Top 10 Long Term Stocks To Buy Right Now

Investors in Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN  ) are probably pretty pleased with the pipeline partnership deal it just inked with Crosstex Energy, but investors need to know what Devon must do to remain successful past this one-off agreement. For the natural gas and oil producer to stay on top of the U.S. shale drilling game, it will need to shift its focus away from the Barnett shale to the Permian Basin.�

Both Devon and Pioneer Natural Resources (NYSE: PXD  ) have been pulling out of the Barnett recently for good reason -- the economics for wells just aren't there based on today's gas prices. So Devon and Pioneer have set their sights on the Permian instead. Devon already has a major presence in the Permian, so ramping up activity there should be easier than at many of its other holdings across the country. In the video below, Fool contributor Tyler Crowe discusses the other reasons why Devon will need the Permian going forward.�

  Some of the criteria for inclusion into this index are that units must have a market capitalization of at least $500 million and trade on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq. Component partnerships will have also maintained or grown distributions quarter-over-quarter for at least one of the trailing two quarters, and they must have a policy intended to consistently maintain or increase distributions over time (i.e., no variable-distribution MLPs).

  Because this is an equal-weighted, periodically rebalanced index, top holdings show the MLPs that have outperformed the overall index, while the biggest losers will be found at the bottom of the portfolio. Presently, Crosstex Energy (Nasdaq: XTEX) comprises 6.4 percent of the overall index, reflecting its nearly 30 percent gain in October. Regency Energy Partners (NYSE: RGP) has been the laggard of the group (albeit just barely), falling to 4.84 percent of the overall index makeup.

  To say that Star Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ:STSI) has become one of the market's most contentious stocks lately would be an understatement. Less than two days after shares finally broke above a key line in the sand at $2.11, a fairly scathing piece was posted that (and probably solely intended to do so) knocked STSI back under that key level, deflating any of the newly-developed bullishness surrounding the nutritional supplement company.

  A week and a half ago I posted a bullish - though condition - commentary on Star Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ:STSI). Truth be told, I expected that potential bullishness to be unleashed a few days later. When it didn't unfurl, frankly, I started to forget about STSI. Fortunately I didn't completely put the stock on the shelf, because it finally formed that technical catalyst yesterday, and followed-through today.
  
  For those who caught my first look at STSI, you may recall that the big catalyst was the horizontal ceiling at $2.11. That was where the stock peaked in mid-July, and that's also where it was peaking on the same day I penned my prior bullish comments. Sure enough, Star Scientific shares peeled back from there later in the same day. The stock tested $2.11 again on the 9th, and once again peeled back. By the time we got that third test/failure cycle logged, however, it was clear something was changing... for the better.

Star Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ:STSI), which just blasted past a key resistance line around $2.11 today. In so doing, it became free to rally without restraint.
