GOOD MORNING!

Enjoying my morning coffee after my gym workout and walked the dog twice!! Now to the morning news

First off...(yeah!!!) ATLAS PIPELINE (APL) wachovia starts with an out perform..should put a nice bid underneath it.

Also i did not get a chance to comment yesterday on ONEOK' s news...here is the link http://yahoo.reuters.com/financeQuoteCompanyNewsArticle.jhtml?duid=mtfh99418_2005-07-19_21-51-11_n19374898_newsml and its implications for Northern Borders. Stock firmed into the close so we'll see if it is viewed positively for them. I happen to be of the opinion that there will be no distribution increase this quarter.

Kinder Morgan Earnings due after the close today with conference call to follow at 4:30pm Links posted on the link section.

Unocal backs Chevron bid....check news here http://apnews.myway.com/article/20050720/D8BF35IO0.html and here http://biz.yahoo.com/rb/050720/energy_unocal.html?.v=5
In my never to be humble opinion i think this is a good thing. I know the shareholder argument about getting the best price but its not a level playing field. When we can go into china and buy up companies then come back and talk to me.

Market looks softer at the open...s&p -4.70...oil firmer by 40 cents.
