A solid company with sound management, this stock should move upward in the near future. The stock has stagnated for the last few months, but is poised for a breakout now that the winter conversion of the fuel has already occurred.

I owned this stock during its massive run-up and sold around $70 to put a down payment on a house. I haven't kept up with Valero as feverently since then, but my valuation still pegs it as worth $70 to $80 per share. No one, and I mean no one, is bui...

Valero Energy is an oil and gas pipeline company. I love these companies because they have the infrastructure in place to make profits for decades.

VLO is a great refiner, is off its high, has a great dividend and is cheap. They have cash coming out of their ears and the demand for refiners is high and there are no new refiners being built. Basic increase in supply with superior fundamentals m...

VLO has been an exercise in patience. I originally purchased it for my virtual fund at Marketocracy.com (thankfully it wasn't real money.) Since then the stock has fallen precipitously, bottoming out in the high 40's. However, my faith in stock ha...
