DISTRIBUTION INCREASES ARE ROLLING IN

HILAND GETTING A NEW LEADER SOON

AND MLPS JUST KEEP ON GOING!

We'll probably trade off some news after the close yesterday as Oneok LP (OKS) ups its distribution again. The old Northern Borders Partners was stuck at an 80 cent distribution it seemed like forever and the stock had traded around or under 40 dollars forever...and we're now near 70 as the distribution has gone from 3.20 annual to near 4 bucks now. Not bad. Plains All American (PAA)raised its distribution yesterday afternoon.







The AMZ MLP index opens today just under 326...new all time highs (AGAIN)


No sign of a top...we're up 8 of the last 9 days...long in the tooth short term but i'm not good enough to predict when a correction will come.

Hiland LP and GP (HLND,HPGP) announced that its long time leader would be stepping down in the next few months and he has done just that with an interim president and ceo in place until the permanent one is named...which is expected soon. No other news this morning and no upgrades or downgrades.
