Interest-rate risk is on top-of-mind for many investors who are interested in income. The long-term Treasury yield surged up to 3%, which were standing well below 2% only a couple months ago. This move in interest rate put many of income-producing stocks under pressure. However, high-dividend stocks such as Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) can be a very attractive choice for an investor.
MLP stocks, in addition to paying a high dividend, offer an attractive tax advantage. The income from MLPs is not taxed at the partnership level. This makes investing in MLPs a smart strategy for investors because it is treated as an average company. In this piece, I chose three of the best MLPs for safe income. These MLPs offer yields of around 4% to 6%, which is more than double the S&P average, and are going to grow at least as fast as inflation.
These three MLPs have a long history of consistently increasing distributions. The MLPs included in this group are Sunoco Logistics Partners (SXL), Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) and Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (KMP). Each of these MLPs was evaluated for their consistently increasing distributions.

The other downside of this investment strategy is that it's not always clear when a decision will happen. Recently, the FDA has been making decisions well ahead of the goal set by the Pharmaceutical Drug User Fee Act, commonly referred to as the PDUFA date. ARIAD Pharmaceuticals� (NASDAQ: ARIA ) , for instance, gained early approval for its leukemia drug Iclusig last year, and shares traded down by double digits after the widely expected announcement.

While the rebound from ARIA is still a little fuzzy, the scales seem to have finally tipped in a slightly-bullish direction.

It has been almost as silly in the other direction, too. Traders knocked billions off the market cap of Stanley Black & Decker (SWK) after the company actually reported a 44% improvement in earnings. And�Teradata (TDC) saw its corporate value trimmed by something like $1.5 billion after the company lowered its forecast.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Rick Munarriz]
Golar LNG (NASDAQ: GLNG ) is also a gusher. The liquefied natural gas transporter is increasing its quarterly rate by 6% to $0.45 a share.
- [By Value Investor]
In terms of valuation the company is trading at an attractive price and investors can consider this as a good investment point. GasLog Partners has the lowest EV/EBITDA and EV/Revenue compared to peers such as Golar LNG (GLNG) and Teekay LNG Partners (TGP). A low EV/EBITDA and EV/Revenue suggests undervaluation of the company and hence a good value investment.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Michael Lewis]
With the $175 million Iron Man 3 opening weekend just passed, it may be hard to remember that the first quarter of this year was a rough one for the movie business. Weak theater attendance and a lack of big-draw films made it an ugly quarter for studios and theaters alike. Carmike Cinemas (NASDAQ: CKEC ) was no exception. Especially frustrating was that this year's weak quarter follows Carmike's record first quarter from 2012. Long term, though, this is a growing company that is well managed and holds a lucrative niche spot in the competitive, low-margin theater business. Here's what you need to know about Carmike Cinemas.

Thanks to visionaries like Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Reed Hastings, and Larry Page, the way we view, interact, and process data has changed and this includes all of the major industries within technology and entertainment. Today, it's a mobile world, yet the one industry that remains unchanged is very much the movie industry. According to DreamWorks Animation (NASDAQ: DWA ) CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, this could spell trouble, especially for the likes of Carmike Cinemas (NASDAQ: CKEC ) , Regal Entertainment (NYSE: RGC ) , and AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE: AMC ) .
