To obtain a complet copy of The Van Buren Reports Top 10 MLP’s for 2010, please e-mail CustomerService@VanBurenReport.com with the word “MLP” in the subject line and we will send you a free copy of the report within 48 hours.

The Good:

Kinder Morgan is simply the best run MLP in the business today.  KMP sports a nice dividend of over $4 per share and that dividend is safe as KMP delivers a high cash flow every quarter.  KMP is one of the largest pipeline MLP’s and despite being a large MLP still has room to grow.  No MLP transfers or stores energy better than KMP.  The company has over a billion dollars on the books to finance projects and make further acquisitions.  This is a great position to be in and their debt is a non-factor.  We think Chairman Rick Kinder is the best in the business.

The Bad:

Kinder Morgan should be in good position but a couple of set backs to new projects could hurt the bottom line.

The Lowdown:

The best in the biz right now with a solid and safe dividend.

Dover Corp. [DOV]

The Good

The Dover Corporation is an overall solid company with great fundamentals and a shareholder friendly history to boot.  The company has raised its dividend each year over the past 50 years.  A highly diversified business, Dover made it through the tough recent economic struggles with flying colors.  This industrial giant has very little debt and continues to slowly grow.  Its business model excels at keeping operating expenses to a minimum thus ensuring maximum profitability.  Ranked number 38 on The Van Buren Report’s Top 50 Stocks of 2010, Dover should have a terrific 2010 as the recession comes to an end and commodity prices ease up.  Take a look at The Dover Corporation for your next potential purchase.

The Bad

The Dover Corporation does have a significant amount of international exposure as almost 50% of its current projects are based outside of the U.S.  Betting a big chunk of your business on projects abroad is always a risky proposition.

The Lowdown

Well run company that should have a big 2010 as commodity prices go down.  Excellent cash flow and expansion make this company a winner.
