Market closes lower with MLPS mixed across the board. CPNO continues to surge over 40 as it increases distribution and optimism for more to come with Scissortail acquisition. MMP on its upgrade. Not much other news moving issues. VLI erodes more thanks to SMITH BARNEY downgrade of VLO...seems silly but these things happen.

XOI recovered a bit today from days lows.

Spent the afternoon at NYSDMV...a religious experience to register a car!

I'm off to the gym to work off tension.
