LOTS AND LOTS (AND LOTS) OF EARNIGNS NEWS!

Okay this morning its a ton of news to chew through which leads me to 2 things. One is you might have noticed yesterday that where possible and timely i will link to the company web site. It makes more sense and its something i should have been doing all along. Also within the next week i am going to sit down and create a sidebar with nothing but links to the companies themselves. This way you have everything on one page. Some times it takes a bout of food poisoning of your entire house (including the dog) to wake you up to these things. Stay tuned!

Okay lets start with Alliance Resource Partners which puts up earnings and a distribution increase. The company says it sees the rest of 2009 at the low end of estimates which can't be a surprise to anyone. Also we have Alliance Resource Holdings (AHGP) which raises the payout. BTW Alliance has a positive view of 2010.

Now for the Dan Duncan show, Duncan Partners (DEP) reports earnings and all the numbers are headed in the right direction. Lower net is what we see at Enterprise Product Partners (EPD) as it has now swallowed up Teppco. K-Sea Transportation puts up earnings numbers this morning with a conference call to follow.

Now some leftover headlines from last night DCP Midstream announces its distirbution. The company web site investor page has not been updated in months. Williams Partners announces its distribution. In some non earnings news Plains All American (PAA) announces a hedge update. Martin Midstream announces a 75 cent payout and Regency Partners (RGNC) announces its distribution.

The mlp index will show the correct daily change after finishing a little higher yesterday. We had a bit of a mess with Teppco coming out of the index yesterday but in the end it was a fractional gain for the day. Markets seeing the dollar a little higher this morning which puts stock futures a little lower. Energy is a little lower with nat gas poking its head above the flat line.

Okay i have begun the process of putting company links on the sidebar. Scroll down to where it says MLP BLOGS AND MORE. As these companies issue news i will add the link to the sidebar. It will make life easier.

Finally this morning some opinions to share this morning. I think this post by Althouse on her blog really says it all about what Global Warming and climate change really are. Praise to those who blaspheme against this religion!
