Whatever else might happen during the oil crisis, our government will completely fail to find a way to make it easier for more refineries to get sited. There isn't a single refinery in Florida. Does that seem like a good or a bad thing?

Well, for co...

VLO is the largest independent U.S. refiner of oil, and it has a unique capacity to process sour crude, which represents a great proportion of the new supply of oil (e.g., from Saudi Arabia and, to a much lesser but increasing extent, the Canadian oi...

Oil prices are on the rise and I don't see that ending anytime soon. VLO is positioned nicely to take advantage of the heavier crude and I think that will continue to work to their advantage over the next few years.

Refiners have been beaten down recently due to decreasing margins (crack spread) and a perceived decrease in demand for gasoline due to a weakening economy. I believe oil prices will pull back as money flow from commodities comes back into equities....

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...

With oil hovering the $110 mark, the crack spread is absolutely torturing the refiners. Pure play refiners like Valero and Tesoro will be hurt the most. I see Valero with more potential downside in the refining group becuase its the biggest refiner...

Valero, the best heavy oil refiner in the business with the most data to offer investors. Want to know what a cracker is? It's in the info they give out!

They have a sweet deal taking in heavy crude from down south and turning it into gasoline and ...

A sometimes volitile stock that has, currently, stabilized with the rest of the oil industry. I don't like the instability in stock price. Yet---the underlying performance, and net, show that the potential value has not been realized. I expect thi...

Valero's tight cost controls - for every 25-cent a barrel reduction in operating costs, Valero sees a 30 cent a share increase in after-tax earnings

Similar to Suncor. Oil in a temporary pullback in the face of global increase in demand. Also a hedge against the dollar falling. No new refineries coming online anytime soon. VLO is a screaming buy at or below 50$/share, which gives it's P/E rat...
