This company has terrible assets and will be among the first wave of refiners to merge/go bankrupt when the next refining crunch hits. That said, some idiots will come along and pop this thing up. Only one paw mildly up--I wouldn't buy this for even… More

If I were to guess I'd say this stock sees $6 before any meaningful bounce.

I will keep this cyclic company in my portfolio forever -- either go bankrupt, or become a stable company. The management I believe is a good one. The bankruptcy is pretty remote. The economics of the industry is lousy. This generates a tremendous opportunity for average down play. The recipe: buy at any price when it is down 40-50% from its near term high with 1/3 of intended investment. Average down if you can each time it is down another 10-20% from your purchase with your addition 1/3. And wait. Get out with 20% gain within a few month. Repeat.
