Over on CAPS, fully 164 of the 167 All-Star members who have rated Enterprise Products -- some 98% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include investu and onlygreenthumbs, both of whom are ranked in the top 15% of our community.

In June, investu noted that Enterprise Products "is the North American 'super highway' of oil and gas. In addition, EPD is an 80% owner of the whale rig in the Gulf of Mexico that supplies over 12% of the natural gas to the U.S."

A more recent pitch from onlygreenthumbs late last month agrees, highlighting the stock's income-producing qualities:

The stock currently generates operating cashflow which is equivalent of 18% of the market cap of the company. This is one of the highest percentages of operational cashflow that I have found in October. The dividend yield on the stock is 8.2% which is also outstanding. Given the rising earnings estimates I cannot foresee a dividend cut regardless of the price of oil. ...

The company's balance sheet is good, but is heavily leveraged. It has 7.8 billion in long term debt and a 1.24 debt to equity ratio. I am personally comfortable with this leverage because of the extraordinary cash flow that is being delivered through operations.
