On CAPS, 98% of the 1,035 members who have rated Enterprise believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include All-Stars brow0905 and TMFDeej, both of whom are ranked in the top 10% of our community.

Just last month, brow0905 offered a pair of reasons why Fools should take a closer look at the stock:

1) the dividend gives you a leg up on the S&P 500. 2) The US is the largest source of natural gas on the planet and we are poised to become the Saudi Arabia of the world when it comes to exporting natural gas over the next 20 yrs. [Enterprise] is well positioned, Nat Gas is cheap and will go up in price.

Enterprise's massive size, stable asset base, and long history of healthy distributions continue to fuel our community's fondness for the stock. Thanks in large part to its 2009 acquisition of TEPPCO Partners, Enterprise is easily the country's largest master limited partnership. To be sure, Enterprise's shares have outperformed fellow pipeline MLPs Kinder Morgan, Energy Transfer, and Enbridge in 2010, so that scale advantage might already be reflected in the price. Of course, with the stock continuing to sport a tasty dividend yield, CAPS All-Star TMFDeej thinks Enterprise still represents a high-quality income opportunity:

[Enterprise Products] is one of my all-time favorite stocks and one of the few that I continue to hold despite there being no specific catalyst or hidden value. Enterprise is simply one of the best-run pipeline operators in the country. It continues to grow and pay a solid 6% dividend at a time when even the trashiest "investment grade" corporate bonds don't even yield 6%.

What do you think about Enterprise Products, or any other stock for that matter? If you want to retire rich, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future, and on Motley Fool CAPS, thousands of investors are working every day to find them. CAPS is 100% free, so get started!
