VLO is not a short-term play. Volitility has been extreme in recent months - you must be able to handle a 20% drop in a month's time. Valero's competitive advantage is huge: it is the #1 refiner of sour crude in the business, and most crude coming from Saudi Arabia and Mexico is heavy, sulfer-laden oil. VLO also has an unbelievably low P/E ratio - excellent value, especially right now. If you have a long-term horizon, Valero is an excellent bet. Just hang on to your hat, and remember Mr. Market often overreacts to whatever way the wind is blowing.
