some opening observations...

BPL's earnings were good enough for an additional 35 cents at the open. Lets see where it goes from here.

MMP selling off on ex-dis... So far the ex-dis mlps have not dropped much. ( i wish they would correct harder).

XTXI just continues to roll higher...now approaching 60 bucks. Could have been had for 45 just a few weeks ago.

ATLS up 1 and change...parent of APL; no news to report.

Ten year is at 4.31%....might be worth keeping an eye on. I really wish there would be a correction in this group ( i know i may be speaking heresey and there is the old caveat of be careful what you wish for)....but we need an opportunity to shake out a few folks and pick up some bargains.
