I hope you do not actually own ARCP.
The managements of KMI and ARCP could not be more different. Rich Kinder is a true KMI shareholder's friend. 'Slick' Nick Schorsch is the polar opposite.

Welcome to the forum mhqueen!
This is how I feel as well. I enjoy following this stuff so much that I spend more time than needed on it. Not a problem so long as you are not tempted to over-trade your portfolio.
I also enjoy investing, and I spend a lot of time doing it, probably more than most if not all participants in this forum. I am retired, I have the time, I have the interest, and I need the income. Fortunately, my brain has not yet aged to the point where I need to give it up.
