Here comes the last hour. We are @ 260 on the mlp index and at the lows of the day. Coal and resource mlps are showing losses of 1 point or more and are the biggest losers in the group. Just a few mlps showing plus signs like Nustar (NS) Oneok (OKS) and Amerigas (APU) which are up fractions.

Its all pretty hopeless. The point and figure chart has a downside target of 252. Yeah the bottom of the base is still intact but we're not that far from there.

On the brightside...it ain't Fannie Mae!

  2. The MLPs are just giving it up here. Nobody wants them. I guess when everything is yielding 15% maybe that will attract a few eyeballs. Its just discouraging owning these things. Fundamentally they make sense, technically we are in a wasteland.

  3. Thankfully the Dow is +200, if we were -200 the MLPs would've been in real trouble.

  4. Analysts oftentimes say a bottom is in when there is "capitulation".
    When our own Joe Waxman becomes discouraged, and can say nothing good about MLP's, I say there has been capitulation.If so, its up and away for MLP's.

    At least no MLP' s have lost their star quarterback for the year.
