back from dealing with stuff. APL + 1.17 on wachovia coverage. NBP + a fraction so the news from ONEOK has a positive spin. Overall the energy complex is weak with the rest of the stock market. VLI may have made a tradeable bottom yesterday. Up a small fraction so far. Otherwise its fractional pluses and minuses. XOI is down 11 points so far and XNG is down 3+.
