Up 1.55 to 283.80 on the close for the MLP index! A very good day and most MLPS finished at or near their highs of the day.

After the close Kinder Morgan Partners came out with earnings which beat estimates by 4 cents... and a distribution increase. Also after the close the CFO of Energy Transfer (ETP) resigns after 17 years with the company. He'll stay on until they find a new CFO.

I'll be on newswatch in case other headlines come out.
