VLO is located in the USA and sells to USA and Canada, both politically stable countries. A very, very good refining company. Refining capabilites will be pushed to their limits over the next few years until new refinieries can be built and brought online. VLO is positioned to reap the rewards of being a major refining company.

Yes, as the #1 refinery in the U.S., Valero is postured to continue to benefit from the need, high need, of niche refining capability. Valero's recent decision to up the dividend considerably over the past in addition to their buy back of shares several months back is a tell that VLO is inticing shareholders to jump back on board, since VLO has been caught up in the energy sector retraction. I loaded up on VLO when it dipped into the $48 range, and, once again, this "extreme performance stock" is starting to show its moxy; albeit slowy, as it has climbed back through $55. I suspect it will reach the mid to upper 60's by late summer if not earlier. This "extreme performance stock" will leave those investors smiling that jump on board, as if you look at its past performance since the early 80's, you will see a sustained and impressive track record with no indication of deviation from that deep path upward.
