Dorchester Minerals LP

It has been anything but a quiet month in markets but quiet is exactly what the Easy Income Portfolio has achieved once again.
The tariff and trade noise has caused violent moves in the markets, and we have missed almost all of them.
We just wrapped up a pretty interesting stretch for the portfolio. It wasn't a runaway rally, but we had more winners than losers, and some of the higher-yielding names really pulled their weight. Overall, the portfolio did what it's designed to do: deliver steady income while keeping a lid on volatility, even as the market tossed a few curveballs our way.
Here's a breakdown of what happened this past month, what we're holding, and how the whole thing holds up if interest rates start to move in either direction.
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
Winners, Losers, and Everyone in Between
Let's start with the obvious winner: Dorchester Minerals (Ticker: DMLP). This royalty trust keeps pumping out income, and with oil and natural gas prices creeping higher, the market rewarded it. We're not getting our hands dirty in the oil patch—DMLP just collects checks from other people's wells. That's our kind of energy play.
On the credit side, SRLN (floating-rate loans), HYIN (high-yield bonds), BANX (bank credit), and BIZD (business development companies) all had solid months. Interest rates stayed higher for longer, which helped these credit-heavy positions earn their keep. Even PFFA, our preferred stock ETF, held its ground thanks to active management and a tilt toward higher-coupon names.
TYG, which holds pipeline and energy infrastructure companies, saw a little uptick too. It's not flashy, but it does tend to quietly rise when energy demand picks up.
Meanwhile, a few names were flat or down. REM (mortgage REITs) and MTBA (Simplify MBS ETF) were a little soft, mostly due to interest rate jitters. When rates bounce around, mortgage-related funds feel it first. FAX and XBB, our global and Canadian bond funds, didn't do much—but that's fine. They're there to add stability, not fireworks.
FINS and SPE, which invest in financials and special situations, also had a quiet month. But these kinds of holdings are like option tickets. We don't need them to work every month, just when the time is right.
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
What Exactly Are We Holding?
This portfolio isn't just a bunch of random tickers thrown together. Everything has a role. Here&#8217;s a quick rundown of what each fund gives us:
(Ticker: MTBA) – Mortgage-backed securities (very sensitive to rate changes)
(Ticker: FINS) – Banks, insurance companies, and financial services
(Ticker: SRLN) – Floating-rate corporate loans
(Ticker: DMLP) – Oil and gas royalties (no drilling risk)
(Ticker: XBB) – Canadian investment-grade bonds
(Ticker: PFFA) – U.S. preferred stocks
(Ticker: BANX) – Subordinated debt from smaller banks
(Ticker: JRI) – Global infrastructure and real estate
(Ticker: FAX) – Asia-Pacific government and corporate bonds
(Ticker: TYG)– Energy pipelines and infrastructure
(Ticker: CEFS) – A basket of discounted closed-end funds
(Ticker: BIZD) – BDCs, which lend to small and mid-sized companies
(Ticker: HYIN) – High-yield corporate bonds (excluding financials)
(Ticker: SPE) – Special opportunities and deeply discounted assets
(Ticker: REM) – Mortgage REITs (very high income, but high risk)
Bottom line: we've got credit, income, energy, real assets, and a little bit of global exposure all working together.
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
How the Portfolio Holds Together
Now let's talk about how these pieces move in relation to one another. This isn't a portfolio where everything moves in the same direction. In fact, that's the whole point. Some assets—like DMLP and TYG—move with oil prices. Others—like FAX and XBB—move with interest rates. A few—like REM and MTBA—are tied to the mortgage market and how investors feel about housing credit risk.
When we ran the correlation data, we found that a lot of these funds don't really move together. That's exactly what we want. Low correlations mean if one piece gets hit, something else can hold up or even rally. It's like having a group of friends where one's always calm, one's the life of the party, and one always brings snacks. Everyone has a role.
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
What Happens if Rates Move? We Ran the Numbers
We also stress-tested the portfolio to see how it would react to big moves in interest rates.
If interest rates jump by 1%:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Bond funds like XBB, FAX, and REM would take a hit—anywhere from 3% to 5%.</li>
<li>PFFA and BANX would probably dip a little too.</li>
<li>But names like DMLP, TYG, and SRLN would likely go up. These types of investments actually benefit when rates rise because they're linked to commodities or float with the market.</li>
</ul>
If rates drop by 1%:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Bonds bounce back. REM, XBB, and FAX could gain 4% to 5%.</li>
<li>Preferreds like PFFA would catch a tailwind.</li>
<li>Floating-rate loans and energy plays would lag, but we wouldn't expect anything dramatic.</li>
</ul>
The key takeaway? This portfolio has protection on both sides of the rate spectrum. If rates rise, we've got floating-rate credit and oil. If rates fall, we've got bonds and preferreds ready to rally.
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
The Bottom Line
This portfolio is built to grind out income while avoiding big drawdowns. We're not trying to shoot the lights out, and we're not betting the farm on any single theme. What we are doing is collecting income from multiple sources—credit, energy, real estate, and discounted assets—and letting time and discipline do the work.
If the Fed gets it wrong, we've got hedges. If they pull off a soft landing, we've got plenty of yield. And if volatility keeps creeping in, we're holding assets that don't all move the same way.

Dorchester Minerals Q1 Sales $43.16M Up From $30.98M YoY

Having a falling stock market isn't enough.
Apparently, several commodity sectors, most notably crude oil, have decided to get in on the action as well. Oil prices have been dropping sharply over the past week, caught in the whirlwind of turmoil, drama, and just a whole mess of market-rocking stories.
Crude oil is trading on the expectation of a weakening U.S. economy, and that is absolutely a possibility. The markets are growing increasingly anxious about stagflation creeping into the United States.
Will it happen? Maybe, maybe not—but it's on the table.
&nbsp;Inflationary pressures, particularly from tariffs, are adding fuel to the fire.
&nbsp;Just ask the big three car manufacturers: if those Canadian tariffs had stayed in place, car prices in the U.S. would have skyrocketed by 25%, punishing not the folks we imposed the tariff on, but American consumers.
Tariffs tend to restrict global trade, and when you factor in the potential for mass layoffs in government sectors, you start getting a picture of an economy slowing down, even as inflation remains sticky.
That's the textbook definition of stagflation, and it's not exactly great for oil and gas demand.
The United States has been one of the primary drivers of oil and gas demand, despite some, shall we say, moderately to completely misguided policies of the previous administration when it came to energy.
Meanwhile, President Trump keeps touting his &#8220;Drill, baby, drill&#8221; strategy, promising a surge in production.
&nbsp;But here's the thing: he forgot to mention how exactly he's going to convince oil companies to abandon fiscal responsibility and ramp up production, thereby lowering commodity prices and hurting their own bottom line.
&nbsp;It doesn't quite add up.
All this uncertainty? It's hitting oil and gas stocks hard.
&nbsp;Take the VanEck Oil Services ETF, down 17% over the past year and already off another 8% this year.
&nbsp;Clearly, the market thinks nobody's ever going to work in the oil and gas patch again.
Here is &nbsp;where things get interesting. The oil services industry is ripe for consolidation, and we're going to see more of it in the months ahead.
Expect increased activist activity as well. This is something &nbsp;we will keep a close eye on.
The (Ticker: XLE) is basically flat on the year so far, but we're well off December highs of nearly $98, now trading around $86.
So, oil and gas has been in a bit of a mini bear market. It's not a full-blown oil panic just yet, but we can't rule that out either.
Of course, OPEC+ decided they wanted a piece of the action.
&nbsp;Last week, they announced an increase in oil production, the first in several years.
For a while, they had been cutting production to keep prices elevated in the aftermath of COVID and the global slowdown.
But with economic weakness persisting in Europe and China, they decided it was time to open the taps.
Speaking of China, they wrapped up their latest high-profile economic meeting, the so-called Two Sessions, and they're targeting 5% growth this year.
&nbsp;Sounds great, right?
But with their ongoing real estate crisis and internal economic difficulties, hitting that number is no sure bet. The potential for continued weak Chinese oil demand is adding more uncertainty to the global picture.
What happens if a peace agreement is reached in Ukraine? Russian oil and gas restrictions could be lifted, which would bring even more supply onto the market.
Most of that would likely flow to China, further reducing the need for imports from Western and Middle Eastern producers.
That, my friends, is yet another factor weighing on oil prices.
But despite all this bearishness, don't forget that crude oil demand is still on the rise.
We may be in the doldrums now, but long-term, supply and demand dynamics are still positive.
That said, the U.S. is not in &#8220;drill, baby, drill&#8221; mode. Oil production growth slowed significantly last year, marking one of the smallest increases in years.
While natural gas production remains strong, there's been no serious bearish talk about gas prices.
Now, here's where it gets really messy: refining.
The U.S. refining industry is built to process heavy crude. We spent decades importing it, so we set up refineries along the Gulf Coast and in California to handle the heavy, sulfur-rich stuff.
Guess what?
We're now one&nbsp; of the world's top producers of light, sweet crude, and our refining infrastructure just isn't designed for it.
Converting a refinery to handle light crude costs hundreds of millions, potentially billions—of dollars, and getting the permits to build a new one?
&nbsp;Forget it. The only thing harder than getting a new refinery approved is getting a nuclear power plant built.
Between federal, state, and local governments, plus the inevitable backlash from environmental and citizen groups, new refining capacity is a distant dream.
Most of our imported crude comes from three places: Mexico, Venezuela, and Canada. And yet, we're either not trading with them or actively engaged in trade disputes. Venezuela's output just took a hit as the Trump administration gave Chevron a 30-day notice to shut down all Venezuelan crude operations. That's 50,000 barrels a day—gone. And with Venezuela still under heavy restrictions, that oil isn't coming back anytime soon.
So, what does this all mean for crude prices? More near-term weakness, probably.
Longer-term, the fundamentals point to higher prices.
We've still got tension in the Middle East, and Ukraine-Russia negotiations could fall apart in an instant. In fact, just last week, Russia ramped up military activity, attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure with drones and airstrikes.
We're not out of the woods.
Historically, insider purchases in oil and gas firms have been highly predictive of subsequent rebounds. During previous downturns such as the 2008–2009 financial crisis, the 2014–2016 oil crash, and the COVID-19 collapse in early 2020, insiders stepped up their buying, signaling confidence in the long-term fundamentals despite widespread market pessimism.
Empirical evidence backs this up. During the 2014–2016 oil crash, when crude prices plunged from ~$100 to below $30 per barrel, energy executives aggressively bought shares.
Companies like Occidental Petroleum (Ticker: OXY), Diamondback Energy (Ticker: FANG), and Pioneer Natural Resources later posted double-digit annualized returns from 2016–2018.
A similar pattern emerged in 2020, when oil briefly went negative—insiders at companies like Apache (Ticker: APA), Devon Energy (Ticker: DNV), and ExxonMobil (Ticker: XOM) made significant purchases, and their stocks multiplied several-fold over the next 12–18 months.
We are starting to see that kind of insider activity in the oilpatch once again
&nbsp;Over at Permian Resources (Ticker: PR), board member William J. Quinn just bought 750,000 shares or$9.5 million worth. Quinn also picked up 300,000 shares last September.
Permian Resources is the biggest operator in the Delaware Basin and has been on a buying spree. They picked up Earthstone in 2023, financed entirely with equity, and expect to add over $225 million in annual cost savings. They have $2.5 billion in liquidity, and their debt was just upgraded by Moody's, S&amp;P, and Fitch.
The stock is trading under book value and at a single-digit P/E. That's the kind of setup we like.
Meanwhile, Dorchester Minerals (Ticker: DMLP), one of my favorite royalty trusts, is seeing insider buying. CEO Bradley Ehrman just added to his stake, and the Dorchester Minerals Operating Company has been steadily buying shares.
This trust collects royalties on oil and gas production, with no operational costs. The dividend yield should end up around 10% this year.
Northern Oil and Gas (Ticker: NOG) has also seen a shift.
&nbsp;For most of the last year insiders were selling&nbsp; small amounts of stock.
That changed last week. Directors Bahram Akhradi and Stuart Lasher just bought over $1.6 million worth of stock.
The stock is down to $27.88 from last year's high of $44.
With 11,000 wells across top basins, a focus on free cash flow, and a 6.5% dividend yield, this is another one that looks positioned for an eventual rebound.
Oil stocks have taken a beating.
But if you follow the insiders, they're telling you something: prices have fallen too far. And when oil bounces back—and it will—these companies are set up to win.

<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Key in Investment Decisions</h3>
While insider transactions should not be the sole basis for making investment decisions, they can play a significant role in an investor's decision-making process.
When discussing legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
A new purchase by a company insider is a indication that they anticipate the stock will rise.
On the other hand, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Important Transaction Codes</h3>
When dissecting transactions, the focal point for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> is often those occurring in the open market, meticulously detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Top 3 Energy Stocks Which Could Rescue Your Portfolio This Month

I admit it: I am something of a geek.
I spend a lot of time sitting around reading articles, crunching numbers, and engaging in other research-focused activities.
One of my favorite ways to spend an afternoon is with a game in the background (preferably baseball, but there has to be an offseason), reading the latest academic studies and insights.
Recently, I spent some time with a study on insider buying titled &#8220;Are CFOs&#8217; Trades More Informative Than CEOs&#8217; Trades?&#8221;
As it turns out, they are.
Everyone focuses on the CEO. After all, he is the top executive who sees everything: all the plans, all the ideas, all the sales figures, everything.
The CEO is the ship&#8217;s captain who sees all and theoretically knows all.
Why, then, does the CFO outperform?
Keeping our ship analogy, the CEO may be the captain, but the CFO oversees the engine room and the power plant.
He knows what cash is coming in, where it is going, and how the excess is being spent.
The CFO knows how much they owe and to whom they owe it.
The CFO is also present in every meeting and sees every plan and vision laid out by the CEO and other executives.
He also knows how these plans will impact the business&#8217;s financial health.
She is also best positioned to judge how these plans will likely impact the company&#8217;s value.
When the Chief Financial Officer buys, it is because the business is trading for less than the ultimate insider view says it is worth.
Here are three companies with recent significant buying by the Chief Financial Officer:
Dorchester Minerals, L.P. (Ticker: DMLP) is a master limited partnership that acquires, owns, and manages producing and non-producing mineral, royalty, overriding royalty, net profits, and leasehold interests across the United States.
Its diversified portfolio spans 593 counties and parishes in 28 states, providing exposure to various oil and gas assets.
While the company is currently most active in the Permian and Bakken regions, it also has significant acreage in the Utica Shale and Marcellus Shale regions, which hold enormous amounts of natural gas.
Most energy industry insiders think that natural gas will be in huge demand as the energy source for developing AI to its full potential.
As a royalty trust, Dorchester is paid for every drop of oil and gas produced on the acreage they own. At the current price, the yield on the shares is over 10%.
CFO Leslie Moriyama is clearly a big believer in higher energy prices, as she has recently purchased over $500,000 worth of additional stock in the company.
HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. (Ticker: HASI), formerly known as Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc., is a leading investor in climate solutions, focusing on energy efficiency, renewable energy, and other sustainable infrastructure markets across the United States.

Notable investments include a structured equity investment in a 2.0 GW portfolio of contracted wind, solar, and solar-plus-storage projects, and a senior debt investment in a portfolio of operating landfill gas-to-renewable natural gas and wastewater treatment biogas-to-renewable natural gas plants.
CFO Marc Pangburn is not buying the death of renewables story, as he recently purchased a six-figure stake in the company.
Centene Corporation (Ticker: CNC), headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, is a leading managed care company specializing in government-sponsored healthcare programs. Founded in 1984, Centene has become a significant intermediary for government-sponsored and privately insured healthcare plans, offering a comprehensive range of services to individuals and families across the United States. The company&#8217;s portfolio includes Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, and Marketplace insurance plans, serving over 28 million members nationwide.
In the third quarter of 2024, Centene reported total revenues of $42.0 billion, marking a 10% increase from the same period in the previous year. This growth was primarily driven by a 22% increase in Marketplace membership and a 49% rise in Medicare Prescription Drug Plans. The company&#8217;s adjusted diluted earnings per share stood at $1.62, surpassing analysts&#8217; expectations.
Despite a decline in Medicaid membership due to redeterminations, Centene&#8217;s diversified portfolio allowed it to navigate these challenges effectively. The company reaffirmed its full-year adjusted diluted EPS guidance of greater than $6.80, reflecting confidence in its financial outlook.
The stock has sold off this year, finally attracting the interest of CFO Andrew Asher, who recently purchased $1 million worth of the company.

<h3>Why Insider Activity Matters in Finance</h3>
Insider transactions, although significant, should be considered within the larger context of market analysis and trends.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Essential Transaction Codes Unveiled</h3>
Digging into the details of stock transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> frequently turn their attention to those taking place in the open market, as outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Key in Investment Decisions</h3>

A new purchase by a company insider is a indication that they anticipate the stock will rise.
On the other hand, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.

<ol>
<li>Dorchester Minerals (Ticker: DMLP) </li>
<li>iShares Mortgage Real Estate ETF (Ticker: REM) </li>
<li>SPDR Blackstone Senior Loan ETF (Ticker: SRLN)</li>
</ol>
Dorchester Minerals is an oil and gas royalty trust that owns properties in 28 states. It collects payment for every drop of oil and natural gas pumped out of its land by major oil companies. Even with the current low price of oil and natural gas, Dorchester Minerals is yielding almost 10%, and that will go up as energy prices increase.
REM is tracking sideways this year as the portfolio is a balance of residential and commercial real estate loan portfolios. The combined yield of the lenders held by the ETF will deliver a consistent stream of cash into your account. Continued rate cuts by the Federal Reserve will lift the net asset value of the lenders held by the ETF as well.
The Blackstone Senior Loan Fund owns a portfolio of loans to middle-market companies and is overseen by one of the best alternative asset managers in the history of financial markets. Most of the loans in the portfolio have floating interest rates, so if we should see any upward pressure on rates from economic news or geopolitics, this fund will act as a hedge. If we do not see any moves up, it is just a source of cash as the fund yields about 9%.
The recent economic news shows that the economy is growing while inflation moderates. For most, that is good news for almost all our holdings, but that is subject to change based on a wide range of possible events.
No matter what happens, the Easy Income Portfolio will keep producing large streams of cash, and the diversification of the assets we hold should help offset market volatility.

<h3>Understanding the Significance of Insider Transactions</h3>
While insider transactions should not be the sole basis for making investment decisions, they can play a significant role in an investor's decision-making process.
Considering the legal perspective, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, according to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Pointing towards optimism, a company insider's new purchase signals their positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
Nevertheless, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.
<h3>A Closer Look at Important Transaction Codes</h3>
For <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a>, a primary focus lies on transactions occurring in the open market, as indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
