I'm attracted to this stock for the same reasons as I am towards XOM, RDC, DO, and HERO: energy demands. Valero is almost as attractive as Diamond Offshore and Rowan in that it has a great PEG ratio of only 0.37, a low P/E (trailing=8.1; forward=9.7)...

They're just not building too many more refineries ( NIMBY ), and oil has dropped a bit to draw this into a reasonable range...may drop a bit more if oil does, due to short term factors ( fewer hurricanes, possible warmer than normal winter ), but I'...
