The editor of The Cash Machine explans, "I'm speaking of the Cushing MLP Total Return Fund (SRV), a NYSE listed closed-end fund that owns most of the leading gas Master Limited Partnerships.

The objective of the Cushing MLP Total Return Fund is to obtain a high after-tax total return from a combination of capital appreciation and current income. The fund will try to accomplish this by investing at least 80% of its net assets in MLPs.

Janus Flexible Bond (JAFIX) is a so-called multi-sector bond fund whose consistently good year-to-year performance has resulted in a sterling long-term record," says fund expert Mark Salzinger.

The editor of the No-Load Fund Investor explains, "For all of 2008 and 2009, Flexible Bond produced a cumulative total return of 18.9%, vs. only 6.9% for the multi-sector funds tracked by Morningstar.

"Over the past two years, the fund was the 10th best performer of every fund we track. In 2008, when most funds with significant holdings of corporate bonds produced major losses, Flexible Bond produced a gain of 5.6%.

And this category will hold up better than most when the markets undergo their long overdue price corrections.

"We believe it is prudent to lock in some profits, and focus on developing an income stream in the event that we get either a major correction or double-dip recession," says Glenn Rogers.
