Everybody's attention seems to be focused on dow 14k so we are sitting down a small fraction on the MLP index and really marking time. Holly Partners (HEP) is up 1. Hiland LP (HLND) is up nearly 1 as is Buckeye Holdings (BGH). Strong fractional gains in Crosstex LP (XTEX), Penn Virginia Holdings (PVG), Breitburn (BBEP) and Amerigas (APU).

Sunoco Logistics (SXL), Calumet (CLMT) and Markwest are fractional losers but most of the minus signs today are small fractions.

Natgas continues to struggle around the 6.30 level. Frustrating after being up to 6.50 this morning.
