Just figured how to post from my smartphone with the google blogger app. Yippee! Stock futures are a little lower in overnight trading as asia plays catchup. Mlps were basically flat and remain just below 370 resistance.

RALLY TIME!
Futures have been strengthening all night and markets seem to be lining up to rally from here and certainly we have headroom. For MLPS we need to line up the markets and some support from the energy side of the equation. The Dow Jones Oil and Gas index lines up pretty well with the dow chart and both have put in a base in here.
Of course the MLP chart doesn't the relative smoothness of the other 2 charts but we will continue to move along with everything else. One encouraging sign might be the action in financials which seem to have shown a little leadership in the last several days. Certainly they led the way higher Friday and this is somehting we should watch.
Going foward in the longer term Joe Battapaglia was on CNBC this morning and said you will want to own companies who have enough cash to carry them through for the next 3 years and do not have to roll over debt or access new debt. Not exactly the kind of enviornment MLPS can do well in!
This morning we have no news on the corporate side and no upgrades or downgrades so far. As we mentioned earlier stock futures are strong this morning. Dow futures up 200 points. Crude is up while nat gas is down this morning. Some key levels to look for. MLP index can rally at least to 190 before hitting some resistence. 220 is important. On the dow chart we need to get above
8772 which we will do at the open this morning. Ultimately 9500 is the top of the base which is the first bounce high back in October. That will be formidable but that is also many points from here. Market repair is essential for mlps to gain any type of traction. Big money might be made if you can figure out which of the beaten down mlps will be able to survive all this. And will those with now single digit handles be cutting distributions or has all that been priced in?
