Stock price when the opinion was issued
An independent refiner, mostly in the Midwest US. On a valuation basis they are probably doing better than some of their bigger peers. Have recently been taking a lot of downtime on many of their refineries for maintenance and therefore their last quarter was not as great. Have a good history of making money, taking advantage of the US shale gas light oil play which makes their costs much lower. Have a good history of raising the dividend over time. If you want to be in this space, this would be a decent choice.
Refiner and transporter of fuel. There is a little bit of a breakdown occurring. Had a good uptrend from late 2011 up through to the beginning of 2013 and then it started to break down. Chart shows a neckline which was broken and is now trying to find some support. It doesn’t look all that healthy with a break of the longer-term trend line.
