2 insider buys this morning by the Cohens on Atlas Pipeline Partners(APL). One was for 10,ooo shares....the other for 1000 shares. Since this morning's buys they are in the hole for 11,000 bucks. Isn't it lovely????

Markwest (MWE) is got an 88 cent gain out its earnings. But wait the day ain't over yet. E V Partners (EVEP) is losing 88 cents on its earnings and recommended distribution boost to 3 dollars annual and a 12% yield. More glory and praise!

MLP index is up fractionally but its up more than everything else in MLP land. DCP Midstream is down another 1 and change as it continues to react on the Merrill downgrade from yesterday. Constellation (CEP) is down 50 cents as it is still reeling from its 3 downgrades. Hiland (HLND) down 1.28 with no news there. Inergy (NRGY) is buying US Salt which is probably to be sold to MLP users who need something to rub into their open wounds. The stock is up 49 cents.
