Breaking news as we have earnings on Atlas Pipeline Partners which has the Anandarko purchase in the mix. BTW the news reminds me of this point. As per the credit squeeze and the collapse of deals and the financing...one reason why MLPS may need to worry less about this is the fact that much of the recent deals are being financed through the priviate placement of equity. So while it may be harder to sell corporates in the bond market there is still high demand in the priviate world for MLP shares.
