Other recent news driving MLPs of late was seen as follows:

• Three quality MLPs from Merrill Lynch with 6% distributions
• Three MLPs cut distributions and prices gained for holders
• Four MLPs still raising distributions
• Insiders bought four MLPs handily in March

As a reminder, true yields in MLPs vary from the distribution yield-equivalents often cited. If they are distributions, there is generally a taxable income component and a return of capital component that is not considered taxable.
