Most recent release from MWP: biz.yahoo.com One of the reasons this one's been off the radar screen was that BEFORE the big rise in NG prices started in the Spring Markwest Hydrocarbons agreed to a symbol change. Not all services have been terribly prompt (par for the course) in picking this up so awareness of the company is only now beginning to occur. Nice part of the symbol deal was that Markwest got well over a million bucks to give up their old symbol, lol. Anyhow, this is a nice eastern U.S. infrastructure play in NG processing and other NG related services, with some propane business thrown in. If NG really is going to be in short supply this winter, propane could be a wild card winner among those with few alternatives to heat their homes and ESPECIALLY small to mid sized factories (which would be most vulnerable to interruptions in NG service in favor of residential consumers). Markwest began positioning themselves in advance of the only recently dawning public awareness of how important NG is becoming to our energy present and future. They're currently in the midst of an important expansion of their infrastructure to grow the company in response to a strongly "market driven" increase in secular demand for their NG services. IMHO a 2 bagger here is going to be no problemo<g>. Isopatch
