barrons3	I’m bearish on oil, explains Deutsche analyst Paul Sankey. The winter forecast doesn’t seem terribly fierce demand is falling and supplies are certainly adequate. Also Marathon (MRO) has a new refinery coming on line. If you're looking for a trade, consider long ConocoPhillips (COP) but as a restructuring story and outright short Valero (VLO) because refiner margins are shrinking, he says.	Love	October 28, 2009

barrons3	Unless demand rebounds, shutting idle refineries and writing down their value could cause another hit to balance sheets. Many refiners managed to raise capital earlier this year, "but if the low-margin environment persists, they may need to tap the capital markets again," says Caris' Ann Kohler, who has Underperform ratings on refiners including Tesoro, Sunoco, Valero, Frontier Oil (FTO), Holly (HOC) and Western Refining (WNR). Although Valero boasts a strong balance sheet, Sankey contends that it has "just 10 more quarters, or 2.5 years, of liquidity available" unless its markets improve.	Love	August 29, 2009

Stockpickr Staff	"Maybe Valero (VLO) is just a really bad company. First, what's with the second-quarter loss? This should have been a golden moment for a refiner as they have been raising prices like mad and outages have allowed for some excellent gouging. Valero also bought back a gigantic amount of stock much higher -- perhaps the most aggressive buying of stock on the New York Stock Exchange -- and now it offers 40 million shares? That's a nightmare." (<a href="http://jimcramer.rmblogs.thestreet.com/entry.aspx?q=d61f1240-3fdf-48d4-a107-9c1d00b6fffe" target="_blank">"The 10% Pullback Mob," 6-3-09</a>)	Love	June 04, 2009

barrons3	The trade is to own the refiners,” counsels Terranova. “Own Valero [VLO] and Sunoco [SUN]. They have good balance sheets and are not that reliant on credit.”	Love	January 21, 2009

barrons3	“Crack spreads at the refiners are becoming more interesting,” counters Tim Seymour on Fast Money. I’ve got Tesoro [TSO], Valero [VLO] , as well as China Petroleum [SNP] and PetroChina [PTR]on my radar.”	Love	December 24, 2008
sarah z	From a recent Mad Money show:"Valero is dirt cheap but that means absolutely nothing in this market. I like Marathon Oil (MRO) better because of its dividend."	Love	November 20, 2008
barrons3	For energy, Exxon [XOM] remains a better buy, as do refinery-based stocks, which he feels have bottomed (translation: great bargains). These include Marathon [MRO], Valero [VLO] and Kinder Morgan [KMP] (which is a "double whammy": high yield AND high earnings).	Love	November 20, 2008
