Advisor Access spoke with EPD’s President Randy Fowler.
Advisor Access: Randy, would you mind sharing your perspective of the market for master limited partnerships (MLPs) from where you sit?
Randy Fowler: Recently, in our earnings call, I shared a summary of how Benjamin Graham, author of The Intelligent Investor, used the metaphor of Mr. Market to explain market sentiment. Every day Mr. Market tells us how he is valuing the worth of a business. Some days, he is enthusiastic and some days, he is fearful.

We reported fourteen operational and financial records that underpin the strong performance. These quarterly records include adjusted EBITDA of $1.77 billion; DCF of $1.43 billion; and overall pipeline transportation volumes (on a barrel equivalent basis) of 9.82 million barrels per day. We also loaded 169,000 barrels per day of ethane for exports, and our marine terminals handled 802,000 barrels per day of crude oil imports/exports…
