INTEREST RATES EXERTING

PRESSURE THIS MORNING

Late first post of the day,my apologies as i had to run into nyc early this morning and just got back. MLPS opened lower on the index, rallied higher and are now lower again and near the lows of the day as interest rates are exerting some pressure. The 10 year is near 4.98% and the dow is down 100+ points. No news this morning but A G Edwards did upgrade E V Partners to buy from hold.

The Atlas crowd leads the losers list today after yesterday's big gains. ATLS is down 1 and change and APL and AHD are down 80 cents apiece. Calumet (CLMT)and Breitburn(BBEP) are both lower by 70 cents or so. Winners include Duke Midstream (DPM) and Constellation Partners (CEP) and Terra Nitrogen (TNH)which is back near 95 again.
