VLO: Bull or Bear?
Valero Energy: Time to Take Some Profits?
VLO
+38.79%
in
860 days
Filed under: Stocks to Buy  Time was, independent refiners like Valero Energy Corporation (VLO), first discussed here on April 20, 2009 at a price of $20.08, were in a bind, operationally, due to high oil prices and low gasoline demand that squeezed crack spreads.
But that was a long time ago. Refinery margins, which were squeezed during 2008-2009, due to the loss of more than 8 million jobs from the U.S. economy -- many of those being vehicle owners -- continue to recover. Gasoline demand, in particular, has rebounded: the U.S. will likely see decreased gasoline usage on a per capita basis, ...

(closed on 01/22/10)
Filed under: Valero Energy (VLO), Stocks to Buy  Valero Energy (NYSE: VLO) has underperformed, but I'm nevertheless Reiterating my Buy rating for the company, first recommended on April 20, 2009 at a price of $20.08. Here's why:
True, gasoline demand has lagged due to the recession, but that trend is expected to end, as lay-offs decline with the U.S. economic recovery.Continue reading Valero Energy has underperformed, but stick with the refiner <>Valero Energy has underperformed, but stick with the refiner originally appeared on BloggingStocks on Fri, 14 Aug 2009 14:00:00 EST.

Valero Energy knows Americans are inseparable from their cars

(closed on 08/14/09)
Filed under: Valero Energy (VLO), Stocks to Buy  Readers of this space know that one of the preferred sectors has been the refining sector, with exclusions made for a few companies. Would that the United States (and much of the world, for that matter), transition to a next-generation propulsion system (natural gas, electric, fuel cell) quickly, but unfortunately that goal still looks a decade away, perhaps more. And that means refiners like Valero Energy (NYSE: VLO) will remain a force.
The market punished Valero in 2008 after refining margins narrowed substantially, but folks, we're talking g...

(closed on 01/12/09)
Filed under: Major movement, Earnings reports, Top Picks 2007, Valero Energy (VLO), Chasing Value, Oil, Stocks to Buy  When I suggested In December 2006 that Valero Energy (NYSE: VLO) would be a smashing investment in 2007, I looked great as it rose from around $50 to almost $80 per share. When I stuck with it, recommending it for 2008, I got sandbagged big time as it sank from a 52-week high of $73.68 to a recent low of $14.59.
Valero was trapped by rapidly rising crude prices and shrinking margins on the refined product. However, in the last quarter it was able to show a year-over-year <>incr...

Three Stocks That Look Cheap Here
VLO
+15.20%
in
1781 days
It would seem that I made a lot of people mad in previous articles, when I claimed that Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG) and Qualcomm (QCOM) didn't deserve their current evaluations. Well, I decided to take a different approach this time, and list a few stocks that I thought were trading at a lower evaluation than they were currently worth. In the case of HD, this one might still require a few more months to start to rebound, but I am recommending getting into it now, as it will rebound so quickly when it does.

crack spreads will improve with crude oil price dropping this takes a few weeks to take hold as VLO consumes expensive inventory and replaces it with cheaper crude oil. VLO also uses heavy crude which is 20 bucks cheaper than the lightr crude price listed on CNBc....all of a sudden you will see it take off here by mid august

Benefiting from the Oil Correction
VLO
+6.27%
in
1792 days
We advised caution in the oil markets on July 2nd, 2008. We are seeing the correction now. For targets I have $80-$100 as the low. The correction should continue through the end of this year. When we originally wrote this article, my partner Sergey got a lot of negative commentary on some boards, which made us pretty confident about our analysis. The majority of the public is always wrong near the peaks and valleys. The public sentiment is probably one of the best trading indicators around.

BUY: Valero (nyse: VLO)
Gasoline is hitting an all-time high on a wholesale
basis, and it looks like higher prices are down
the road. You need to gird for $4.00 gasoline this
summer—perhaps even higher. Even with historic
highs in the price of crude and gasoline, the
ratio between the value of a barrel of crude oil
and the value of the gasoline you can make from
it is currently a loser for the gasoline producers.
Normally, the ratio is about 1.25, meaning that
the value of the volume of gasoline you refine
from a barrel of oil provides a 25% gross margi...
