Good Morning!
We have weak stocks this morning and flat energy ahead of oil stats so we kick things off with leftover news from last night. LIN Energy (LINE) ups its distribution 7.5 %. This kicks off what should be a long list of distribution increases for this quarter. This morning we have Lehman Brothers upping Duke Midstream (DPM) to overweight and raises its price target to 31 from 30 dollars. Lets see if the market raises the stock price on this move. Nothing else happening in the news front this morning.

Yesterday's firm finish was nice to see considering oil sold off nearly 2 dollars and the XOI closed up 18 points. The AMZ MLP Index closed up nearly three quarters of a point. Lets see what the open brings.
