Enterprise: A Yield in the Tempest

The question is posed – how much must a man invest to receive a thousand dollars annually? A seemingly simple calculation, yet one that reveals much about the character of the market, and the shifting fortunes of those who participate within it. For the uninitiated, Enterprise, a master limited partnership, currently offers a distribution exceeding that of the broader market – a circumstance not born of brilliance, but of a deliberate, almost austere, approach to capital allocation. It is a company that has, for twenty-seven years, steadily increased its payout – a testament not to ambition, but to a pragmatic understanding of its own capabilities.
