Energy Transfer LP Common Units representing limited partner interests

I have a dividend portfolio. I picked SCHD, ET, and EPD because I just want income from this portfolio. VTI or FBGRX seem more like you’re wanting capital appreciation. For me I separated growth/cap appreciation into a different portfolio.

8:00 AM ET: Top Five Gappers With the Live News Feed

Top 5 Premarket Gappers at 6:50 AM ET, August 17

**President Trump is expected to attend a meeting on Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. ET** at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, next to the West Wing. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig is expected to be there, and an SEC spokesperson confirmed Chairman Paul Atkins will attend as well. Politico first reported the gathering, Bloomberg reported Trump's expected attendance, and Semafor listed invitees including Coinbase, a16z, Kalshi, Paradigm, The Digital Chamber, and Patrick Witt, executive director of the President's Council of Advisers for Digital Assets.
**The meeting is a kickoff for the CFTC's Innovation Advisory Committee**, which holds its first session on Thursday from 1 to 4 p.m. ET and will be viewable online per its Federal Register notice. Selig named the committee's 35 members in February, among them Polymarket's Shayne Coplan and Kalshi's Tarek Mansour, alongside executives from Cboe, CME, DTCC and Nasdaq. The agenda he released covers three subjects: crypto asset regulation, artificial intelligence, and prediction markets.
**That third item is the one to watch**. The agenda specifically flags how federal and state authority should divide when it comes to overseeing prediction markets, and recent state litigation and enforcement actions. Selig's position is that the CFTC has exclusive jurisdiction over event contracts, and he has sued several states over their attempts to restrict Kalshi and Polymarket. Baltimore sued both companies last week over sports-related contracts.
**Here is the legal reality behind all the choreography**. Whether federal derivatives law displaces state gambling law is a preemption question, and preemption gets settled by courts reading a statute or by Congress writing a clearer one. An advisory committee has no power to decide it, and neither does a meeting at the White House. Wednesday and Thursday will produce signals about how the agency intends to act. They will not produce a binding answer.

**Question: should a federal regulator be able to override state gambling law by classifying an event contract as a derivative, or does that call belong to Congress in explicit statutory language? Where you land on this decides whether these products survive the next two years.**

I spent months testing six classic intraday strategy types on 14 years of Nasdaq data — trend following, mean reversion, opening range breakout, VWAP, support/resistance retests, and SMC/ICT-style structure.
All six came out around breakeven. Profit factors between 0.91 and 1.02, low drawdown, win rates in the 30–50% range. The kind of numbers that make you think you just need to tune something.
Then I ran one check:
**Drop the top 10% most profitable trades, then recompute.**
The logic is simple — if an edge is real, it should survive losing its best trades. If the whole thing was carried by a few lucky outliers, it won't.
Results after the cut: 0.42, 0.36, 0.33, 0.30, 0.38, 0.28.
All six. Not one held up. Every strategy turned out to be a handful of big winners sitting on top of a losing distribution, and I would never have seen it from the headline numbers.
Setup, for anyone who wants to poke holes in it: NAS100 15-minute bars, 2012–2026, regular trading hours only, 75-point stop, 2R target, breakeven stop at 1R, no entries after 15:30 ET, forced close at the bell, 2 points per round trip for commission and slippage. One parameter set per strategy — I deliberately didn't optimize, because past a certain point you're just manufacturing a winner.
The reason I'm posting: "around breakeven" gets treated as a neutral result, like you're almost there. In my experience it's usually a failed result wearing a disguise, and this is the cheapest way I know to tell which one you've got. It's about ten lines of code.
If you've got a strategy you believe in, run it. I'd genuinely like to hear from someone whose survived.

yeah — Wednesday is the July minutes (2pm ET), next meeting is September. still a vol print, just not a rate decision.

PDO, ET, CLX and CPB. This includes an income fund, energy pipeline and two high dividend stocks that will do ok in s downturn. Augment with GLD and DVN to mitigate coming inflation and oil shock. Good luck.

OK, it's been a decade since I worked with those tools, so let me ask:
* How many of those holdings are individual stocks, *vs.* ET and Mutual Funds?
* Are you hitting the holdings limit **just** on the funds?
* (If no:) Did you try excluding the non-fund holdings, and just X-raying the funds?

Size and scale of business. EPD, MPLX, and ET are the 3 kings. All the other ones are just gambling.

Thank you again for your time and business.

Appreciate it, I was planning on MPLX but wasn’t sure if I should take a stronger look at some of the other options like WES and PAA. You never know what the future may bring and maybe one day I do add them, but right now my strategy is to stick to 3 MLPs of which two are taken up by ET and EPD

No... Only use them to buy more stocks... I have about 100k in EPD and 50k in ET. Right now, that's about 10k a year in dividends. But, in 26 years when I'm full retirement age, that could be 100k+ without me adding another penny and until I reach a 0 cost basis, it's tax free.
I put my monthly contributions beyond 401k in to growth stocks with the thinking that I'll earn a bit more now doing that and gradually transition that towards dividends as I get closer to retirement, too. My goal is to transition enough over for a steady tax free income the first few years to keep insurance costs lower.
If you just take dividends now to pay utilities, you're throwing out a lot of potential.

I currently hold ET and EPD in a taxable account and am looking to add a third MLP. I’m comfortable with K-1s and am not looking for ETFs, strictly the actual MLPs themselves.
For context - these are long-term (40 year) buy and holds that I will be regularly contributing to.
Options include MPLX, WES, or PAA. Other choices on my radar would be CQP or SUN.
Would appreciate a steer in the right direction on which offers the best long-term complimentary fit alongside ET and EPD, whether that be growth or stability oriented. Would also welcome if there is an obvious "go with this one and don't overthink it" choice.
Thanks in advance.
