Pretty good day for mlps so far. The index is up nearly 3 points which is nice on a day when broader energy is strong and the overall market weaker. Dorchester Minerals LP (DMLP) is up another 2 dollars as the days big winner after being up 3 Friday. Alliance Resource (ARLP) Inergy Holdings (NRGP) Nustar (NS...the idiots play) Magellan (MMP) are up 1.50 or more. Magellan Holdings (MGG) was part of that group but has pulled back to be a major fractional winner along with EV Partners (EVEP) Kinder Morgan (KMP) Markwest (MWE) Calumet Specialty Products (CLMT) Natural Resource Partners (NRP) Kinder Morgan Partners (KMP) and Energy Transfer Partners (ETP).

Sunoco Logistics (SXL) and Atlas Energy Resource (ATN) are down major fractions. Eagle Rock (EROC) is down 30 cents. A couple of others down samller fractions.

The dollar is very strong and driving down all commodities except for oil of course. Go figure.

Nustar was 47.70 when the famous idiot line was thrown...so far i'm up 2 points. Weeeee!!!!!!
