Shocker for Markwest (MWE) holders....no distribution cut and a joint venture to improve liquidity. The stock is up over 2 dollars on the news.

MLPS heading higher into the close with a 2 point plus gain in the face of a 3 dollar oil decline. The dow is up 70 points with 20 minutes to go. Inergy Holdings (NRGP) Penn Virginia Resources (PVR) Sunoco Logisitcs (SXL) up 1 point or more each. Kinder Morgan (KMP) is a drag today down 50 cents and is the biggest loser among a small group of losers.
