When a stock gets downgraded and it doesn't go down its a good sign. Linn down just 9 cents after the Merril move. EV Partners down fractionally and off its low as well.

MLPS down on the index by 2 and some change at just under 291. Energy stocks as a whole selling off today so it may be taking everything else with it. Winners list is thin. Most mlps down fractions to 1 point. Boardwalk (BWP) the biggest loser down 1 on the stock offering.

Another hot day in the city..90s one more time in NYC-land.
