Just a thought: Mr. Morgan purchased 6 mil in KMI recently.  Owning over 8 bil of KMI and so little of KMP/KMR his bias is clear.  So why isn't he purchasing the warrants?  Could it be he doesn't see 42 by 2017 but does see higher than the current valuation?

The warrant price is OTM that means it consists mainly of time and volatility premium. Since volatility goes down and its delta is relative small its price goes down. The smaller the distance to the execution price gets, the warrants delta gets greater and it behaves more like the underlying.

New writeup on VIC: http://www.valueinvestorsclub.com/value2/Idea/ViewIdea/114749

 

Can someone here who's a member summarize what the thesis is?

 

 

You need an account to be able to view that article.

 

Yes, I have a guest account so I will be able to see it in about a month and a half but members can already see it.

Does anyone know what's up with the price weakness since January?  I have been looking into this one recently..

I am thinking of buying leaps.

To be honest I dont see great deep value here. Similar to PWE this is a giant liquid name on the radar of a lot of people.

Its going to trade up to $40 within the next 2 years at some point. Leaps cost nothing because of the yield. If it gets to $40 for even a day and you sell you make 2x-3x your money.

 

The warrants require $45 in the next 3.5 years. I prefer the leap bet, what do you guys think?

This is exactly why I bought the 2016 $30 Calls, first at $5 and second at $3.8.  My experience is that the large cap names tend to be less mis-priced and they swing back to a fair value rather quickly.  Thus, LEAP is a good tool to leverage the reversal of this minor mis-pricing.  In my mind, $40 by LEAP expiry is not a stretch goal as it implies only a 2016 yield of 5% assuming 8% annual dividend growth forecasted by the company.  The company has a long history of over-delivering its promise -- there's a slide in its presentations showing forecasted < actual KMP dividends.

I like what I see so far, quick question for everyone. Why is EPB a seperate vehicle. Seems like it just complicates things. It would make sense if all pipelines were held by one MLP and all other assets the other, but EPB seems like a smaller weaker version of KMR. Why was it split out?

Morningstar has had some commentary lately on KMI and the rest saying KMR is the safest bet. plus Morningstar DividendInvestor decided to sell both Kinder Morgan Energy Partners and Kinder Morgan, Inc

 

Perhaps they know more than we or Mr. Kinder. (I doubt it)

KMI is where Kinder has his money, so this should be the safest bet.

 

A very good writeup by a forum member (Thx by the way for the work!) : http://glennchan.wordpress.com/2014/01/30/kinder-morgan-inc-kmi-you-sell-ill-buy/

 

I see the fair value of KMI at 15xFCF (it traded there already one year ago). Currently its at 8.1xFCF. I calculate my forward rate of return with PE/FCF revaluation over 5 years+dividend+dividend growth or PE/FCF revaluation+FCF yield+FCF growth. That comes out at roughly 17%+5%+8% = 30% pa.

 

Technically it has bounced thursday at a huge support around 30-31$ and finished an ABC-Elliottwave pattern. On friday it approved the pattern and broke the last downtrend. Fundamentals+technicals+Insider buying was my reasoning to take a greater position than normal.

I finally broke down and sold some SD to buy some KMI. This pretty much guarantees that SD should soar and KMI drop even further.

Your welcome  ;D

 

cheers
