The gasbags are still at it at lunchtime although the reception today is a little nicer than yesterday at the senate. The Ohio rep...i missed her name but everytime there is a hearing she brings up putting on an additional tax on those earning 1 million a year or more. No matter what the hearing is about she brings up the millionaires tax. Amazing that the financial world is waiting for these dunces to act.

Okay in the meantime the markets have been going nowhere fast trading in an extremely tight range. MLPS are a little higher. Inergy GP and Inergy LP are up fractionally on the 2009 earnings guidance. Most mlp are showing fractional gains..nothing noteworthy really.

On the downside also fractional losses on uninspired volume. I guess we need to wait for these guys to get done. The general felling i get is that something will pass at worst over the weekend.
