Hot Sliver Companies To Own In Right Now

Last year Vanguard Natural Resources (NASDAQ: VNR  ) changed its distribution policy and in so doing changed the game for oil and gas producing MLPs. The new monthly distribution policy enabled the company's income-seeking investors to better match their monthly cash outflows with monthly inflows from Vanguard. It was such a unique strategy that the company even trademarked the tag line that the company is "The Monthly Distribution MLP."

It's time alone at the top didn't last long; its industry peer LINN Energy (NASDAQ: LINE  ) recently announced that it too was moving to monthly payouts. LINN Energy basically created the oil and gas MLP space when it went public and it has been delivering both income and returns to investors ever since. Last fall while Vanguard was implementing its monthly distribution policy, LINN was busy creating LinnCo (NASDAQ: LNCO  ) which has really become a game changer for its business model.

In fact, it's changed the space so dramatically that now Vanguard is starting to consider creating one of its own. The company is looking at options to fund an increase in its growth capital budget, and in order to do so it's giving some serious consideration to creating a separate entity. Internally dubbed VanCo, the entity, if chosen, would force the company to change its strategy to start including a lot more growth capital.
