Just after lunchtime...MLPS are strong again today. The index is now over 261 up a little over 1 on the day. And while there are no standout winners just about the whole group is up fractionally. On the downside. US Shipping down 69 cents on the sell rec by citigroup. And Global Partners is down 20 cents...no news there.

Nat gas is soaring today up 58 cents a t 6.25. Oil is up as well. Lets see if market strength pushes MLPS even higher this afternoon.
