Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Rich Smith]

  Only five privately held firms will participate in this two-year contract (extendable up to five years). No publicly traded firms at all were chosen to participate -- but publicly traded firms did still win a few of the day's smaller contracts, among them:

  A $76.1 million contract modification awarded to the Bell-Boeing Joint Project Office, a joint venture between Textron (NYSE: TXT  ) and Boeing (NYSE: BA  ) , which instructs the JPO to delivery one single additional CV-22 tiltrotor aircraft to the U.S. Air Force by December 2016. A $39.4 million fixed-price with economic-price-adjustment contract for Sysco (NYSE: SYY  ) to provide "prime vendor food and beverage support" to the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Job Corps in Florida through April 16, 2019. A $32.3 million option exercise for NuStar Energy L.P. (NYSE: NS  ) subsidiary Shore Terminals LLC to provide "petroleum storage services" to the U.S. Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps through Nov. 30, 2016. A $7.7 million undefinitized contract modification compensating Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT  ) for "non-recurring sustainment activities" performed on behalf of the government of the United Kingdom, related to the latter's purchase of F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jets. This contract has a completion date of June 201

  But it is important to note that ETE also has interests in Sunoco Logistics Partners (NYSE: SXL) and Regency Energy Partners (NYSE: RGP).

  Finally, consider NuStar Energy (NYSE: NS) and its general partner NuStar GP Holdings (NYSE: NSH). Like ETE, NSH went public in 2006 and has also significantly outperformed its limited partner since:
  
  
  

  The vast majority of partnerships don’t have a publicly-traded GP. But in each of these three cases in which the GP is publicly traded, the GP tends to outperf! orm the L! P units on long-term gains, an advantage somewhat offset by the typically higher LP yield.

  One energy player that insiders are loading up on here is NuStar Energy L.P. (NS), which is engaged in the terminalling, storage, and marketing of petroleum products, and transportation of petroleum products and anhydrous ammonia primarily in the U.S. and the Netherlands. Insiders are buying this stock into decent strength, since shares are up 20% so far in 2014.

  NuStar Energy L.P. has a market cap of $4.7 billion and an enterprise value of $7.4 billion. This stock trades at a fair valuation, with a forward price-to-earnings of 23.68. Its estimated growth rate for this year is 126.6%, and for next year it's pegged at 19.7%. This is not a cash-rich company, since the total cash position on its balance sheet is $49.08 million and its total debt is $2.73 billion. This stock currently sports a dividend yield of 7.2%.

  A director just bought 100,000 shares, or about $6.2 million worth of stock, at $61.71 to $62.52 per share.

  From a technical perspective, NS is currently trending above its 200-day moving average and just below its 50-day moving average, which is neutral trendwise. This stock has just started to bounce modestly higher right above its 200-day moving average of $57.34 a share. That bounce is starting to push shares of NS within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade above some key overhead resistance levels.

  If you're bullish on NS, then I would look for long-biased trades as long as this stock is trending above some key near-term support levels at $58.46 or above its 200-day at $57.34 and then once it breaks out above its 50-day moving average of $62.93 a share to some more near-term overhead resistance levels at $64.73 to $65.75 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that registers near or above its three-month average action of 461,414 shares. If that breakout hits soon, t! hen NS wi! ll set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels $6
