Up 75 ticks which gets back yesterday's loss but we are 1 point off the days highs. Crude oil was down 2 dollars early today..rallied up 2 and change and is now selling back to break even. Natural Gas is up nearly 50 cents however on the Hurricane Gustav threat. Certainly this hurricane will have some impact somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico so expect the markets to be volitile as weather news crosses and forecasts change and adjust.

Atlas Resource (ATN) and E V Partners (EVEP) lead the way up 1 and some change. Fractional gains in Buckeye (BPL)which is back over 42 and Williams (WPZ) which is trading over 29 bucks. Pretty long list of fractional gainers as well.

Losers are contained. Alliance Resource (ARLP) is down 70 cents as the biggest loser. Inergy Holdings (NRGP) is down 40 cents but not much volume there. Otherwise most losers today only off small fractions.
