BUY

Likes refineries. Reasonably valued. Thinks it will go higher. There is a little seasonality with this where it ramps up in the summer and declines in the late summer and fall. You could buy today and hold on till mid-July when you could exit.

BUY

His model price is $115, a 63% positive differential.

BUY

Largest independent pure play in North America. There are seasonal issues here and right now there is not a lot of demand for heating oil.Believes it is the best way to play the refining cycle. He would own but he does not.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 17/06. Up 36.4%.) His model price is $115.75, a 60% positive differential. Pre-announced today and the stock was off 1%. Still a Buy.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 5/07. Up 40.8%.) Benefited from the refining margin expansion. Reduced his holdings. The beginning of the year, such as February, is a beautiful time to buy it.

WAIT

The largest pure play refining company. Rallied very hard as the refining margins widened. Has now pulled back. Very profitable. The greatest upside will be into the summer of next year when the real demand for refining comes into play. Wait until February-March and sell in July.

HOLD

Very well run company. At this level, it is a Hold. Traded in wide and an erratic swings is because of the crack spread, the margin that ogres for refiners. Very diverse in its asset base. Great stock from a trading perspective.
