I'm intriguesd by any stock with a P/E of 8,3 and a PEG ratio of 0.36. I know a lot of people who got burnt by energy stocks in the 1970's ad 80's but I see many ways VLO is different:

1. VLO does not invest in infrastructure and explorat...

Bought VLO for my wifes Roth at around $48. Solid company that exposes me to energy and pays a little dividend. Has a good moat as an investment but follows the price of oil mostly. Missed it when it was about half the price and just watched VLO run ...

Though refiners have been squeezed a bit by declining margins recently, the price they charge for their product, gas, will soon go up in step with the recent bump in crude oil. Gas prices were held down to get Americans fully used to $3 gas before b...

After a recent correction from upper 60s to low 50s I think its ready to outperform the market over the next year.Lots of cash, low p/e and moderate debt.

Valero and other refiners have been downtrodden for a decade, leaving VLO price to sales at 15 cents on the dollar in 2000, and is now only 60 cents. Replacement cost per barrel of capacity is now $20,000. This makes VLO a $100 value particularly in ...

Demand for oil will increase and supply will be unpredictable, making refiners like Valero very happy. Their drilling operations are also relatively secure from political disruption. A major supplier of low sulfer diesel... they are ahead of the co...

VLO is down on energy woes. Ahh, boe for them, cool for us at the pumps. However, as soon as some crazy country in the Middle East or elsewhere does something, energy will again recover. Or, quite frankly, OPEC will cut production to meet the lowe...

The dearth of the new refining capacity used to be a U.S story, with commentators pointing out that there hasn't been a new refinery built over there (USA) since 1976. The upshot seemed to be that more gsoline would have to be imported from countries...
