A couple of sidenotes. Hat tip to Keith...Crosstex (XTXI) was downgraded to equal weight from overweight. Stock down 1 and change. Otherwise MLPS are moving higher...the index is up 1.02.Hiland LP (HLND) is todays big winner up 1. Also up 1, Markwest (MWP)...hat tip to Keith again...and Markwest Energy (MWE) over yesterday's deal announcement. Plains All American (PAA), Boardwalk Partners (BWP) and Kinder Morgan Partners (KMP) all up nice fractions.

Crude oil is back over 62 bucks but nat gas is collapsing down to 4.17! Amazing that a year ago Nat gas hit 15 bucks!
