2rDown to 266 on the index. The breakout move from 2 years ago has now been completely wiped out! I suppose it had to happen that they would finally get around to selling off the big boys as Kinder Morgan (KMP) Enterprise (EPD) and a few others are down 1 to 2 points. The smaller ones continue their decent.
Perhaps when they get to zero with an infinite yield...someone might find them attractive.

For what it's worth....
I sold out of MLPs several days ago. I am watching closely for a reentry point, but I don't think we're there yet...
Excerpt from NY Times.
...biggest speculators in the commidities mkt are some of the same hedge funds, banks & brokers caught in the housing and credit mkts. As in those mkts, an evaporation of credit could force some of them - especially hedges speculation with lots of borrowed money-to sell off their holdings...
