Advisors' Opinion:- [By Ben Levisohn]
It’s the moment investors in Linn Energy (LINE) have been waiting for–the SEC’s decision to approve or block it merger with Berry Petroleum (BRY).
REUTERSFrom Linn Energy’s press release:
LINN Energy, LLC, LinnCo, LLC (LNCO) and Berry Petroleum Company (the “Companies”) announced today that the final Registration Statement on Form S-4 has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and the Companies have also filed definitive proxy materials with the SEC.
Raymond James analyst Pavel Molchanov explains the significance:
LINN Energy and Berry Petroleum announced that the SEC has declared their S-4 effective. At this point the companies are in the process of mailing out the proxy materials. LINN Energy and Berry Petroleum have scheduled a shareholder vote date of December 16, and the record date for the company�� shareholders is November 14….This is clearly positive news for both LINE and BRY shareholders. The SEC approval helps remove the cloud of doubt that has been hanging over the upstream MLP business model. Look for both stocks to rally on today�� news.
And indeed it has been. Linn Energy has gained 1.7% to $30.17, Linn Co. has edged up 0.5% to $31.85 and Berry Petroleum has risen 1.1% to $51.49.
- [By Tyler Crowe]
Conversely, producers of oil and natural gas will want to write a sell contract, or take the "short position" whenever they believe that the prices of oil and gas are about to drop. Probably one of the most visible companies participating in these kinds of contracts is LINN Energy (NASDAQ: LINE ) �As a master limited partnership looking to provide consistent payouts to its shareholders, it writes several hundred million dollars in futures contracts to shield against any major price fluxes that would damage the company's ability to pay out distributions.
- [By Ben Levisohn]
Not that an investors needs to choose just one, but Raymond James has a clear preference for LinnCo (LNCO) over Linn Energy (LINE). Raymond James analysts Kevin Smith and Jeff Schmidt explain why:
- [By Tyler Crowe]
If you're looking for income investments, then it's awfully hard to argue with the massive distribution payments from LINN Energy (NASDAQ: LINE ) (NASDAQ: LNCO ) , Breitburn Energy Partners (NASDAQ: BBEP ) , and Vanguard Natural Resources (NASDAQ: VNR ) . Thing is, though, income investments need both a decent yield and a level of certainty that it will keep that distribution going for many years to come. Other than being high-yielding investments, they are also all master limited partnerships, which means you need to look beyond just the operations to see how these companies will stand the test of time.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Arjun Sreekumar]
Most Recently, BP (NYSE: BP ) ��along with ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM ) and ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP ) ��said it plans to invest an additional $1 billion in the North Slope of Alaska over the next five years, spurred by a tax reform signed into law in May that makes drilling in the region more attractive to oil companies. �
- [By Tyler Crowe]
Drilling in the North Slope of Alaska is inherently expensive, and it has caused several major oil companies to steer capital expenditures away from the region. Both ConocoPhillips� (NYSE: COP ) and Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS-A ) have put major holds on their drilling programs in Alaska as of late, citing both high costs and regulatory uncertainty for the cutbacks. So while the more lucrative tax incentives may help, it may not be enough to turn Alaska's production numbers around.�
- [By Jonathan Yates]
That has pushed the price of major oil companies such as ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP), Chevron (NYSE: CVX) and Occidental Petroleum (NYSE: OXY) lower in response. There are three main reasons why investors should look upon these falling prices as an opportunity to buy oil company stocks at a discount for the long-term.
