Tonight, skip that billionth Seinfeld rerun. Instead, watch How I Learned To Stop Trading And Love The Farm by [Stephen Diggle](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vqqHVUYXmc&feature=youtu.be). Better yet, watch it now!

Why be careful with high yielders, you ask? OXF [reduced](http://finance.yahoo.com/news/oxford-partners-lp-announces-third-110000356.html) its distribution and the small coal MLP is [down 28%](http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=oxf&ql=1) this morning. The new yield is still 10%.
