beefstu,
You do realize that as much as you would like for NRGY to go bankrupt, that it isn't going to happen.
Inergy made a series of mistakes, buying Tres Palacios at the top of the market, buying back the GP at a hefty premium and then the propane biz got hit hard by margins, conservation and warm weather.
Despite all of that, they are still financially sound, especially if they cut the distribution back to the point that they are above a 1.0x coverage ratio.
That cut, as painful as it will be, will be the turning point for Inergy.
Already they have announced what amounts to a $300 million dollar investment at NRGM, which will drive $15-$20 million a year in cash over to NRGY due to IDRs and common LP units that they hold.
A few more big Marcellus projects at NRGM, the drop down of Tres Palacios and the west coast NGL biz, and NRGY will have significantly strengthened its balance sheet.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing you disappointed that Inergy hasn't and isn't going bankrupt.
There is no arguing that they screwed up royally, but they are turning the ship around, and bankruptcy is not even in the picture.
