After a soft open prices have turned higher on MLPS...up near 270 on the index. Crosstex (XTXI) was down 4 points on earnings this morning is now up on the day! Markwest Energy (MWE) and Markwest Hydrocarbon (MWP) just continue to roll along..up major fractions to a point on the day. Teppco (TPP) was down 1 on the Goldman Downgrade, while TC Pipelines (TCLP) is up a few pennies on its Goldman upgrade!

My horse is running in the first race at the Meadowlands tonight...the 2 horse Hallie's Charm for those of you willing to wager! No Guarantees here since it will be here first time in the goo! (heavy rains making a sloppy track!)
