It's awfully hard to argue with any decision that Enterprise Products Partners (EPD -0.41%) has made. Over the past 10 years, the energy midstream company has outperformed the S&P 500 by more than fivefold on a total return basis.

Tune into the video below to find out why Enterprise may have a leg up on ONEOK and Energy Transfer Partners this time, as well as the challenges Enterprise will face in this endeavor.
