2 High-Yield Energy Stocks to Buy Now and Hold Forever
2026-04-13 16:04:59 ET
The recent spike in oil and gas prices is driving many investors back toward energy stocks. However, many energy stocks are tightly tethered to volatile commodity prices -- and hopping aboard that bandwagon at the wrong time can lead to years of unrealized losses.
If you want to avoid that volatility, it's smarter to stick with the midstream companies that merely transport oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids, and other refined products through their pipelines. By charging upstream exploration companies and downstream refineries "tolls" to use their pipes, midstream pipeline operators can generate stable profits without fretting over gas and oil prices. They also generate plenty of cash to fund their high distributions and dividends.
