Just yesterday, one of those Fools, mwlove, tapped BreitBurn as a particularly timely bargain opportunity:
I'll bite after [the] sell-off. [BreitBurn's] buy of [Whiting Petroleum's] Oklahoma assets is likely to offer big increases in the bottom line. The company is already undervalued relative to its peers and this buy makes it more attractive because it will smooth out the income stream, beyond the boost in earnings. Toss in solid management, great distributions, and the tax advantages of a limited partnerships and its a very. Good long-term bet.
