Just yesterday, one of those Fools, oumedstudent, tapped the stock as an attractive bargain opportunity:
BreitBurn shows a lot of potential as a value stock. I like the low P/E and the recent downward trend of the stock. I think getting in around $16 provides a safe starting point and the high dividend yield is nice. [Their] expected earnings look good for the next few quarters.
