MLPs

Investors interested in yield (who isn't these days) should consider master limited partnerships (MLPs).  These are a bit tricky, however, and you just can't load up on them in an IRA.

Here is the best article I have read in some time on MLPs by Steven Bavaria entitled "One Thing Jim Cramer Didn't Mention About IRAs."  It explains the "UBIT" - unrelated business taxable income well and tells how to get around it.
