Publicly traded refiners have already lost three-quarters of their stock-market value since 2007, but Caris analyst Ann Kohler has trimmed her price targets further on stocks like Sunoco (SUN) and Tesoro (TSO). Given weak demand and spare domestic capacity, "refiners' fundamentals and margins will continue to remain challenged over the second half, as well as into the next decade," she argues.

I continue to like the refiners, says Tim Seymour. I’d look at Tesoro [TSO] or BP [BP].

“Right now, this stock is in a vicious downtrend,” said Fitzpatrick. Despite the downward pressure, Tesoro has seen a nice rally in the last month or so. Fitzpatrick recommended keeping a tight stop (a sell order that executes at a predetermined price to avoid excessive losses) if you plan on buying TSO.

oil will go up in 2009

“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.”

He pointed out that Tesoro(TSO) is trading where it is because of the large amount of debt on their balance sheet.

Gas demand numbers have been weakish so far which should lead to a quick buildup of gas inventories. tso is the most expensive large refiner trading well above historical range
