Since the open its been like watching paint dry in some respects. The overall market staged several attempts to hold Tuesday's low but the dow is down about 100 points and MLPS are lower overall but not buy much.

Both Crosstex LP (XTEX) AND Crosstex (XTXI) are getting slammed as the LP is cut from buy to hold at Wachovia, Raymond James, and Sanders Morris...so with that XTEX is down 2.60 but off the low and XTXI is also down 2 and change. A host of issues showing fractional losses.

There are a few winners today like Holly Partners (HEP) which is up 1 and change and General Marine is also up 1 and change. E V Partners is up 60 cents...and then we have a few winners showing gains of 25 cents or less.

Nervous times here as we head into a weekend. Last hour could be a mess!
