While big energy stocks are selling off, MLPS are holding their own quite nicely today...mixed to higher going into the afternoon. Plains All American, Teekay (TGP), Crosstex (XTXI) Energy Transfer, Hiland and Markwest showing nice fractional gains.

Buckeye Partners is down to the 42 area with other fractional losses in Valero LP, Trans Montaigne and Regency.

Markwest Conference call after the close today...judging from the stock action they may have some nice things to say about the rest of the year.
