While the mlp index is up fractionally at lunch time there are some standout movers today. EV Partners (EVEP) is up another 3 points to 75 dollars and a new all time highs. There is a Barrons story on line which appears accessible even to non members. Citigroup put out a note on mlps favoring Breitburn (BBEP) Legacy Partners (LGCY) and Vanguard Natural Resources (VNR). Calumet Specialty Products (CLMT) is down 1.50 on a stock offering. Alliance Natural Resources (ARLP) is down but no news to speak of there. Otherwise moves are small and fractional in nature around the group.

Bernake to speak at 1:30pm and the President tonight will speak on jobs. I can't imagine they will say anything that will make markets happy but i have been wrong before.
