Industry best refineries capable of handling sour/heavy crude - pay attention to the fact there is a worldwide SHORTAGE of sulfur - needed in medicines, agriculture fertilizers, etc ... and VLO cashes in there too. In a world of PEAK OIL ... VLO is a… More

Valero is a "merchant refiner." This means that it is not a fully integrated oil company with significant stake in proved oil reserves - rather, it is at the mercy of the marketplace for buying its crude feedstock. When refining margins are… More

It's recent purchases of ethanol plants and a bottom of the barrel price.

I like the deep value I see built into this company and it's counterparts in the industry and this one carries an ample 3.3% dividend yield making it even sweeter than many of it's competitors. I have also been reading what the experts have been saying about the terrible prospects and dark times ahead for these companies based on blah, blah blah blah.....these clowns were gassing away about 200-250$ a barrel oil, goldilocks banks and AIG as the investments of the millennium right over the cliff and into the chasm of irreparable capital destruction. Furthermore, I suspect these are the same experts who are surprised by everything that ever happens and have poorer accuracy than even the lowly meteorologists do who can't predict the weather with any more accuracy than I can throwing darts at a board with random forecasts on it. Who pays these jerks anyway, I know of no other business where you can do your job wrong half the time and make six figures for it rather than having your fired ass escorted off the premises. Which brings up another point of contention with know it all experts, who among us is foolish enough to put any faith in the weatherman’s 7 day outlook? Not 1 in 100 that’s who, but many of these same people will take that big dummy AL Gore seriously when he predicts the weather in 50 years from now like complete mongoloids. I'll take the contrarian view against these benighted boobs every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Long on VLO for huge profits.
