MLPS are firm while the overall market is lower. The MLP index is up 1 point and has gotten back a little less than half of yesterday's loss. LIN Energy(LINE), Oneok LP(OKS) and Crosstex LP (XTEX)are among the biggest gainers..each up 50 cents or more. Not many losers, Copano Energy and Buckeye Partners among those but losses are 20 cents or less.

Unless the whole market falls apart i'm looking for a firm tone in these to continue.
