Tape overall seems to be stalling in here around mid day. Nothing tragic mind you but energy is weakening a little bit. It could be just intra day noise but there has to be a pullback at some point. The mlp index is up 1.70 and just off the high at 319. Alliance Resource Partners and Alliance Holdings continue to lead the way up. ARLP is up 2 and off its highs of earlier when it was up well over 4. Kinder Morgan Parntes (KMP) is up 65 cents which is padding the index gain.

Lets keep an eye on the tape this afternoon for signs of profit taking.
