"However, I would note that the selloff in most energy stocks I cover has little or nothing to do with fundamentals and everything to do with market sentiment and a pervasive sense of panic.

"Institutions are dumping stocks to raise cash and the primary fear infecting the energy markets is that a dramatic global economic slowdown coupled with a seizing up of credit markets will destroy demand for energy commodities..

Robert Phillips is a veteran of the energy world. He was the CEO of Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE: EPD), a major natural gas player. Before this, he was a chairman of GulfTerra and the CEO of Eastex Energy, Inc.

Now, Phillips has a new venture: Crestwood Midstream Partners LLC. In fact, he arranged a cool $500 million investment from the Blackstone Group LP (NYSE: BX) and GSO Capital Partners, an affiliate of Blackstone.

Basically, Phillips will use his extensive background to build a pipeline operation through internal development and acquisitions (the entity got its start in November 2007, with the help of Kayne Anderson). And, of course, in light of the energy problems in the US, the timing looks spot-on.

With its strong backing, Phillips should have little trouble attracting top-notch talent. He has already hired Joel Moxley, who was senior vice president of gas processing at Crosstex Energy Services, L.P., and Brad Graves, who was the executive vice president of business development at Genesis Energy, L.P.

Tom Taulli is the author of various books, including The Complete M&A Handbook and The Edgar Online Guide to Decoding Financial Statements. He also operates MergerBook.com.

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says lots of companies now thrive with crude up here.

Oil's not a tax on everything -- it's a tax on the consumer. That's what I come down to when I see the charts this weekend and ponder what's happening in so much of industrial America.

Company after company that I examine -- the new techs, as I call them -- actually benefit from higher oil prices. Or they can pass them on with ease, because of the worldwide demand being so strong.

Take all of the companies involved with making a Boeing (NYSE: BA) (Cramer's Take): Boeing itself, Alcoa (NYSE: AA) (Cramer's Take), Honeywell (NYSE: HON) (Cramer's Take) and Precision Castparts (NYSE: PCP) (Cramer's Take) being good examples. Each of these is necessary because the new Dreamliner burns lots less fuel, and with fuel the biggest airline cost, it stands to reason that higher energy prices make the plane more desirable even at a higher price point.

Or how about all of the companies involved with process and flow control and efficient motors: Parker-Hannifin (NYSE: PH) (Cramer's Take), Emerson (NYSE: EMR) (Cramer's Take), Eaton (NYSE: ETN) (Cramer's Take) and Flowserve (NYSE: FLS) (Cramer's Take). Those work higher with higher energy prices. CSX (NYSE: CSX) (Cramer's Take), Burlington Northern (NYSE: BNI) (Cramer's Take), Kansas City Southern (NYSE: KSU) (Cramer's Take), Union Pacific (NYSE: UNP) (Cramer's Take) and Norfolk Southern (NYSE: NSC) (Cramer's Take) are smaller energy users than trucks, and they ship plenty of ethanol and fertilizer.
