Dow down 172 and mlps down 3 and some change. Looks like all of the market gains from yesterday are being un-done. And MLPS which closed flat yesterday are continuing to perform relatively weak as has been pointed out in an earlier post.

Steifel Nicholas downgrade victims Alliance Resource(ARLP) and Alliance Holdings (AHGP) are among the biggest losers today down 1.74 and 1.00 respectively. Nustar (NS) is also a 1 point loser as is Boardwalk (BWP) although Boardwalk was up 1.65 on what turns out to be a 1600 share market on close order that went off a buck higher then the trades at 15:59pm so its just getting that close undone. Its trading in line with where it traded most of yesterday.

Martin Midstream (MMLP) and Inergy Holdings (NRGP) among the few fractional winners today.
