And while my love for the company's products is great, and would certainly be a factor, I can assure you that my analysis of the profit potential posed by Apple stock will be like any other recommendation I make – completely objective.

The Big (and Profitable) Changes in MLPs

From the Editor: Shares of MarkWest Energy Partners (NYSE: MWE) are up 63% since Kent recommended them in Energy Advantage. Genesis Energy LP (Nasdaq: GEL) is up 71%. But the MLP market is about to get much more interesting, according to Kent. That's why he's targeting the "clones" now…

From the tax advantages to their high-paying yields, it's hard to beat the returns of a Master Limited Partnership (MLP).

And the good news for us is that this market is about to heat up again, especially when it comes to energy-based MLPs.

You see, the shape and focus of these MLPs is changing fast and for the better – even though it hasn't drawn much attention outside of these pages quite yet.

However, don't expect all of this to remain under the radar for too much longer.

The First Thing Yellen Should Do to Save America

There is so much to say about the United States government not defaulting.

I'd like to start with a thank you.

It isn't easy, but I'll try.

Thank you, Congress, for showing the world there's nothing wrong with the full faith and credit of the United States… and for showing the world that having full faith and credit in the United States government is a total bust.

An extension? Really? So, we go through this again in a matter of weeks?

Thanks.

But let's move on. Let's talk about Janet Yellen. She's far more relevant.

She's about to become the most powerful person in the United States – in the entire world, for that matter.
