MLPS are up nicely, nearly 3 points on the index. The overall tape looks a bit subdued and energy stocks as a while are flat right now. The tape feels like it might do a fade later today but we will let that play itself out.

Eagle Rock (EROC) ran over 12 and now is up 1.30+ at 11.65 as of this post. EV Partners (EVEP) is up 1. Atlas Energy LP (AHD) which is the old Atlas Holdings (AHD) is up 1.69 and is the groups biggest winner. Most mlps are showing nice fractional gains. Only a handful of mlps on the unchanged or off a few pennies list.

Crude is up slightly after inventory numbers which was bullish for gasoline. Nat gas is up 1.5% on the day so far.
