Closing in on a 2 point gain on the MLP index. Natural Resource Parnters (NRP) Trans Montaigne (TLP), Brietburn Energy (BBEP) all up nearly a point each. Lots of MLPS showing fractional gains on the board.

Not many losers although Atlas Pipeline (APL) is down 50 cents. No news on this one. Looks like energy is carrying the group higher today as 10 year rates are soaring back to 4.60%
