Sideways to higher at lunchtime with the MLP index up 20 cents. I think the strong overall market is keeping this group flat rather than down. Duke Midstream (DPM) leads the losers list down half a buck but it was a big gainer last week. Crosstex LP is down 44 cents though Morningstar mentions it in an arcticle today. Holly Partners is flat today even though they did increase their distribution by one cent! Plains All American (PAA) is down 50 cents as they do a priviate placement of securities...a billion dollars worth.

Atlas Pipeline Partners (APL) is up 50 cents as it nears all time highs. LIN Energy (LINE), Sunoco Logistics (SXL) and Markwest Energy (MWE) are all up 50 cents apiece.
