Energy Transfer LP (ET) Options

Make sure you run it by your accountant before selling at a profit. I believe You will have to recapture all the depreciation and capital gains that took place during your ownership. You may get beat up on taxes pretty good.  Hold for life and enjoy the dividends. 

and yet...increased dollar amount buys less shares...but share value appreciation to boot. it's an awful dilemma.
sell now for the appreciation or let it ride for the dividend. what to do? what to do? i will admit that after this run up it is very tempting to
take some profits, yet my greed tells me there may be more appreciation and dividends continue to amass. no lie, i am at a quandary.
but what a fine mess we are in.

All great going forward with ET here wshaw. Appreciate your comment on the distribution but we all know when the price rockets up like ET's has, the percentage yield on the distribution also drops rapidly. Still a great return on the distribution.

I would no be surprised to see a larger increase in the distribution for next Q. ET is no longer the standout distribution payer that it once was and now has someone nipping at their heels. JMHO

Energy Transfer: Buy Baby Buy, The Investment Case Has Never Been Stronger
https://seekingalpha.com/article/4753356-energy-transfer-buy-baby-buy-the-investment-case-has-never-been-stronger

Nice 3.2% increase in this next quarterly distribution to .3250, announced late yesterday. Just like the "gift that keeps on giving," ET is the "Gem that just keeps on paying out larger and larger quarterly cash unit distributions."

February 7th  payable February 19th 

ET can be considered an AI stock in a way. Huge data centers need fuel to operate.  ET will power many of these new centers. 

Hard to say, but the midstream players in the energy sector, e.g. pipelines, all appear to be getting hit like this today. It has been quite a run here and in KMI of late.

Why the huge sell off today??

I do not believe it has been announced yet. Most likely February 7 or 8 as the last one was November 8.  

Does anyone know what the record date is for the up-coming dividend? TIA

What does appreciation of ET, KMI and USAC say about market expectations for Trump Amin more positive energy industry and interest rate moderation? Which is impacting these stock prices more ??

Yes, ET has done quite nicely, in the last year. I am expecting an even better year in 2025.

Nice to have ET back above $20, and KMI back above $30, where they belong.

Prudent...it's a beautiful thing. DRILL DRILL,DRILL,baby! 

Our Gem here is bumping up against its 52-week high, and even at this share price the distribution is 6.5%. New 5-year high for KMI today also.

Not in any way that I am aware of.

Will the potential opening of the Keystone Pipeline under Trump benefit ET? 

Great positive news W!

Great news. This is our gem that just keeps on growing and keeps on increasing the distributions. I have continued to have all of our distributions automatically reinvested in new unites/shares and will continue that practice.

Sorry it took so long to answer. Yes, each company will supply one.

Ok thank you. I also own sunoco as well as some mining stocks that are a partnership. Will there be seperate K1s for each stock I assume?

More acquisitions. Some things never change for ET

Texas pipeline giant Energy Transfer to expand network with $3.25 billion acquisition

you get a K-1 instead of a 1099. The distribution is not actually a dividend. Some of it is treated as profit and most of it is return of capital. Some folks think it complicates the tax return, but to me it is very simple. You just enter the numbers from the respective boxes on the tax return just as you would on a 1099. I have held ET for years and dont find it a problem. Some brokerage houses even have it so the form can be imported right into your tax return.

Im new to ET. What is the extra tax form about? What do we get taxed on ? The dividend? Thank you.

ex-div day.

Wow, ET great Q4 leads to bad day. Seems to be true on most of my positions today. Oh well, who can understand the recent markets. I am in positions for the long haul anyway.
