Anyone holding an MLP E&P after 11/2014 doesn't understand MLPs.
MLP is a good structure for pipelines but I've never seen how it's a good model for an E&P. Linn is essentially in a death spiral and a lot of their recent acquisitions will probably again be available only this time at cheaper metrics.

Luckily, LNCO isn't an MLP. It is a holding company that owns shares of an MLP.
Not sure how you arrived at your thesis, I'm assuming you are talking about the tax implications.

A lot of people have issues with the idea of putting depleting assets and large commodity exposure (upstream/E&P) inside of a structure that is supposed to have stable cash flows and distributions, an MLP.

They definitely went crazy with what they would jam into an MLP. I'm pretty sure someone put a refinery in one.

I was speaking to LINE specifically and E&P MLPs generally. E&P MLPs were going to get killed by interest rates or a commodity price collapse. The latter happened first.

I bought LNCO recently, just as a trade.
I agree with you on that point.

Do you think LNCO survives an LINE implosion?
Posted on 8/4/15 at 5:57 pm to cwill
It can't, all it owns is LINE. LNCO is for folks that want or need to avoid a K-1.
eta: on the topic of stupid ideas for MLP's. I heard a lot worse two years ago at the height of all this mania. A couple lawyers that were hosting a MLP 101 session joked about putting food trucks that served drilling sites and pipeline construction spreads into an MLP. Everyone chuckled a bit, but it didn't seem that far fetched at the time.

^^ the same assets drive them both, they are the same company, just in different structures; both rise and fall together.

Obviously not. My point was that my purchase was a trade, not an investment. I bought it a couple weeks back. Definitely bleeding on this one, but I will live to fight another day.
I think Linn is a fine operator, the highly levered structure is tough, but the large number of wells makes it much more of a pure play than other stocks that have been beaten down.
