In the early going the MLP index is up over 7 points and every mlp and gp is up this morning except for Buckeye Holdings (BGH) which is down 52 cents. That 17.50 offer sounds a whole lot better now doesn't it, and Inergy Holdings (NRGP) which is unchanged but its bid over a dollar higher. Dow up 265 and the buying looks pretty solid this morning.

Nustar (NS) Oneok (OKS) Martin Midstream (MMLP) and Kinder Morgan (KMP) are up 2 points or more and are the leaders so far this morning.
