LPG Update -- EPD, VG -- July 24, 2025

Locator: 48823LNG.

Reminder: this is not an investment site. I probably need to add EPD to my disclaimer as a company in which I am inappropriately interested. I haven't added to my position in years. In the old days I had automatic dividend reinvestment; probably should have kept it for EPD. My bad.

I write a lot about tech now -- on a Bakken site. LOL.

But AI is an energy story.

A natural gas story. Now. Later, a nuclear story.

And energy is still the centerpiece of the blog, although some days I wonder.

All that to note this, link here. I assume the only reason to be buying EPD is for the dividend. And perhaps buying on the dip if one is still interested in adding to one's energy position. 

  • Having said that, shares up 75% over five years; the buying point keeps rising, slowly, but surely:
    • 2022: $22
    • 2023: $26
    • now: $29
  • the biggest problem, taxes on dividends. LOL.
