Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Robert Rapier]

  Vanguard Natural Resources (NASDAQ: VNR) isn’t technically an MLP, but the differences will be transparent to most MLP investors. It is certainly worth considering, and one we have recommended. However, my preference would be to pick this one up at a slight discount from the current unit price of $28.48.

  Among its peers in the MLP and LLC space, LINN by far hedges the most production. BreitBurn Energy Partners (NASDAQ: BBEP  ) , for example, has hedged roughly 75% of its production through 2015, whereas LINN is 100% hedged through 2016. BreitBurn almost exclusively uses swaps as its hedge of choice. It's a similar story at Vanguard Natural Resources (NASDAQ: VNR  ) , which also uses swaps to almost exclusively hedge natural gas while using three-way collars to hedge about a third of its oil production. While LINN could get more creative, one thing I'd be surprised to hear is that it's going to join these two peers and leave some of its production unhedged.
