But how does an investor judge whether an MLP is at risk of a surprising distribution cut? As we discussed recently in The Unkindest Cut for MLPs, some classes of MLP are more susceptible to cuts than others. For variable distribution MLPs, it’s par for the course. Distributions go up, and they go down — depending on market conditions. MLPs focused on upstream oil and gas operations are also at greater risk of a distribution cut during periods of softening oil and gas prices.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Alex Planes]
This, at least, seems to indicate a superior position for SoCo over its more diversified rival. SoCo has also been investing heavily in new infrastructure to exploit its assets. In nominal terms, the company's capital expenditures are less than half Freeport's, but run six times as high as smaller competitor Taseko Mines (NYSEMKT: TGB ) :

Vancouver, British Columbia-based Taseko Mines (NYSEMKT: TGB ) needs to find itself a new chief financial officer. The one it had has flown the coop.
- [By Joshua Bondy]
Taseko Mines� (NYSEMKT: TGB ) is a relatively small miner that owns Canada's second largest open pit copper mine. The company is not profitable, but it is working on a number of interesting projects. Investing in undeveloped mines is risky, but Taseko mitigates these risks by focusing on projects in Canada where resource nationalization is a very small threat.�

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Chad Fraser]
As we wrote in a November 14 Investing Daily article, the Department of Energy (DOE) has approved the construction of four LNG terminals, while one of those, Cheniere Energy Partners’ (NYSE: CQP) Sabine Pass terminal, has gotten the green light from the DOE and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), both of which are necessary. The DOE currently has 20 more projects awaiting a decision. Cheniere plans to start up Sabine Pass in 2015.

What went wrong�
LNG terminal and pipeline development expenses for the Cheniere Energy Partners (NYSEMKT: CQP ) liquefaction facility at Sabine Pass LNG terminal and pipeline development expenses for the proposed liquefaction facility at Corpus Christi Losses on interest rate derivatives purchased in August 2012 in connection with its senior secured credit facility Increases in general and administrative expenses, attributed to awards doled out as part of the company's long-term incentive plan at its Sabine Pass facility
Cheniere's management attributes the widening losses to several things:In other words, rising expenses -- some the company can control and some it cannot -- really hurt Cheniere this quarter. Operating costs were up 91% year over year. The loss on derivatives also increased significantly, from $836,000 in 2012 to $17.5 million this year.

- [By Jonathan Yates]
Investors have certainly been "fearful" of the coal sector. The exchange traded fund for coal, Market Vectors Coal (NYSE: KOL), is off nearly 20 percent for the year. Stocks such as Arch Coal (NYSE: ACI) and Alpha Natural Resources (NYSE: ANR) are also down sharply for 2013. But Peabody Energy (NYSE: BTU) just surprised Wall Street in beating forecasts for the most recent quarter: as a result, its share price is up more than 7 percent for the week.
- [By Aaron Levitt]
Simply put, the coal stocks trio of Peabody Energy (BTU), Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) and Cloud Peak Energy (CLD) could be some of the biggest bargains out all energy stocks.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By James E. Brumley]
Quick, what do Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (NYSE:WMT), Whole Foods Market, Inc. (NASDAQ:WFM), and Jamba, Inc. (NASDAQ:JMBA) - the purveyor of Jamba Juice smoothie shops - have in common? They're all three offering at least one product from KonaRed Corp. (OTCBB:KRED). All told, KRED products can be found in a variety of retail outlets, ranging from mass marketers like WMT to niche players like WFM to service providers like JMBA to convenience stores like 7-Eleven to grocers like Albertson's to.... well, the point becomes clear. KonaRed is in a lot of places. Yet, the number of spots where a KRED could multiply by eight by the middle of the year. In fact, the organization's growth rate is the most exciting - and perhaps most understated - aspect of the KonaRed story.
