I've been accumulating NRP shares. I'm IN. I figure the dividend will be $1-2.50/yr for the next 20-25 yrs, which beats rates on CDs. When foreign countries get tired of holding US$, they'll want our coal. I can handle the price swings and am not a timer. NRP owns or through its affiliates about 8% of US coal reserves. Zacks recently commented that MLPs were a negative...which means its time for me to get interested.
