Gains are being extended nicely this afternoon. The mlp index is up nearly 2 points. Calumet LP and Transmontaigne (TLP) join the list of 1 point plus winners from earlier and Natural Resource Partners (NRP) is up 2.67 on the 2 for 1 split news. Nice fractional gains pretty much across the board. About 10 issues are down and only Crosstex (XTXI), Williams Partners(WPZ) and Duke Midstream (DPM) are worth noting...down 40 to 50 cents each.

We'll see if the last hour brings more strength or profit taking.
