"Enterprise Products (EPD) is is a fine example of the baby being thrown out with the bath water," says Jim Trippon.

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%. Of course, those yields pale in comparison to the 7.1% you get by owning Enterprise units directly.

"When it comes to bond managers, you won't find better than Bill Gross, founder and Managing Director of Pacific Investment Management Company (PIMCO)," asserts Amy Calistri.

The editor of The Daily Paycheck explains, "Gross is considered the world's foremost fixed income authority. And when you own the PIMCO Corporate Income Fund (PCN), you tap into his expertise and enviable track record.

"While stocks have moved up and down sharply in recent months, minibonds have just kept bobbling along, still paying their big dividends and accruing cash to keep paying those dividends," says income advisor Neil George.

The editor of The Pay Me Strategy explains, "You might be surprised to learn how large the universe of minibonds is; there are always new opportunities to add to your minibond collection. Take a peek at what I've found and perhaps take a nibble or two.

For example, media companies CBS (RBV) and Viacom (VNV) have both had to deal with cost containment challenges while trying to bolster revenues from their audiences and advertisers.

"There is an asset class that allows investors to buy individual bonds as cheaply as individual stocks; exchange-traded debt securities trade on major U.S. exchanges with tickers, and trade just like stocks," says Amy Calistri.

The editor of The Daily Paycheck -- newsletter service focuses on developing and maintaining an income-generating portfolio -- explains, "There are dozens of exchange-traded debt securities available.

"Specifically, I've been keeping an eye on Ford Motor Credit 7.60% Notes (FCJ). an exchange-traded debt securit, with an annual dividend of $1.90, providing a current yield of 7.9%.

"As background, Ford Motor Company (F) was the only one of the "Big Three" automobile manufacturers that didn't take a government handout.

"While certainly challenged during the economic downturn, Ford benefited from the relative weakness of its peers. Consumers preferred buying from Ford rather than a rival headed for bankruptcy court.

"In our latest report, we focus on floating rate funds, also referred to as bank loan funds. In an era where money market funds are yielding about about zero percent, the two floating rate funds reviewed here sport 30-day yields on either side of 3.5%," says Walter Frank.

The editor of MoneyLetter explains, "They are considered short-term funds, their prices fluctutate (unlike those of money funds), and they carry a higher degree of risk. Recall that most bonds, issued by corporations or governments, have fixed interest rates that do not change for the life of the bond.

"You're probably having a tough time these days if you live off the interest from your investment portfolio; money market accounts are now yielding a paltry 0.76%," observes fund specialist Ron Rowland.

The contributing editor to Money and Markets explains, "There is no big mystery why this is happening ... Ever since the banking system started blowing up back in 2008, Ben Bernanke and his Federal Reserve have kept short-term interest rates at historic lows. That's great for bankers, terrible for savers.

"Many investors are watching their income slide. These low rates have income-investors looking for new sources of steady interest and dividends. The alternatives are few. And I'm concerned that some people are so desperate that they're risking their principal in ways they don't even realize!

So I was pleasantly surprised when I came across Evergreen Global Dividend Opportunities (EOD)," says Amy Calistri, an income advisor who focuses building and maintaining a monthly dividend portfolio.

"Our high-income stocks are doing well; but lately, I've wanted to add a high-income play in the oil and gas sector," says Mark Skousen.

"Dozens of companies in the S&P 500 Index cut their dividends in 2009, equating to $52 billion in lost dividend income; added up, last year was the worst year on record for dividend cuts," says income specialist Carla Pasternak.

The editor of High Yield Investing explains, "But now that a recovery has taken hold, dividend increases are back on the rise -- payments among S&P 500 companies are expected to increase +5.6% this year. To celebrate this good news, I've decided to help you track down what I believe is the safest dividend in the S&P.

"Cheniere Energy Partners, LP. (CQP), a master limited partnership, is the owner and operator of the Sabine Pass LNG receiving terminal in Cameron Parish; the 853 acre facility is in a prime location with vast LNG capacity," notes income specialist Bryan Perry.

The editor of The Cash Machine explains, " The regasification ability of the terminal is about 2.6 billion cubic feet per day, and it can store about 10.1 billion cubic feet of LNG. That sounds like a lot -- and it is -- but CQP wants the Sabine Pass LNG to expand capacity even more. So in April of 2008, the company began its expansion project.
