    Is Valero a Better Buy than Exxon Mobil? [view article]
    The US still imports refined products so there is no overcapacity in this area. The refiners are trading at below replacement value and are a great long term buy. Right now they are suffering because of being at the wrong end of the stick (weak economy/high oil). Worldwide the demand for refined products is increasing so the long-term fundamentals are great for this industry.

    Chevron: Good Choice for Conservative Growth Investor [view article]
    The model portfolio was just launched this week and is up through last night both in absolute terms and relative to the market. Year-to-date, the current holdings are down less than 10%, with a range of -18% to +3%. Reply

    First time I've read anything by this author, but have to guess that this particular model portfolio must have been hammered...lagging the S&P by a BUNCH, given the overweight of financials and consum. disc.

    It is amazing when the lender and buyer of last resort ... the FEDERAL GOV'T OF THE UNITED STATES ... decides to begin buying equities, i.e., FNM, FRE, etc. We are going to look back on this time a era of extremely bad judgement. How can BAC and C show stuning performance when they announced huge losses?? Just boggles the mind. Reply

    Interesting analysis. I would also like to know how you would have faired if you reinvested the dividends. Also if the analysis can distinguish between companies that raise the dividends consistently and the ones that do not. Reply

    Check out this article about sectors making breaks right now- might be useful for investors and traders (sorry couldn't help but notice the fight on this board) alike. www.greenfaucet.com/tr...

    Quite frankly, I'm amazed that this articles author's analysis pointed to airlines, hotels, and leisure products as the sub-sectors that will make a break next week.. check it out.

    Tracking Crack Spreads [view article]
    DC Reader -

    Valero actually refines more oil in the United States than ExxonMobil does in its company-owned facilities. Valero cranks out 2,112,000 barrels a day from 13 sites while ExxonMobil churns 1,880,500 barrels out of a half-dozen refineries. Of course, Valero's production is strictly domestic. ExxonMobal operates globally.

    The Oil & Gas Journal keeps tracks of such things.

    Larry -

    The spread seasonally cheapens through the fall. Last October, in fact, it contracted to 12 cents a barrel before rebounding.

    Trading the reverse crack spread (selling crude short and buying the products) is an option if you think crude's headed lower, but it's a much riskier proposition. It's better for most traders to await the bottoming.

    Actual experiance in 'geothermal heating & cooling' in a co-op residential community in Lafayette Park, Detroit has proved successful after initial installation glitches in 2002. For a 1,200 sq ft 2 story townhouse the monthly cost of H&C including lighting and appliances is currently reported to be an amazing $29.00 !!! Reply

    Do NOT worry about the truckers and the speed at which they go. Either the HOS rules are forcing minimal driving hours (fast speed, beam me up Scotty) or the trucking company is strugling financially (mandate to drivers is drive slow and maximize fuel efficiency). Will probably see two groups and nobody in between. Reply

    Hi,

    Great article. With the crack spread on gasoline for Oct trading at around $0.33...wouldn't you say this is a good time to buy the spread? P.S. you said that buying the spread entails buying crude and selling gasoline but in essence you want to sell crude and buy gas to bet that either crude price will fall or gas price will rise or both right? or am i missing something here?
