Calumet Announces Distribution Increase


One of my recent purchases, Calumet Specialty Products (CLMT) announced a distribution increase from 49.5 cents per share to 50 cents per share.  My expected distribution of $276.25 this quarter went up to $279.  Not much, but every bit helps!  Hopefully, more good news is on the way.

Recent Purchase

I got the dip I had been waiting for today, and I picked up 58 shares of CLMT.  The stock (MLP) took a pretty hefty haircut today, closing at 18.00 per share.  This is due to the company selling 11 million units (shares) to finance some debt that was generated in the purchase of an oil refinery.  I'm confident that this is a good entry point for this stock.  At its current price its distribution (dividend) is yielding 11%.  My purchase means an additional $28.71 per quarter at the current distribution.  I'm not concerned with the possibility of a distribution cut at this point, as they recently raised it from 0.475 to 0.495 per share per quarter.  Anyway, I'm happy with this one; I've had my eye on CLMT for a while.  Time will tell how good of an investment it is, what do you think?
